Major project, update

Well here is Didi, haven't finished her feet, but this is a proto type. I have discovered plasticine is horrid for making models, its not strong enough, it melts, and it is very messy, (I still have black under my nails) but this is the first time I have ever made figures for stop motion. I am investing in some proper modelling clay asap. However not bad for a first go, and it only took an hour and fifteen to make her.
The other news is that, after re reading Neil Gaimen's novel again, I have decided that it is a little sterile, so what I will be doing is taking 3 short stories from his Smoke and Mirrors book, (which is a collection of short stories) and using them instead. It was building Didi that made me realise, that stop motion  is a little too animated for "Death the high cost of living" and so was a worthwhile exercise, saving me time and energy. I still intend to do stop motion, just different stories..
