A little bit of Folk Art, a pinch of Automata,
a sprinkle of Halloween and a Dash of Dark.
au·tom·a·ton
A mechanical figure or contrivance constructed to act as if its own motive power; robot.
It's said that clock makers years ago started creating
automatons to show off their skills.
Over a year ago I had come across 2 Automaton toys at a sale. They are made by the company Timberkits http://www.timberkits.com/Home/ I grabbed them cause, hey, you never know.
Well in my quest for ideas for Halloween art, I went to my trusty closet in my art studio where I keep all of the garage sale and flea market scores that I just know I will use at some point in the future (;0) and there they were. Had to give it a try and to my amazement was able to pull this off.
Here's a quick video to show it in motion.
