Brass Bowl

Here is something that I have been working on for a couple of years. It is not complete. I don’t think it will ever be “complete”, but at some point it will be done. I call it my staple sculpture. I have a auto parts bowl with a magnet on the bottom. Mechanics will recognize this immediately. You put bolts and such in this as you work on a vehicle, and it keeps all the little bits in one place.

Well, I bought it, I used it for what it was intended (new cylinder head on my truck), and then it sat on my bench. Given my propensity to utilize things in a manner that they were not originally intended, I took it to work, and started to drop the staples that I pulled from documents.

It grew. I have seen others at one of my previous cube sentences, and they were simply astounding. If you have a staple sculpture you would like to share, send it to brassbowl@hotmail.com. Be sure to include whatever name you want me to credit it to, along with any other info.
