1:12 scale dumpster

I made this dumpster for the back alley of my flower shop. I modeled it after the one outside the bar where I worked.  Except for the name/phone number it looks exactly like it, rusty, sloppy welds, same color.  I made it from metal. The lid opens/closes and the wheels, made from polymer clay, turn and swivel. It was so fun to make, and then I had to fill it with trash! Don't know which was more fun, making it or filling it. I also made the folding step ladder. It is functional, made from wood, modeled after the one in my basement.

My new blog

What better way to start a new blog than with a double rainbow! (just to the left is the second one, look close) It occurred this afternoon.
