Animals from old electronic parts
While browsing earlier I came across this gorgeous collection of animals made from electronic parts which features, among others, an owl, a deer, a horse, a flamingo, and a theropod (my guess is T. Rex, but who am I to say?). Gears become joints, springs become necks, wires become hair, chips become feet. The attention to detail and overall construction is incredible. I wish I could track down the creator, but I haven't been able to find out who made them or when. Anyone?
EDIT: the author is Ann P. Smith. Thanks, Andib!

Damn, beat me to it. But yeah, it does. Next, make a bird that reads your "twitter" messages

I think the key is to have a mountain of electronics parts on hand. I doubt you could make anything this nice with only a VCR or two.

Haha! Yeah, I think you are right, I only have one shelf filled with 'raw' electronics and a few unslaughtered electronics appliances.

Those are so cool looking! They seem like they would be soooo difficult to make. I especially like the moose one :D And the owl one, because I like owls.
