Green Applause Machine


Here is the green version of the Applause Machine. The word green is said to come from the Old English verb "growan", which means "to grow". Culturally, green has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, green symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, it is associated with death, sickness, envy or the devil. The most common associations, however, are found in its ties to nature although in America, green is a slang term for money.
Laikingland's green is a Signal Green and is quite a luscious and happy version of the colour which complements our Current Red Applause Machines very well indeed.

The Brothers Grimm


I've always loved The Brothers Grimm's Fairy tales and as a maker The Elves and the Shoemaker was always a favourite. I hope John Lumbus doesn't sneak into the workshop at night naked like the elves but for me seeing the Applause Machines appear is magical.
