When tools get old and rusty they end up sitting in the back of our garage or tool shed for years before they're thrown out like trash, but where some see rust and decay artist Cindy Chinn sees character.
So Cindy uses these discarded old tools as an artistic medium, using a plasma torch to hand cut fun winter scenes into rusty shovel heads and a little light welding to put the whole scene together.
Cindy's tool-based sculptures aren't limited to snow shovel heads, she's also known for creating artwork out of saw blades, rakes and trowel heads, and the scenes on each one match the medium.
But seeing as how it's winter, and some people are becoming mighty tired of clearing snow right about now, these wintery snow shovel scenes seems like the most appropriate series for the season!
