Thanks for your comments Maria. It's a shame he's hardly made a penny from any of these creations. Because each item is unique, you just can't charge for all the hours put into each piece. Thanks for watching.

[@Smellycat1990]

Those are true works of art. The Jungle one is breath-taking.

Hi William glad you like it . Ted

[@mireilleromain4490]

Senor Ted acabo de ver su "Automata Whirligigs". Es una maravilla de trabajo con estos diferentes sujetos. Cuanto tiempo le tomo para hacer cada uno ? Felicitaciones Sr. Cronin. By the way you have a beautiful garden where I'd like to go for a walk.

[@tedcronin9050]

Hola Mireille y muchas gracias for all your comments. Its difficult to say how long they take to build because I work on other things at the same time but the last lighthouse model took about three weeks. and you would be welcome to look round my garden anytime. Ted

[@StevenCronin]

Thanks for watching.

[@frankalvar3866]

[@hilarybroughton7297]

I think your dad's stuff is great. I'd like to go see his automata. Is there any way of contacting him? Thanks Phil

[@StevenCronin]

Phil Hatton Hi Phil. I've spoken to my dad and if you could send your phone number to me via my email at [e-mail] he said he'd give you a call and arrange something.

[@mireilleromain4490]

Senor Ted I am watching your Automata, whirligigs and driftwood. Very interesting the boy proposing to his girl friend. This "going for gold" is well done with all this persons working as well as the Nags'Head. What a beautiful dog ! I almost thought it was a real one. I like this bird flying. I like thing man with his eyes going right and left. You have a beautiful garden and flowers. I just notice that I had a comment below for the same subject. But it doesn't matter much because I saw things I didn't notice before. By the way I will think of something else for more ideas. You do beautiful things. Felicitaciones Sr. Ted and hasta luego

[@edwardcronin2051]

Hola Mireille , Just noticed your comments y muchas gracias , Yes they were all fun to make its nice to try different ideas and its always nice to hear from you. If you have some ideas for me all the better. hasta luego Ted

[@mireilleromain4490]

Thank you Senor Ted for your message. I was watching once more your Automata, whirligigs and driftwood and I noticed this time the beautiful mirror with all the decorations all around. I noticed also the grand father reading in his garden. He is very well done. Congratulations for all this fabulous work. I will think of some ideas and as soon as I have them I will let you know. Hasta luego

[@joygill7494]

Gods love him!

+Joy Gill thanks for watching joy and happy painting
