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 was an early riser this AM....4:15. Where was I headed you ask.. Cave Creek Flea Market!!! Bought the sterling silver Hollyhock ring and a Pink Rose Marble pendant. It was pretty cool. Met some nice folks and of course bought a few treasures. Cave Creek is so beautiful - brings back the feel of NM but with more cactus. It was sprinkling all morning, but we were all done at the Market when any heavy rain fell. Headed over to an estate sale in the same area before coming home. Funny to walk into a house and see Rose Mofford the X Govenor of Arizona sittin' there. She looked still the same that beehive hairdo and thick fake eyelashes. Bought a couple of items there and even a shovel I'd never seen before for a $1.
