    Incredible! I love automata and these whirlygigs are in that genre. So expressive, ingenious and just cool!!! I hope to own one someday, but they are art, so not cheap. Enjoyed this a lot!!

    Incredible, just love these ! They also are automata and very very clever. Wouldn't mind owning some, but they are ART, and therefore not cheap (no should they be). Just wonderfull!!!
