Rusty metal

When I spotted a birdcage at the scrap yard some months ago, I didn’t want to show my excitement but I was surely thrilled. Sometimes the business owners put a firm price on certain items but the birdcage was sold for the scrap value at about 1.50$. It’s perfect for seasonal decorations.

We visited there one Sunday morning in May 2010 on the way back to San Francisco. We walked around town and checked out several galleries - but we spent most of our time at the Mendocino Art Center - really interesting stuff there. Definitely a place to go back again and spend more time!

Earlier in the week I shared with you a trio of pallet wood and junk hearts and today I have another heart project for you with even more pallet wood and even more junk.
