-The Mechanical Cockatoo-

 

Mechanical Cockatoo 1

I realised that I’ve not shown you my moving sculpture on the blog.

This little stone & wire Cockatoo flaps its wings when you turn the handle and slides out a gift card for you.

The two rocks come from the Dandenong Ranges, the stick from Mornington beach and from there, I’ve cut out some feathers out of old maps and built the mechanism with wooden spools, rods, the handle of a vintage hand mixer and sewing elastics.

Let’s see it in action at a market, it has delighted big and little children:

Can You Guess?

Hello there!

I have one photo to show you. The playing pieces of the Map Game, but there are no kangaroos or cockatoos on those. Look closely and tell me if you can guess what this means?
