I Use Rusty Objects To Make A Brood Of “Wine Chicks”

ADVERTISEMENT

After spending a couple of years working with mostly hand saws (as seen on Bored Panda!). I decided take some of the metal parts & pieces that I have been collecting to make some fun characters for an upcoming show in a Wine & Art Tent.

I come from a family of Wine Connoisseurs … and I always think, those Crazy Wine Chicks! They show up at all of the family gatherings, you know who I’m talking about… you might be have a few in your family or you might be one of them!?

I like making functional art and I wanted to make something wine related. I have a few souvenir wine glasses or a special bottle of wine that I want to keep for the memories (or because my artwork is on the label!). So I decided to make something that would hang on the wall and to hold a glass or a bottle… then my Crazy Wine Lovin’ Aunts came to mind! And that is how the Wine Chicks were born!

Each one is unique and has its own personality. Some are modeled after friends & family and some are just crazy people that I have seen at the various Art Shows that I have been in… and if you have ever been to an Artist Reception, you will recognize some of them here!

I can spend up to a few hours making each one, picking just the right parts to bring out their individual personalities. I also spend endless hours searching for rusty tools and parts. Even finding old horseshoes (the base of each one) is getting harder each year!

I’ve also made a number of “Bottle Cocks” for holding wine bottles! And make for a fun pairing of the two.
