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.
