Charlies opinion of the treat I gave him:
A burned stump - If 'ya can't dig it out, start a fire!
You all know I just LOVE automata:
The instructions look interesting.....
Soooo, I am going to try to make a paper one!
Easy to punch out:
And so far, fun to glue together!
(Yup - it really does turn!)
:o)
The automata looks really interesting. I saw the artist's name in your photo and did a little research. He also works in wood and metal.

The design you did is part of a package on Amazon.

And there are other artists that do the print and cut automata.
This would be a great project for the long and quiet winter days. (or should that be daze)
We have a craft cutting machine, and I wonder if their are files to let us print and cut automata. Hmm, back to the internet.
Great post!
I just do a few pieces each day. (Keeps me out of trouble!)Have several books to do yet - this seems to be the easiest one to start off with. You are right, I did get them on Amazon!
DeleteA craft cutting machine? Hmmmmmm.... :o)
The automata is really cool. And thanks to John for the link.
ReplyDeleteA bird nest? What, no boid nest? Must have been migratory and not from Joisey.
It was probably just visiting - taxes are way too high in Joisey....
DeleteWhat fun the automata! Can't decide if the grandkids would enjoy it without my making one first, right. Thanks for the link John.
ReplyDeleteBut you must make one first, Brig! (Just in case)!
DeleteGrandmas are supposed to make sure it's safe.... :o)
