What is on my work table now.....

 The two of these are works in progress.  They are assemblages using antique car parts and odds and ends that I have found around our property and gathered when I am out and about.  For those that look at these and collect Model A and Model T parts you will recognize the base of the body as a Model A piston and the rod coming out of the body as the connecting rod.  Everything that is put on the base is wired onto it.
 I have no idea what the face is I just really liked the look of it.  And since most of this has been sitting outside the rust is real.  The patina on the spring is the way I found it.  The very top is the top of a decanter.  They don't have names yet as they have not come alive and told me who they are yet.
 This guy is coming along very well.  His mouth is a found seed pod.  Jerry and I were in San Luis Obispo and under a tree were a lot of seed pods.  Needless to say I gathered a bunch of them and now cannot remember for the life of me just where I put the others.  Oh well, they will turn up eventually.
 A closer look of the face shows tiny lights for eyes and a closer look of the seed pod mouth

 I think that the side view really shows the mouth off better.
 And an antique broken door handle as part of the body.  I will show more as they progress!
