\"Automaton<\/a>
Automaton Icon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Paperwhimsy Automaton<\/a> is an intriguing figure. It reminds me of a couple of things, one being an old style fortune teller and another a figure in an icon. I took the direction of Icon with this piece and I hope to make a series of these, exploring more possibilities. \u00a0There are several photos below showing the process for the piece.<\/p>\n

\"theresa<\/a>
Begin by painting and collaging the Automaton Figure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"theresa<\/a>
Add a watch face halo. Glue pearls to the edge of the figure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"theresa<\/a>
Pearls are all around the edge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"theresa<\/a>
Sew a row of rhinestones on a piece of wire mesh. Add another dial (vintage telephone dial) behind the automaton.\u00a0Glue Beads\u00a0onto the butterfly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"theresa<\/a>
Create a background for the automaton. I used a rusty tile on top of an old saw blade over a rusted wooden frame. I used Metal Effects to artificially rust the frame and made the rusted springs with a wire coiler gizmo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"theresa<\/a>
The last touches are four metal roses added to the corners of the frame and the number 3 added to the bottom of the figure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
