With recent goings on in my life my wife and I are looking for a mutual hobby to keep our minds occupied while certain unpleasantness in our family, beyond our control at this point, plays itself out. The problem is that the hobby needs to be hilariously inexpensive and suit both of our interest levels.
We both tentatively decided on Anthropomorphic Taxidermy.
For those of your who do not know what that is, it's taking dead animals an performing taxidermy to give them human attributes. I know that the Hipters are ruining this too, just like they ruined bacon, zombies, beer and food... but it's a cheap hobby and we both show an interest in it. Click here for one of my favorite examples of this artform.
Our goal is to mimic famous movie posters with feeder mice from the "frozen food" section of our local pet shop. You know, give them clothes, wigs, accessories and pose them in dioramas that mimic famous movie posters... then photograph them.
On to my question. Anyone here active in this hobby? Any resources on how to get started? It seems straightforward enough and I already seem to have all the necessary tools at my disposal.
Thanks in advance to the folks that offer advice, and to the folks that are appalled by this for finding another thread to visit.
