Rust is Beautiful
With the warm spring weather, I've been out doing a little yard work. Looking around out there, I started to think how lucky I am to have such amazing junk everywhere I look. Some people might not think of that as lucky, but they probably don't have the caliber of junk that I have.
The Grinding Wheel
The most ordinary, utilitarian tool can be a thing of beauty. I love this old grinding wheel. It was made out of an old wagon wheel; it was originally run by pedal power, but when electricity became widely available, an electric motor was added.
Biker Centerpiece
When I was planning a party, a friend of mine made this creative centerpiece out of an old motorcycle gas tank. She has amazing ideas, and even more cool junk at her house than I do at mine.
Hanging Planter Made from Motorcycle Fenders
The same amazing lady who made the above centerpiece also created this hanging planter from motorcycle fenders. She's a true motorcycle enthusiast and a very imaginative lady. She designed and built this thing herself, and gave it to me for my birthday.
