Outdoor Sculpture Of Found Railroad Steel
i still need a stick welder to get this going… but I am planning to weld found steel and railroad spikes together to create a large outdoor sculpture for our local park. I am undecided on the final subject matter… either a horse or a live oak tree are my inspirations in representing our community. I am also going to be collecting more materials this summer as I hike, this will be a heavy piece when it is done. Any pointers are welcome and I will be needing to learn basic stick welding.

AspensArt is what I call my shop. I am a native Floridian artist, with roots in Sarasota, as well as Central Florida. I enjoy creating tribal totems in ink. I also create tattoo designs, woodburning (pyrography), sculpture, painting, mural, gemstone and beaded jewelry, repurposed and salvaged items, patchwork clothing, and so much more. My creative ability seems to be limited only by my having the right tools or not.
