Too much time on my hands

This is what happens when you mix silly putty (a birthday gift from [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_iii), Photobooth, and GIMP.

The blob! It moves!

It took twenty four hours to get from the first purple bit to the second (and then about 5 minutes to get back up again :))

As you can see, I hadn't really thought through what I was doing till I started. My advice to anyone else doing something like this (why you would I don't know, there's MUCH better ways to do stop motion photography) is to cover the screen with an open A4 book, stops the flash ruining the image. And think through what you're going to end up with before you start :) Here's the instructions for using GIMP to do animation.

Beware of the blob it creeps and leaps and glides and slides across the floor...
