The last fall Dahlia
Sooner or late we all have to "get organized".
Happy Fall Organizing
I live in the Northwest "Rainforest", I feel this greatly influences my mind and work. Welding, Quilting, Botanically inspired Art. Playing with textile paint, rust, vintage anything! I try to keep my art unique and close to the things I enjoy working with.

Saturday 28th 10-6 & Sunday 29th 10-5
Rain or shine! But let's hope for sun.
Here is a preview of the things I've been working on.
Hope to see you all this weekend
Spring cleaning a few seasons too late. A busy Spring and Summer of making Art, has kept me busy making messes instead of cleaning up.
It is time to make a trip to the scrap metal yards, to seek out some useful metal parts. I need some boring basics like rebar, springs, shovels.
But I might also find some treasures I cannot live with out, on my wish list are old animal traps, old drill bits, gear rings and some squiggly things! If I find any I'll share a picture.
So going shopping means cleaning out junk or parts I will never use. I have a pretty good feel for what I can safely throw away after this many years. But there are something I have been hanging on to from the very start. When I start cleaning and filling the truck full of metal junk I have to keep reminding myself that basically I'm "trading" scrap metal for art supplies.
My favorite heavy hammer helps in the un-assembling of old farm equipment.
I have a lot of new Metal Hearts to share.
The arrow is made from a Electric Fence post (I think)
Just a small sample of the new hearts.
And a new herd of snails.
See you Saturday.
I am now on Instagram, if you'd like to check out the rest of the new hearts #kathisgardenart , #metalheart ,#recycledmetalart
