Motion Picture

Craft is a fantastic magazine if you're...well, crafty. Each page of the paper and pixel versions is loaded with fabulously fun ways to keep your idle hands and creative brain from getting into trouble. A recent entry inspired me to make my own thaumatrope, which is a device that takes two separate, static images and, through the magic of motion, combines them into one. This short video shows what I'm talking about:



The example that Craft shared featured a cunning little bird perched on a twig; you can get the instructions by clicking here. Instead of the innocent little bird, I decided upon something more cynical and sinister. If you're similarly inclined, click below and print to create your own "Glenn Beck's True Nature" thaumatrope makins.
