"ARROYO"

A dry channel through which water flows intermittently and irregularly. Kind of like this blog.

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

Last night we went to see Ian at Martini Ranch.  Great Show and they had a lot of fans... including Mom, Dad 1&2.  It always still amazes me that Ian's up there on that stage singing his heart out.  Every since I was a little girl I wanted to be able to sing on a stage and feel that thrill.  I'm so happy that he's able to do that.  DATH has so much talent... I know one day I'll be at the Grammy's watching Ian accept the Best Song, Best Artist, Best Album of the year award!!  They'll pan to me (cuz I'll be his date!) and I'll be having one of those ugly crying moments with my mascara flowing down my face all to be seen on national TV, but I will be the proudest Mom every.  I'm so blessed to have such an awesome son.
