I know you think I've been sitting around eating bonbon's ~ you'd be wrong...... it was Triple Ginger Snaps from Trader Jo's!... my favorite!
In between those little gems I have been getting busy ~ I've got two shows coming up and two vacations and I'm finding it hard to find time to create and deal with the 113 degrees here. As you know I love METAL ART!!! I love creating Butterflies with various recycled items, so I'm working on more garden art, which I'm hoping will be a big hit at the Phx. Botanical Gardens Annual Fall Plant Sale coming up. I always have a booth there in Oct. If you're in the Phx area come on down ~ I've got some goodies I'd like to show you.
Metal Art you fool ~ what did you think!
Everything I do is by hand - hand drawn, hand cut & hand welded. It's time consuming, but I love it. It starts with a big piece of steel, a few markers.
Here's a little video of me cutting out some butterflies just to show you what it's like.
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was HOT like me!!!
Don't CHA!
I'll bet she doesn't have an outfit like mine either!! YEE HAW
Here's what they look like after I've welded the wings onto old Railroad spikes. Next step will be the rod they will stand on and the rusting and/or painting stage.
Here's one in the early stages of RUSTING. It's got a ways to go.
I'm off on my Santa Fe Vacation this Friday - Have A Great WEEK!
Thanks everyone for dropping in to view a small piece of me and my colorful and rusty world.

You are HOT SoozeeQ, compared to you I weld naked! Love your butterflis, I am just too darned lazy! Have great sales at your show!
Amazing work, looks like you where able to power through the 113 degree heat. OMG the freeze dried fruit at trader joes is the best, ill have to try the ginger snaps though.
I usually dont like it when blogs automatically play music, but what a great selection. I reloaded the page just to see what came up next. I'm off to download some tunes. Thanks!

This is amazing. It is fabulous to see how you begin the project, then bring it all the way to the end.
Thank you,

SZQ - had to laugh at your throw away lines - but man it has been hot over your way - can understand the reluctance to get outside and cut metal. Great vid - would have liked to see the work as you saw it - hmm!! can't have everything I guess. looks like a good heap of stock - hope the sales go well. B
You do beautiful work. Amazing that you thought of a railroad tie for the body. Nice.
