I know you’re not a robot geek like I am but I just had to share this great site I found while look for inspiration for my wee robot. It’s a French site, Robopolis. The Collection link has so many great tin repro robots. My favorites are…
skiing guy (Robot Explorer B-17)
and Neutron Bleu
oh, and to keep it crafty… how about these crocheted robots.
A captivating gang of 24 huggable, lovable creatures to sew—from classics like Margot, a topsy-turvy doll, and the button-jointed teddy bear Bjorn Bjornson, to irresistible Evelyn, a wool felt inchworm decked out in mod glasses and a kerchief, and Koji, a fiercely cute spiked softie monster. There’s something for everyone here—from kids to grown-ups and from beginning sewers to advanced dollmakers. Published by STC Craft, August, 2010.
