“One person’s junk is another person’s treasure.” There are lots of junk artists in the world. But they all have one thing in common: they see robots, flying machines and winged horses where we see rusty bolts, tarnished cutlery and old cigar boxes. The key to being an artist–any kind of artist, it seems–is to see what others cannot, and then reveal it to them.

Awesome, post, a rejection can mean a redirection
So very good and timely! Thank you for sharing this.
My pleasure, Melissa.
Great post Mitch. I enjoyed seeing all the art work in the photos. Have a blessed day.
You too, Mags.
These are amazing!
Clever creations! Here’s another interesting quote: “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.” It’s no surprise that Thomas A. Edison said this.

These are amazing creations. The running faucets crack me up!
And you got the pun, Priscilla!
You find the most unique and interesting pics! Captivating!
Cool! I once saw a Christmas tree made out of tools! I posted it online and a friend went to the store to buy it for her husband who restores cars and makes hot rods.
The perfect gift!
Cool photos and interesting quotes 🙂
Your post made me pause! interesting! I saw wings in the rust, quiet, triumphant
This reminds me: I have some 2nd-hand pliers I’d love to give to anyone who wants to see if they can make them work! Blessings on your weekend.
;>) Thanks, Rene, you too!

Mitch, I like that you always find and end and relate it with a Bible verse.
The pictures and topic may appear silly but they hold more depth and truth.

What an amazing collection. But the taps running….. should be tap dancing!
