SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: Spider Webs

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

Spider Webs

Luckily I have an order from a friend for some of my spider webs and I don't have to be outside. Sometimes it's just too flippin' hot here in AZ to possibly work outside. Currently around 112 and 65% humidity. It's ugly and even uglier with a welding helmet and protective gear on. So, I opt to stay indoors and create smaller items. I've always loved spider webs, not so much real spiders, just the beauty of their webs, so I create these little webs to place in windows and on mirrors, up in a corner of a room or wherever else you may want them. I'll be working on a REALLY big one for outside as soon as it cools off. They are all over my house and sometimes I forget where they are and they'll catch the corner of my eye and I'll have a quick feeling of "What's That!", then relief.... Oh yeah, spiders.

Some have crystals in them to catch the light

They have glass beads with long legs

and some are just the webs

I particularly like the last one just the web and crystals - must be pretty delicate work. Hard to think of it being hot in AZ given we are having quite cold morning here in Maleny. Stay cool.
