Grandpa Fixes the Whirly Machine

The retired grandpa inventor leans over his bench with a grin. Big round goggles sit on his nose, and his mustache curls like two commas. He turns a tiny lever on a gear machine packed with pipes, a glass dome, and a small dial. On the shelf behind him, bottles stand in rows while a wall gear peeks over his shoulder.

His overalls carry spare cogs on the straps, and a stout belt holds his tools. Wrenches, a screwdriver, and a loose nut rest on the tabletop, waiting for their turn. Curvy pipes and bolts wrap the machine, and a soft puff of steam floats beside it. He takes his time in his cozy workshop, enjoying retirement one tiny tink at a time.

Fun Fact!

Many retirees find that they enjoy a "biphasic" sleep pattern, sleeping at night and also having a nap during the day.

Coloring Tips

  1. 1 Blend copper, brass, and gray to make the machine look metal and old.
  2. 2 Add pale blue with a white shine on the goggles and glass dome.
  3. 3 Color each gear a different shade so you can track how they connect.
  4. 4 Use soft gray for the steam cloud, then swirl in a little light blue.
