This is a photograph of my automata. I have been collecting them for years from places such as the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre and Dansel Gallery in Dorset. They are made of wood and move in an amusing way when a handle is turned, I love them and would love to have more – but they are expensive because of the amazing imagination and craftsmanship which goes into each one.

love these x
So do I 🙂
Those are so cool! I love tiny things (doll-house type stuff), especially when they have moving parts. 🙂
They are so funny too, wish I could show you them working….
Post a video on FB!! 🙂
Could even do that…Might need some help though. Hmmm…got me thinking now 🙂
As I think I might have mentioned before I used to make these with kids when I did a stint teaching design technology …. great fun
Ooh, make me one when you have a spare 5 minutes….
