Feel'in "all" Right

Jim Healy, contributor | March 11th, 200930 comments

This is what you build when you have more “all Buckets” than you know what to do with. I hand painted the plywood top to match an original lid. Then the paint was slightly aged to...

Jim (Junk Architect) you've inspired me! Here’s a neat little lamp project I put together using an old car/truck headlamp, a rusty round thing and a cool stand I bought at Geo's store.

A galvanized Funnel and a dismantled Hose Reel pair up to form an industrial lamp. To really give it a factory appearance the cord is a section of BX electrical cable and the plug is from a washing...

Play the Music, Not the Instrument

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 17th, 200916 comments

Well, I must admit the Piano Paper Roll JMS Challenge, was just that, a serious challenge for me! First of all, I’m not sure if you’ve ever worked with these bits of paper fun, but they are very brittle and tear easily – plus, I rarely incorporate paper into my art, so this project had me stumped. Then, on top of that, my rolls weren't in English but Lithuanian(!) so I couldn’t pull a design theme from words in the music. Hmmm – what was a girl to do?

"Old School Argyle" Night/End/Occassional Table

WhatKnots, member | February 16th, 200910 comments

This little table begged for a strong design, so I felt that good old Argyle would fit the bill wonderfully. The pattern is done in 4 versions, flowing nicely together at the edges. I will hate to...

"To receive everything, one must open one's hands and give."

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 16th, 20095 comments

I love this quote and feel the vintage glove forms carry the message really well. They are attached to an old piece of galvanized metal and I used my vintage typewriter to type the message on an old clay coated flash card.

Push Lawnmower Lamp

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | February 15th, 200926 comments

I've decided to re-junkify my office at work and will be posting a series of photos so you can join me along the way.... Here's my first real "junking" piece - a push lawnmower lamp I made with my father over 10 years ago. I decided it would look good up against my blue wall shining on the metal "GATHER". It is sitting on an old hospital gurney but that's for another post...

Wall Piece

junqtiquer2u, member | February 13th, 20094 comments

Found a mirrored "window" for $1.00, a wood shelf for 75 cents, and some discarded shutters in a dumpster. I put it all together and it made a wonderful, unique wall piece! It was so easy...
