Automato, Imagerie d'Epinal Barre Fixe

[Sharonpaints]

Playing with paper today. A welcome distraction from real life!

I have always loved paper automata especially the sand powered ones. This one, powered by air, has been in my collection for a while. Now that it is finished I'm a bit disappointed with how this displays....The front view fails to show the acrobats and side views are obscured by the supports and wheel!

The wheel was a challenge. I modified the design for my third attempt. Larger image available on Flickr.

For anyone interested in automata I would like to suggest the Automata Magazine, published in PDF format 6 times a year. Full disclosure, I volunteer and manage the FB page.
