Here is the "menopausal woman" I welded.  She has some serious attitude and can go from cold to hot in a "flash".  LOL  Her body was made from some cannister that I picked up at the metal salvage yard and her mood gauge is from a shower assembly.  The skirt is an old tennis or golf ball basket, her feet are hinges and her legs and arms are made from pipe from the salvage yard.  Her ankle bracelets are old springs.  Her hair is the springs from an old car seat.  She's about 4 1/2 feet tall but don't let her size fool you.  Her hands on her hips let you know she means business.

I buy the hollow metal hemispheres. I just decide what size I need and of course you have to buy 2 and then weld them together. If you decide to buy you might want to get several at a time because the shipping is rather expensive for just ordering 1 set. I've also used other "found" items. I used one of those old kerosene flares that they used to put in the road to show road construction. I just turned it upside down and then put a hat on her. I've also used some stainless steel floats that my husband got in the oilfield. Just use your imagination and I'm sure you can come up with something. Good luck and post some pics after you get a project finished.

shabbychick writes: Christy, Christy, Christy...we have a spokeswoman!!! She is so cool (or hot - depending on the moment, right??)! I love her.

You've done another awesome job doing your welding thing!! And, you can see - there are a few of us who are envious of your skill/gift!!!

Thanks for sharing - she made me laugh!!!

csudderth writes: Thanks for all the comments, everyone. I figured most of us could relate to this gal. My daughter wants to know what I'm going to do with her and I told her I might just have to keep her. She makes me smile and I had fun making her.

Snowmanhill--take your Dad up on his offer to teach you to weld. You'll get to spend quality time with your Dad and learn a new skill to boot.

CottageElements writes: Christy, she is truly wonderful! Love it! A bunch of us junkers were just at an antique store and spent a good amount of time talking about hot flashes! She would have fit right in with the conversation! LOL!

As one of those ladies who can go from 0 to 600 degrees in about 2 minutes, I can really relate to this fine lady. Seeing all the great things you made is one of the reasons I joined JunkMarket. I love her!
