Rusted Metal Skull

JO made "a skull cut with a blow torch from sheet metal..just for kicks."

I'm always impressed with anyone that makes art from metal and uses a blow torch. It's a dangerous art form, but the results are well worth the risk. I like the use of rusted metal. I could imagine digging this up in a back yard mud pie making spree of my childhood. We dug up other rusted objects, so why not a rusted skull. That would be a really impressive find.

183. Bottle Cap Skull

Bottle Cap Cut with Dremel Tool. I don't remember where/when I picked up this bottle cap, but it was already in this shape when I found it!

85. Found Bottle Skull

Arranged and Cut Found Crushed Plastic Soda Bottle, Bottle Caps, Soda Can Tab. I found the bottle in the parking lot of a local art gallery recently and the other pieces on my bike ride through town today. I am constantly amazed at the things I'm willing to touch in the name of making skulls.

78. Sheet Metal Skull

1 piece of cut & folded 24 gauge sheet steel (folded size approx 6" x 9" x 4"). An extra huge thanks goes to Philip who let me use his workshop and materials, gave advice on how to accomplish this piece, and welded the seams for me!

11. Found Metal Skull

Found metal. Inspired by the largest piece, which I found while bicycling down Lombardy St. to a breakfast meeting the other day. I found the jaw piece on the way back. Thanks to Chuck for providing access to his rusted metal collection for the mouth.
