I hate to see anything go to waste, and as an artist, I'm always looking for new and inexpensive materials to use in my creations. Here is a series of bird sculptures that show how recycled art can come to life!

I have used a lot of scrap metal, rusty saw blades, and farm tools -and my newest Raven creation is made from trashed bicycle tires!
