I made his head floppy and turning to the side. I pulled out all my rust and discolored bits, but that wasn’t good enough so I had to do some research into making metal look old. What fun- home chemistry! Then, gears-Â I needed some gears… shout out for donations on my local community mailing list- the next day, a bag of gears on my doorstep. Have I mentioned that I love the internet?! I was finished with him on Wednesday… but then I wasn’t. I made him new legs and feet. Better. And a few more bits of hardware. I now declare him finished.
the “Idea” was a robot, found decomposing in a forest, a milleneum after his last step… but I think he looks more like he’s had a few too many and didn’t make it home. Whatever.
This is amazing. I love your work.
I love your work. It looks like you have so much fun and joy in it all.
Seriously, this piece is wonderful.
These are just wonderful, they make me smile. I love how you incorporate different elements into their features, especially the zipper mouth.
I see the TIN MAN from …OZ
LOVE your dolls
The foot/shoe treatment is exactly the right touch. Magic happens in your studio!
This whole set of robots is fabulous!
Oh dear, poor inebriated tin man.
Perfect Mimi, He does look like he has been abandoned, gone a little rusty,had some moss grow on him- fantastic photos, My favourite of all your robots!
Oh, he is really really wonderful!
I love him! Like Ric-Rac, I want to bring him home and take care of him, drunk or not!
Oh I love him as I love everything you make!!!
Totally neat! A little heart and he could be the tin man.
love the poor neglected tin man! beautiful art and blog, I’m so glad I followed Jodie’s link to come have a snoop around. Hope you have a lovely weekend. I suppose I should really get something useful done now. or more coffee… more coffee would be much much better than housework.
You are so clever! I love that zipper mouth. He is adorable! I have followed your work for a while and really enjoy your dolls.
your robot is groovy! all your robots are! Your talent in sewing is awesome… I’ve given you a blog award….

wow! this is the best one yet! i love his organic look. you are gifted!
I keep thinking tin man
I think I love this robot most of all!
An organic robot, returning to the earth. I love him, and I love how you’ve staged him.
I would love to buy this green robot. I love his story. Is he for sale??
I think you did a fantastic job! He looks wonderful :)
He is amazing. I thought of this Japanese movie Castle in the Sky (or Laputa as it’s known to hard-core purists) they have robots that have been taken over by nature. Wonderful, truly wonderful.
If the latter observation is true….he might just need a little oil can …. I hear that is good robot therapy…..Love this version the best….Thanks for the wonderful photos….and…….the humorous observation….made my day!

OMG! I’m gone for a week and what a pleasure to come back to see your robots and little guy! I wasn’t able to keep up with blogs so I’m catching up. I got my felt mid week for Purl Girl and have her done in parts. I will try to finish her in the next week and blog about it – it was so nice to have a project on vaca. – she would be finished if Maggie hadn’t gotten sick – UGH!
WOW, this little guy is absolutely amazing. You are so very talented and I love the photographs! You have a great imagination. Thanks for making me smile. :)
What a beautiful project! I really like the combination of fabric and metal parts.
he is so fantastic.
i think he looks best in the white room by the mirror

He is my favorite of all. I immediately thought discarded robot, not drunk robot; & this was before before I read your post.
