I have a friend and co-worker who is retiring Thursday. He is always very supportive of my artsy projects, and I thought he'd enjoy something personal as a gift. He already has 2 of my found object dragonflies, so my husband and I made this for him over the weekend. He loves to fish so I'm hopeful he'll like this.
We also made this. I need to paint it a bright color. I'm leaning toward red. Once in the ground, he'll be sitting on a perch among the flowers...
Right now my husband is doing the welding, I'm the designer, but I hope to be welding within the month. We just got a new welder.
I hope my projects inspire you to try using unwanted items in a new way, to personalize your yard.

I think they both turned out great! I'm sure Doug will like his fish ...I thought you were making a dog so I was surprised to see a fish! lol - turned out good though. Glad to see you & hubby both survived! :)
Nice! It’s so amazing how those scrap metals have transformed into these beautiful artworks. Had you not altered them, those scraps would’ve just ended up in dumpsites. It would've been such a shame if it came to that. Thanks to people like you, those things that are deemed as throwaways are converted into lovely art projects to show off. Cheers!
