I AM A MISSOURI BORN BUT LIFETIME RESIDENT OF TEXAS. MY GRANDFATHER IS A KNOW FOLK ARTIST THAT REALLY COMMUNICATED THRU THE PAINTING OF SIGNS. HE WROTE WHAT HE THOUGHT ON OLE CLAPBOARDS, TUBS, YOU NAME IT, IF HE HAD SOMETHING TO SAY HE FOUND SOMETHING TO SAY IT ON. HIS NAME IS JESSE HOWARD OF FULTON MISSOURI, JUST GOOGLE HIM.
MY AUNT, HIS DAUGHTER, IS 84 YRS OF AGE AND IN A NURSING HOME IN AZ. SHE IS A WATERCOLOR ARTIST AND MADE MANY THINGS FROM JUNK, WHICH I CAN NOW CALL JUNKART. I TOO HAVE A SIMILAR RESPECT FOR THE ART OF JUNKING, SEEMS EVERYDAY THAT I CAN I FIND SOMETHING TO DO OUTSIDE, OR CREATE WITH JUNK, AS YOU SAY.I TRY NOT TO SCARE ANY OF MY 16 GRANDCHILDREN BY PUTTING TO MUCH STUFF OUT BUT I DO WHEN I FIND SOMETHING APPROPRIATE. WHEN I FOUND THIS WEB SITE I WAS SO EXCITED AND AFTER SEEING THE CHOICE OF PROFILE IMAGES FOR MY IDENITY, I IMMEDIATELY REMEMBERED THE OLE NUTS AND BOLTS MAN THAT MY AUNT CREATED MANY MANY MOONS AGO. IT HAS BEEN EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND FINALLY GIVEN TO ME TO TAKE CARE OF. I KEEP HIM BY THE DOOR TO GREET EVERYONE WHO WALKS IN.I LOVE HIM!!!! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT THESE THINGS AND NOW I CAN SEE IM NOT ALONE. I JUST HAD TO QUICKLY UPLOAD A PIC OF HIM TO USE AS MY PROFILE IMAGE AND SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU. I FIND THE SIMULARITY UNCANNY. SORRY I DIDN'T GET A BETTER PIC.

Re: Help!!! Ideas Needed
Hi Gretchan, I agree with everything Lani suggested. Just wish it were mine. Would be great for outdoor serving display. If to big for top of coffee table, why not put it under the table with the magazines or rolled up blanket.

Re: My Shabby Chic bathroom remodel in the works .......
THANK YOU FOR THE LOVELY REMARKS. IT IS A COZY SETTING AND WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE IS THE, NOT SO SHABBY, FLAT SCREEN TV I WON AT A WOMENS FORUM IN HILLSBORO TEXAS. IT DOESN'T FIT THE DECOR BUT IT SURE IS NICE TO TAKE MY TIME SOAKING AND WATCHING MY FAVORITE SHABBY CHIC SHOWS. BY THE WAY, DO YOU MISS THE SHOW"SHABBY CHIC" AS MUCH AS I DO. I LOVE THE ANTIQUE ALLY SHOWS AND WISH I COULD GO ALONG FOR THE RIDES. LOVE THIS SITE, I JUST HAPPENED UPON IT AND IT FITS ME TO A TEA. YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Re: HELP!
Hi, Looks like good junk to me. I can see eyes, hand mouth to make a metalman, and the wheel could easily become a clock. Brushes would make a good turkey tail. Just let your imagination run wild. I believe so many of you think as I do, that is why we are into junk art, right?
