I’m loving finding these creations by people who have seen potential in scrap metal. It got harder and harder for my husband and me to find sources for wonderful scraps, due to insurance liability issues at junk yards and used car parts places, and it was hard to find anything but used tools at yard sales. I think these are fantastic.

One of the really fun things my husband and I did when we lived on top of our ridge line in Arkansas was create ‘critters’ for our yard. Large and small, we enjoyed finding things we thought were interesting in junk yards, in yard sales, along the roadside, scrap yards and more, and then basing a ‘critter’ on one or more parts we found. We would then look around to find what we had to add to the piece until it was ‘finished.’ Then we would paint the critter with protective paint and find his or her ‘place’ in the yard. Since we lived on 8 acres, it was fun to dot them up and down the driveway and then around the house.
I am in awe of the imagination I see when I search for “scrap metal art.” These people have really brought what was simply fun for us to an art form.

I LOVE scrap metal art. It always evokes an emotional response. I want to run my hands over the turtle’s shell. I gawk at the fish. And I grin at the moose. The creativity shown in these amazes me. People ‘see’ an image when one piece or another grabs their interest, and the emerging comes from there. Just fascinating.

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!

I love the idea of using scrap metal, giving it new life and purpose by creating things from your imagination. Jason Heppenstall has brought this idea to an art form. You can check out his website HERE.
This is a real master and I’m so glad I found it to share it with you!

These wonderful critters were created by the team of “M and M” (Marty Cohen and Margie Ruegger) who use their imagination, sense of humor, creativity, welding skills, and scrap metal to bring smiles.
