#5 Turkey Vulture Sculpture That I Made With Vintage Typewriters

My name is Ricky. I’m a metal sculptor who uses repurposed metal to create art. I wanted to share with you guys this vulture that I welded together using some vintage broken typewriter parts, along with an old calculating machine and some other scrap metal. I put over 80 hours into this piece and im pretty pleased with the way it came out.

#7 Made A Cat House, That Looks Like My Cat

It’s made out of 3mm sheet steel and out of a paper craft design. My cats run up the inside of it. One normally climbs up the tree, and the other goes in through the bottom leg and goes up inside the head and tries to push the other off. Cats are great.

#12 A Bust Carving In Basswood (Based On My Wife)

It doesn’t really look like her in the end… but that’s ok! I’m still happy with it. My goal was to carve my most “lifelike” piece yet, and I think it probably is that. Having a live model is so helpful, even if your carving doesn’t resemble the model that much, it will probably help your work.
