Re-use and re-purpose are hot topics in today's culture. I love the concept and principle of using items over again and giving them a new "purposeful life." One of my friends is doing that exact thing, however she is making art!
From the tin of old barns artisan Jennifer Rouston of Metal Girl is creating one-of-kind pieces for the home and lawn. She has been creating these pieces of art for only year, but she is already in high demand! Folks are going wild over her hand-painted designs.
After a shape and size is determined by Jennifer and/or her customer; she then gets out her paint and brushes. Vivid colors, stripes and polka-dots are diligently hand-painted onto what some would consider as simply an old piece of metal. Suddenly a design unfolds and a unique, fun inspired piece is created!
I love her whimsical designs and aesthetics. It is amazing to see a piece of old discarded tin made into a piece of art that everyone enjoys!
Please have a look at the following pictures and be inspired. If you would like to inquire with Jennifer regarding her creations for your home decor or yard please contact her at jen.metalgirl@yahoo.com.
