Stylized bird of welded metal.  Solid metal.  Virtually all of the material is from my local scrap metal yard.  A great deal of cutting and fitting of the individual pieces is required.  All of this work requires significant time.

I try to pay homage to the material.  Most often the original material was rusted to some degree, sometimes more than others.  I work hard to keep the original rust patina.   If the original material was painted, I try to keep it.  It is not always possible.  All of the pits, dings, dents, scrapes and scratches add to the character of the piece.
