V. Highlands Puppetry Studio

Had the pleasure of visiting a studio off Virginia Highlands with Cinebot Video crew that I'd heard a lot about.  Met some really friendly artists and creatives who made me feel at home.  Ended up leading a hand helping to paint the two-person direwolf puppet built for a Game of Thrones event at the Atlanta Film Festival.
