I’ve been away.
Candy convinced me that I need to get back together with the old gang.
So that’s what I’m doing.
Motor-driven animated lamps have been a natural progression from my hand-cranked music boxes.
KILLER VIDEO !!! ... https://vimeo.com/136853471 ... if I do say so myself. :-)

Welcome back, John! This is a great lamp (hardly menacing, though). How big is it?
:-)
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Candy. Glad to be back!
Did you watch the video? It scares me. :-)
Every time I make one of my lamps, I’m going for a smaller footprint. Menacing Octopus is 5”x5”.

That is very clever, well done. I think it needs some big googly eyes.

Welcome back and well done. That should keep the kids from getting up at night. Who would want to face that monster in the dark ;-)

Maybe he should be called The Hypno Octo. After watching the video I have vertigo. A pair of eyes would really bring him to life. John, as always, your projects are a visual delight.
