Scarp Art from the past
What do you do when you clean out the Junk piling up at the attic ? – Well – you make a helicopter
This is the basic shape that lead me to visualize the chopper , the big Oil Can
The rest of accessories ( below ) that I collected , which many would be stripped down or even cut up to suit the fixtures that would go in the giving it the shape I wanted
The tools : ( binding as well as finishing ones )
Fastening the major parts in to shape
Taking shape
More accessories for the landing skid, blades and and the stand still motor
Landing Skid
Tail fan

Wonderful! Where would you say that you draw most of your inspiration from? I really love the idea of re purposed items that come together to make art. Well done, friend!
Also, please end me your mailing address, and I will send a postcard! My email is missyjean@netscape.net
Glad you liked it , hmmm did you mean where do I get the idea to turn scrap in to art ? Or take inspiration from like a person or site ? As a child I’d played with a lot of lego building blocks , where I’d mix and match materials from different sets to make separate new things .
