Adding a Whimsical Creature made from recycled constituents is a outstanding way to grow your outdoor art garden! Many backyard gardeners are very eco-friendly people. They fundamentally do not like to waste anything. They take delight in ‘the hunt’ while they look for other people’s discards so they may comprise them into their own yard decor. They will on occasion even recycle their old scrawny/last season plants and flowers to a less visual spot in their garden in order to keep away from destructing a bit of Mother Nature. Recycled metal art is a reflectivity of the artist’s personality and ingenuity and is fixed only by their imagination. What may be trash to you or me is brought to life again in the hands of these eco-artists. My Favorite Artist One artist, my brother Jay, made a lot of impressive pieces of yard art from recycled yard tools, bicycle parts, automati constituents and other discarded junk left at the curb by his neighbors. By combining these castoffs and other so-called junk, he invented yard art with moving parts, little and big sculptures, flying insects, and stately (sometimes scary) lawn creatures. He once in a while applied discarded tanks and drums to make his metal yard decor. He might paint them bright colors or leave them in their rustic state. He covered his outside gas meter with an old metal milk may with cutouts for the dials. His critters included dogs, flying insects and creatures, tall sculptures, funny animals and other happy greeters along walkways and garden paths. His bird houses, fences, shelves and replica ‘outhouse’ (including the half-moon) were all made from recycled wood and other discarded items. An old rusted garden tractor became the centerpiece of a flower garden with a sprinkler attached to one of the cutting blades. What About Making Your Own Friend? Another distinguishable creation of brother was his own version of a Tom Hanks’ friend from the film Castaway – except this special friend has 8 arms and stands 4 feet tall! Each of his creations are always seen differently in the eyes of each new visitor to his yard. “It’s a flying mosquito!” “No, it’s a space robot!” My brother would just smile and recognise that he had won again as no two humans saw his creations through the same perspective or vision. No one ever knew what prompted the new creature in my brother’s bright imagination but each metal art creature took its’ own particular place standing in a flower garden or hanging from a tree. Make This a Family Project I commend that your whole family get involved in gathering the recycled elements and settling how to put them together. Maybe it will become a free-form sculpture? Maybe a whimsical creature? Maybe a broken pot half buried in the ground. No matter what you decide, you’ll have a large total of fun and will get a large total of remarks from visitors telling you how smart you were to recycle. There are now so a good deal of eco-artists who are using discarded bike parts that it has become a genre of it is own. With spokes and wheels, nuts and bolts and gears, a cycle may be the idealisti raw material for recycled metal art. Just recently, I saw a recycled bicycle wheel converted into a ferris wheel bird feeder! What a outstanding project for a family. Rustic Art A huge part of the appeal of recycled metal yard art is the weathered and occasionally rustic look of the respective pieces. Rusted metal has an earthy, natural look and mixes with the garden rather than making a piercing statement. Hence a great deal of gardeners undertake to find pre-rusted metals that they may use in their yard art. Adding a good deal of recycled metal art to your yard is a outstanding way to grow your outdoor art garden. The imagination of the artists working with recycled metal has always impressed me – but I will always love my brother’s yard art the best! Is it art yet? YES, now go enjoy. |
