   I really felt like making some birds this week to have some fun, my smaller more affordable versions in cages. Also got the weather vane finished, turned out very cool, pics in 2 weeks after client has picked up. Using found ball bearings and cutlery, screws, and nails I fashioned some mini versions of my birds, placed then in birdcages I had. Some are welded onto little wire branches and have attached chain to the top for hanging. Also welded up some popular garden stakes using rings to make  sphere added a little formed bird into the centre, and welded that onto stakes. to stick into the ground. Welded up one of my signature ocean arches fro this weekends show in Sooke, by the ocean, complete with salmon, star fish, and a sea horse.
   Metal pick up happened this week too, I drop everything when I get scrap metal calls from certain people knowing there will be great usable pieces in there for me, it's kind like Christmas!
