We’re excited to say that artist Loulou Cousin has designed us four new mini automata kits. Each pack contains parts to make a running character and one of her trademark quirky collage style figures. There are a variety of collage pieces to customise your character. After you have made the 2 designs you can use the box template included to make endless funny characters. This kit contains: 2 boxes 2 lengths of 18-gauge wire 4.5mm split pins/brads A5 300gsm craft card with printed character Plain A5 craft card A5 collage sheet Instruction Booklet – includes links to How-To Videos Box template for additional projects You will also need: A pair of long nose pliers that can also cut wire A glue stick Sticky tape a pencil eraser scissors Something to pierce a hole in card (eg. sharp compass or bradawl) Loulou Cousin is a fantastic artist and makes lots of fun cardboard automata. She is also a facilitator on our Automata Tinkering Global Workshops. Read an interview with Loulou here or see more of her work on instagram. View more project examples here.
