The video setup isn't quite as finished as I'd like, but it suffices to get some decent footage to play with. I've put a timelapse here and there.
I was very pleased that I got video of an entire making of a Minimalist Frog without forgetting to turn on the camera for any steps, or getting so distracted by operating the camera that I did something wrong in stitching (hard to do in the Frog but I'm sure I could find a way), but now I'm going through the footage and realizing the camera angle I have chosen means my finger obstructs the needle while I'm showing how it works. WHOOPS
So that'll be a little more filming. I may timelapse the revised Jumping Spider, though I don't have a setup to film the hand work yet - the cutting out, the stuffing, the wiring, and the sewing up. I picked the Frog because it's basic enough not to need that. Filming hand work is harder, because I have to remember to keep my hands in the middle of the frame and I am way too easily distracted to remember that.
In between, I've gotten a couple more little designs out: Freedom and Hello Pumpkin but I'm going to have to wrap up the September designs next week - voting seems to have tapered off and it looks like it's going to be the (grown-up) Standing Dragon finally, to go with the Baby Standing Dragon..
