"Magician Bear Automaton"

Magician Bear Automator 3

My magician bear is from a drawing I did about five years ago. I wanted to create movement in my beadwork by making an automaton bear that would actually have the magician pulling a rabbit out of his hat. My goal was to combine my love of automatons with my beadwork. The bear is one and a half inches high. He is worked in Peyote stitch with size 15/0 seed beads. You can see my bear doing his act at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwC1DUqOBNI

Magician Bear Automator 5

My second miniature beaded automaton is a cat with a fish bowl. Turn the handle, and the cat pulls the goldfish out of the beaded fish bowl. The automaton sitting cat is 1" high on a 3/4" plastic base. The base holds my hand made mechanism. The cat and the fishbowl are beaded with size 15/0 seed beads. The cat is fully jointed.  You can see my bear doing his act at  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp7bb0lpeJs
