I do so love the fall season. Doesn't the sound of Autumn conjure up a multitude of wondrous colors? Of course, all of them are my favorites! Plus, the chill in the air makes drinking hot chocolate an absolute pleasure. *Sigh*
Farmerboy has harvested his Indian corn. It is always a thrill to pull back the husks to find a colorful surprise. :) When these mini beauties cease to be decorations, they are also able to be used for popcorn. How's that for recycling? ;)
As you all know, Farmerboy collects vintage farm implements. He broke a cutter bar over the summer and decided to recycle it into some bug art! ;) Here is his latest welded creation. He is made from a single tooth from the bar, along with a bolt, nails and some odds & ends. I am just captivated by this little guy. Farmerboy hasn't noticed him missing from the table where he left him, yet!
I stole him! He wandered out from my studio area for these photos. Don't tell Farmerboy that I have him... ;)

I like seeing farm equipment made into something like your bug. My pap made things like this. After his death I bought a black crow he made out of a broken shovel head and some chairs made from tractor seats and discs. I hope you get to keep the bug.
Recycling is so great. Combine that with making a piece from machinery that can live with people in their house... Priceless! :)
