Vince Full image right side_edited_edite

I used 2 small garden trowels
for the top and bottom of the head. Iremove the wooden handles. You can see the exposed metal rods that are inside.
Fangs are the tines of forks. You can see 
the fork handles.

I attached a silver fork on the top of his head and a tiger eye marble so he could see. On top of his head I attached a section of a mouse part to round out his head.

I found a small vacuum in a recycle can.
I used this as the body and neck . It's balanced on the old wood using  old garden hand rakes bent to form claws.

You can see the vacuum with the head attached. His "horns" are parts of an old Ford Mustang.

Put together, the small garden trowels (top and bottom jaws),, forks and part of a toy for a tongue, completes the head!

Details of the body, covered over the vacuum with "Leaves" representing dragon feathers or scales, , were from a metal fruit bowl. The small, gold, outlined scales came from vegetable stainers, taken apart and individually screwed to the bodt in a special pattern!

Dragon Tail one  hinge attached_edited.j

I found an old ice saw, removed the wooden handle, and cut it in sections for his tail. I wanted it to move and bend so I drilled holes in each section and attached brass hinges to all the sections.

Here, you can see all the finished sections of the ice saw.
On the right, I've attached the tail with screws.

A Day at the Park with Dad

$1,100.00

Dad and his son are finally getting some time to go to the park to play a little baseball. Dad carries the ball and son has a great bat!  It's going to be a wonderful afternoon!

Each one is made with a variety of odds and ends so you'll have to look closely to see them all.

Dad's head is made with a coffee creamer cup, upside down, and he is equipt with plenty of antennas (held together with a scrub brush!) to keep in touch with whatever is happening . His glasses are made with a jewelery locket, opened to cover both eyes, and some crazy zig zag bows to hold them on. His mouth is a zipper and he's always smiling when he's with his son!
