Feel'in "all" Right

Jim Healy, contributor | March 11th, 200930 comments

This is what you build when you have more “all Buckets” than you know what to do with. I hand painted the plywood top to match an original lid. Then the paint was slightly aged to...

Do you see what I see?????

This junking community is truly a bunch of unique creative individuals. I have all my metal junk stacked (I use that word very loosely) behind my shop. It had really become an eyesore and...

A galvanized Funnel and a dismantled Hose Reel pair up to form an industrial lamp. To really give it a factory appearance the cord is a section of BX electrical cable and the plug is from a washing...

Can you tell what these are?

alicemom, member | February 22nd, 200910 comments

I found the metal fan blade holders at my local flea market. I just loved them. But what to do with them? Turn them upside down & have great towel holders. They are dated 1898.

Play the Music, Not the Instrument

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 17th, 200916 comments

Well, I must admit the Piano Paper Roll JMS Challenge, was just that, a serious challenge for me! First of all, I’m not sure if you’ve ever worked with these bits of paper fun, but they are very brittle and tear easily – plus, I rarely incorporate paper into my art, so this project had me stumped. Then, on top of that, my rolls weren't in English but Lithuanian(!) so I couldn’t pull a design theme from words in the music. Hmmm – what was a girl to do?

"To receive everything, one must open one's hands and give."

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 16th, 20095 comments

I love this quote and feel the vintage glove forms carry the message really well. They are attached to an old piece of galvanized metal and I used my vintage typewriter to type the message on an old clay coated flash card.

Push Lawnmower Lamp

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 15th, 200927 comments

I've decided to re-junkify my office at work and will be posting a series of photos so you can join me along the way.... Here's my first real "junking" piece - a push lawnmower lamp I made with my father over 10 years ago. I decided it would look good up against my blue wall shining on the metal "GATHER". It is sitting on an old hospital gurney but that's for another post...

Rusty Sprocket End Table

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 10th, 200914 comments

Here's a marriage made in rust heaven! I found this wonderful rusty sprocket wheel a couple months back as I was leaving the salvage yard (so glad I was there when I was) and had been eyeing the heavy blue stand at Geo's store for months and decided to put the two together and make a fantastic end table. And for those of you who remember my "haul" post back in November, this is the piece I used to make the instant outdoor table...

A grate idea?

Faeryhollow, member | February 9th, 200911 comments

My JH and I found these cast iron heating grates for less than $5.00 for all 4 at a Salvation Army thrift store in the Charleston, SC area several years ago. That is a wonderful area for finding...
