Book Bot

I'm a reader. Always have been. But the last few months, I've become voracious. I look forward to reading every night like I used to look forward to watching a favorite tv show. Part of my renewed passion has come from the great reviews and articles I've read through Book Riot.

So since I'm also in a productive robot-making phase, I figured I'd combine my two loves and make this:

Thanks, to my little sister, for introducing me to Book Riot and being generally awesome.

Read on!

Florence Bot-ingale

A nurse robot for my sister, complete with removable stethoscope!

Day 314 - Dr. Ro and Mr. Bot

Returning to my brood of boys, but leaving my sister . . .

Sad and Happy

Day 313 - Multitasking

I asked my sister to draw me a robot while I got my hair cut.

 

 

Day 312 - Florida Found Robots

I have a $20 Walmart flip phone, and I used it to take pictures of robots when my sister took me to some flea markets.  Enjoy.  (If you squint, it might make the picture seem clearer.)

This is Clanky, a plastic robot syrup bottle.  My sister said it looked like an astronaut, but it's named CLANKY, for goodness sakes!

I got this fantastic Robot Mood Ring at a flea market (it's bright orange!).  The seller was all, "Okaaaay . . ." when I bought it, and I was all, "You're the one selling it, lady!"

And here's some robots AT my sister's house.  The JOY one is one of my very first, and, yes, that other one is a robot made from vintage harvest-colored Tupperware.

Post 311 - Flying

I'm embarking on a trip to visit my sister.  I hate flying.  But wouldn't it be awesome to make a robot with a little jet pack on?  Hmmm . . .

Day 241 - Impressing the Postal Worker

When I asked for suggestions for Robot-a-Day, I got this one from my sister:
How about a picture of a letter going to your sister, with said letter containing business cards! And....put a robot on it.

Your wish is my command . . . you know, as soon as I get stamps.

(Like my professional blurring of the addresses to keep our identities a secret?  VERY high-tech.)

Day 164 - Aggressive Penguin

My sister brought over a robot for repair.  In the course of fixing, I gave him a new beak.  She says it makes him look aggressive.
