SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: Git along little dogie

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

Git along little dogie

We were tired and been driving too many miles in too few days, but coming upon this scene was so grounding for me. I love the West, the cowboy life, riding horses, gettin' dirty. There is something truly comforting about driving cross country - gettin' out of the city and seeing life like it should be. What a nice traffic jam we came upon.

Watching the new babies cross the road running back and forth trying to find Mom, being scared with this new experience, the bulls butting heads showing off for all those heifers! It was great.
