SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: InSulaTors ~ What do you do with Them?

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

InSulaTors ~ What do you do with Them?

I've been Spring Cleaning getting rid of stuff I've grown bored of looking at ~ it's really so I can go find more treasured junk, but truly I'm just purging a little. Anyway, I had all these old InSulaTors in my window sill that I've collected for a long time, but you couldn't really see them.

Can you see them? Exactly my point!

Since I love glass and colorful bottles, which are all thru my house I just had to figure out how to showcase these beauties....sooo here's what I did.

I gather some old wire, old beads and crystals

and I twisted and beaded and pulled all those items together in crazy designs, nothing is every thought out with me I just jump into it. If I was a jewelry maker I'm sure I could of rocked these out, but I like Funky, Organic and Whimsical designs. So after twisting, and twisting and twisting things

Here's how my window looks now!

Whalla, TaDa, Viola

(those are weird words)

Can you see them NOW?

I'm really aspiring to do this
