This weekend's theme:

~ 'what is it?' junk ~



I have this funny little red doodad that I found when I went junk'in at a welder's back 40.



I thought maybe I'd make a towel bar out of it one day until I decided to mount it on my signature wall in my work area. Oh right.. I haven't shown you that yet either, have I? :)

 

 This area is located in my 'sign shop' downstairs. The signatures are from a great group of sign folk friends that came by for a workshop I was a part of. I asked them to sign my wall as a wonderful memory maker AND something cool to look at. :)

(I'll do a full reveal of the room when it's clean complete)

So what did I end up using this strange rusty red artifact for anyway?

It's a tape dispenser tool holder.

  

With loads of junk style. :)

So, anyone know what it actually is?!?

Here are a couple others I shared during round one of SNS # 66 What is it? junk #1

That's what I love about weird junk. Your imagination is the only rule maker to go by.

Have you decorated with an 'I have no idea what it is' junk object? Please share it in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

this weekend's theme

~ What is it? ~

Ok, so you know I got a new camera yesterday, right? I'll put (nc) beside the new camera pictures because I know you'll be curious over the next little while.

I'm always picking up weird stuff. And what makes me enjoy certain finds even more is having NO idea what they are.



Kinda like these guys. What is this stuff?!? Eh.. who cares. It was galvanized and kinda cool. And naturally I had NO idea what to do with it on collecting day.

 So then I start playing. Hmmm... it bends and holds it's shape... could it hold something? How?

Say, maybe if I connected it behind this old crate sign I've had forever... ok, now what will it's purpose be?

How about holding mail? I like it! (nc)

I needed it too! And it blends right in with the crate stairway and wacky artifacts on the wall.  (nc)

Let's try one more.



What's this crazy thing?!? No idea. But it's pretty big.

And then it came to me. This one's for Kolein. :) She one time said I had the ability to stick a rusty something into the wall and make it sing as a toilet paper holder, so....

Oh.. so perfect! Hee! (nc)

So have I convinced you that you too can make nearly anything into a useful houseold must have? Good! Now go forth and then come on back and link up what you came up with in the 3rd themed linkup!

What's your weirdest find to date?
