'Be still my blinking heart' by Paul Spooner
I guess with February right around the corner, it's not unreasonable to start thinking about Valentine's Day...or at least heart-themed automata! This cute little blinking heart automaton is another fine Paul Spooner creation.

Hi Dug,
Thanks for the great site. I have been staring at this little automaton trying to figure it out. Does he have a rod pushing up the eyes from underneath, or is there something in the back pulling it up?
Thanks,
Bill
The eyeballs are attached to the lid and they go up and down as the lid is raised and lowered. You'll see a rod attached to the back of the lid, if you look carefully.
