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. ;)

Ha! Thanks - nothing creepy about them in real life! :D (well except for the pig portrait on the metal pole stand has a 'Lord of the Flies' vibe to it! :D

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.

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

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!

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

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.
