Felt Mistress makes fabulous characters. I like the zany look, and the fact that she doesn't care about being anatomically correct.
You can see her work on her website and blog. And there is a nice article about her on Creative Review.
For automatas, another interesting website is The British Toymakers Guild which links to a few automatas artists.

| Watching the Girls by Robert Race |
I love them all, but I must say I have a soft sport for the works of Robert Race. I love the way he is using drift wood and neutral colours to make his automatas, which reminds me of the sculptures and fetishes I saw many years ago in the Musée d'Afrique et d'Océanie of Paris (now closed). He is mixing in his work inspiration from toys and tribal art, and it gives them a magic feel. I can just imagine how the character on the left wriggles his moustaches :o)
