petal people as a centerpiece.

Holding their little flags of encouragement these peeps were our centerpiece and also gifts for our guests.

Making faces again.

More Palm tree stuff. These are the seed pods cut sanded and made into masks.

Theese will be future mask to add to my bar-b-que wall.

Palm Trees make some great stuff.

I have been having fun with the droppings from our palm trees. They are very east to work with and I love the texture. Here is my new nativity stable with the bottom Of a palm fron for the roof. I love it.

Just Beee nice.

Can you imagine me being alergic to bees would go off and create a huge bee.
The Yellow one will become the bee. Sanded and buffed, painted with its bace coat of color.

Painting the faces is the fun part.I am not sure that bees are all that cute in the face but this is a bee in MY world.

The start of the building of wings. Wings make the difference between being just a bug and a bee.

Adding screen to the hanger wire of the wings give them the wing look. I am really likeing the idea of wire sculpture.

finished, I drill another hole in the bottom to make my bee sit on the top of a copper pipe painted green to blend in with the plants and to give my bee the look of flight.

Roger Rabbit

I was leaving work and found this little guy in the parking lot. Him and his friend were sitting in a parking space looking lost. I walked over to tham and his friend took a few hops and was gone. I bent over and said to him are you ok little fellow? he turned and to two little steps toward my shoe. I picked him up and took him home. stoped at the local pet store got some rabbit food and hay, went home and put him in an old fish tank. World meet Roger Rabbit.

he is just a little guy but he was up and about in just 3 or 4 days. Now Rod is ready for the world I think. He has become very active and I don't want to keep him in the house. So I built him a little lean two with a palm roof.

It is primitive but I think he will like it. I found a spot out back that I would like if I were a rabbit and with the left over hay I think he will be happy. He will choose if he wants to stay or not.

The back yard is home to many wild life that come and go. I am just an observer.

Lets build a bird house.

What is in a bird house? Lets make one. Lets see.... Now I have some metal pieces, door knobs, drawer pulls, springs, handles, glass things, nuts and bolts.

Small amount of paint to white wash with and a little shingle materials that can be cut into any kind of shapes.

Hardware of all kinds hinges, metal rings, electrical odds and ends of all types. Make a one of a kind look.



Oh my this can go on and on. Oh what fun it is to build a house.

A bell and a coat hanger wire and you have a place for a bird to land and to ring the door bell at the same time.

Here Birdie Birdie

Bird houses have sure come a long way since I was a kid. It use to be just the little square house style.
Now this is in a bird style. Bits and pieces of metal and odds and ends of all kinds.



Have fun your imagination is the only limit there is.
