Thank you - and yes, I do fight with some pieces. Either the rust is heavy or it's cast iron - but I'll just make it work if the piece 'needs' to be there! :D You can view more on my website: www.CindyChinn.com - I do a lot of different things. ;)

Cool stuff

I Make "Barnyard Portraits" From Scrap Metal I Find On Farms

You are insanely talented! My mind is completely blown! I have never seen pencil carvings before and I couldn't believe that would even be possible. Your saw cuttings/carvings are beautiful! I have seen some before but yours puts them to shame. You are truly an artist in all mediums.

You definitely win the fight with the metal. I will check out your website shortly!

I Make "Barnyard Portraits" From Scrap Metal I Find On Farms

I absolutely love them. All of them are so creative and perfect. I don't know how you do this because metal can't be easy to work with, especially rusted metal. You nailed it! Please share more of your creations! Love it!

These are amazing! Honestly I would buy one if I could. But then again, they kind of creep me out. I don't know why but I am kind of scared of them. I would totally hang one up in my home though.
