One of the crazy
Recycled Art Resurrections I do are
Repurpose Old Shovels into delicate, whimsical sculptures and the older the shovel the better. In fact, I won't use new shovels their ugly! They have no character plus they don't smell like cow manure when I fire up my plasma cutter! OK I know that sound weird because SHOVELS as delicate, whimsical art doesn't really match. I made this for friend of mine who I've known for many years who always helps me with my garage sales & loves dumpster diving with me whenever she's in town and she's just a really good friend. It's one of my favorites.. one because it's a scoop shovel and they make the best wide palate for cutting out designs on and two because of the butterflies. The bottom has an old curtain finial since the handle was broken. I hope she likes it.

Thanks everyone for dropping in to view a small piece of me and my colorful and rusty world.
