Creating a different robot each day is the idea behind an art project called 'Robot A Day'. These "robot pouches" are made of vinyl and have a zipper for a mouth.

"Create a robot a day". That’s the goal of this artistic and creative project by Erin Wilk, a Canadian designer who displays her robot designs for Monday through Friday on her blog: Robot a Day.
This started out as a personal creative project, but in time, robots have invaded Erin’s life. She spends her days manufacturing these cute and expressive "robot pouches" that have zippers for mouths, and can be used to store any sort of object, such as an iPod, coins, bobby-pins, clips, or bills...
Erin has always designed small bags shaped like robots. One day, she thought to add a moustache, then she began reusing spare fabric and pieces of vinyl left over from the handbags she’s been designing for years. This is how she began this eco-friendly way of designing a different robot each day. She thought it would be a fun way to test how creative she could be.
She confesses that her goal is to create an army of robots, and she’s well on her way to doing just that. To date she’s created 249 different dolls: the cactus robot, the umbrella robot, the robot cook... She’s also designed thematic robots inspired by mythological animals, robots that look like food, literary characters such as Sherlock Holmes and his trusty cohort Watson, or artists such as the immortal Elvis. All of them are shaped like robots.
The video that follows is a touching love story between two of her robots. It’s a stop motion animation starring a silver-colored robot called 'Blandito Bot', and a curvy robot with buttons for eyes.
On her blog, you can also download templates to make paper robots like this one.
