The Steampunk Robot Family

 Meet Bop, the bell hop ... don't you love the bell on his cap?  Me too .... Let me tell you how Bop came into my life ...
 Once upon a time, Mr. P and two of my sons, Son B and Son S ... ran in a 5k called, 'Hale Freezes Over' ... a benefit for our local community theater ...  The Hale Center Theater ... After the race ... in which my husband took first in his age group (Although it was a very old age group :-))  ... they had a drawing with lots of fun prizes ...


When he won Bop ... he was very happy because he knew his wife would love Bop ...
 Because Bop was made by the artist that made the robots above, robots that sold at flea.o.logy a couple of summers ago...  In fact the elegant lady to the far right, stayed at the flea.o.logy house when all of her robo friends went home ...


Though I did buy another robot at the following flea.o.logy, it was a childbot, riding in a fantastic space vehicle ...  so our elegant lady was still pretty much alone with not one to talk too ... now she has Bop, but unfortunately she cant't talk to him anyway ... because ... well, neither of them have mouths ...  :-(  Don't you think she looks like an opera singer?  You know with the wings and the breast plate looking thing?  I like to imagine she is world famous, on some other world, and she goes to a new hotel every week as her opera travels ... and then she falls for the kind Bell Hop, Bop ... ah such a lovely love story!



The artist who created this little family and many others is Penny Jones, Penny just happens to also be the scenery painter at the Hale Center theater.  I just can't believe my luck in having my husband win Bop in the drawing.  Really, what are the chances?

  1. I bought a cool robot Monkey from a vendor at Fleattitude last year...she had tons of those darling robots and her prices were too low for all the work she put into them. But she said she didn't do it so much for the money, but because it ws fun.
