1. It’s too bad the fellow who crafted these sculptures isn’t a REAL artist, since he clearly has no grasp of wrapping yarn around his head and posting the video online for us plebes to ooh-and-ahh over.
   But seriously, his sculptures — especially the horses — are quite beautiful.

2. Making metal sculptures from scrap is a thing, and it is true art, at least in the case of the works depicted at the link.
   In the town of Likely, B.C., there is a statue of a man named Jack Van Diest, who was an auto mechanic, and the statue is welded up out of used auto parts and old tools. I knew Jack, and the statue is a good likeness.

3. Don’t know if scrap metal was used, but there are some cool horses by the old courthouse in downtown Calgary that – when looked at closely, have all sorts of barnyard critters and other images attached.

4. I recognize numerous components of this fellow’s art from my own private junk pile. His endeavours tend to amaze and inspire; sadly, mine, well …generate remarks of derision and many rude comments.

5. That fellow is an artist. Just like our blog hostess is.

6. Yes, that is pretty darned amazing.

7. Magnificent.
   I am cured of recycling anything.

8. Why can’t we get public art like this?
   I would like to see this in front of a building instead of much of the post modern art? For example:

9. Or you can build your very own John Deere Car.

10. They are beautiful works of art
