SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections

My art is an infectious need for me, sometimes a burden but most often a blessing.

This blog is about me and my obsessions, my loves, my need to create and my need of JUNK. I'm addicted to thrift stores, estate sales, flea markets and all roads leading off the beaten track to discover that perfect piece of junk. I recycle old license plates, old shovels, wheelbarrows, saw blades and anything else that's funky using my hand held plasma cutter. I love working with steel, sculpting, photography, watercolor painting, stained glass, and turning everyday utilitarian objects into art. Junked cars ~ I will always veer off the path to search out the beautiful wrecked Arroyo JunKers throughout Arizona, New Mexico and anywhere else the road may lead. When I'm not searching for those JunKers

I started on a new creation. Steel Guitars! I'm basically figuring it out as I go. The toughest part is welding extremely thin metal without frying it. They are life size. Tomorrow I'll try to figure out how to put the back on. I'm hoping to put it in the Sundust Gallery for Nov. showings.
