Inexpensive patio art from scrap

[marubadu]

I was looking to add some art to my patio so I posted on a local facebook group looking for free bikes for my project and had a few responses. The video is what I did with those free bikes. Total cost $30.

These would look good in bright colors as well. I could also see a few of them mounted on a long stretch of fence.

Very cool.

Little girl next door lost her best pet. She got Willie a turkey as a freebie from purchase of 100 baby chicks. Willie was born with a crossed over beak and one eye only partially developed. Had issues trying to eat and walked like Billie Bob after a quart of Jack. In spite of his situation he would cuddle with her and beat the **** out of any rooster that threatened her.
I think he made it to six years and died from a bad infected sore. She invited us to his eulogy and service. Three hours before she came home from school and time for the service I decided he and she needed a grave marker.
I'm not particularly talented in the art Dept. But I do have a lot of Chevy and Subaru parts which came together mostly of their own volition. Over 60 people showed up for his service.

Something satisfying about repurposing old junk.

LOL! I currently have a stack of old brake rotors and trying to think what I can do with them.

I like the flat black color, but the lights don't do it justice. Maybe a small flood or spot light on it.
