Recycled Art ~ Funky "Junk" Faces Using Recycled and Repurposed Materials

This is a collection of "funky junk" faces I made years and years ago.

Sorry for the pre-digital camera blurry pics!

They all started with drawer pieces or cabinet fronts and I added wire, wood, paint, rusty metal, forks, hinges, washers....you name it, it's in there.

This guy has a latch hook for his goatee, a hinge mouth and part of 

a wooden cross for his nose...

His eyes are a scrap of decorative molding with a woodworker's biscuit joiner

on top of that. He has spring eyebrows and plastic coated wire hair.

A feminine version painted in green with purple dots, a scrap of molding for

her big, pink lips and a metal flower with chopsticks holding her wire hair in place.

I gave her long metal lashes with scraps of quarter round molding for her eyes,

and little washers painted in pink for her cheeks.

Another funky guy with drawer handles for his ears and 

scraps of molding for his polka dot lips...

His eyes are wooden finial feet and the dovetail part of a drawer for

his eyebrows.

This last one has a big hinge nose that I painted yellow, rusty star eyes with 

copper plumbing strap eyebrows and forks for the spiky hair

Thanks so much for checking out my funky faces!
