SooZeQues Arroyo Junkers and Other Resurrections: Hollyhocks

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

Foto Fun

I've always loved Photography and at last look I had over 22,000 pictures on my computer. I've been staying inside playing with Photoshop, which I truly muddle thru and couldn't recreate what I do to one picture because I have no idea what I did to get the effect ~ All I know is I love playing around with my many photo's. So here are some before and after photo's of some I've been working on. I hope you enjoy!

On my recent thrift store fix I saw a Metallic Gold Cow skull and of course I had to buy it. I finally fixed it up more to my liking... The problem now is Where do I hang it? There is no wall space in or out!!
