Aesthetics of Design
I love this type of art because my husband and I spent several years creating wall decorations, mailbox decorations, and yard critters from scrap metal. We were finding it harder and harder to find material to use, due to insurance liability laws at scrap yards, junk yards, and used auto parts stores, our main sources of scrap. It was SO much fun to see a piece sitting in a pile, envision that it’s a critter’s head, or would be great as a body, or whatever, take our treasures home and try to put them together.

These pieces, of course, are way beyond our meager efforts, but the ‘seeing’ or ‘recognizing’ what can be used as a part of the thing you’re trying to create, the time it takes to weld things together and then finish the piece remain the same.

I’m in awe of the different textures this artist achieved in this piece. The delicacy of the face, the smoothness of her lips – just beautiful.
I love the idea of miniature people and animals created from nuts, bolts, screws, and the like. SO creative!
