Someone had off-loaded a couple miniature hobby planes yesterday...both planes being in a severely broken condition. Since I'm a big fan of using various kinds of "hardware" in my assemblage work, I decided to pull out the small engines with the propellers still intact. Again, these are examples of more of the kinds of things that I'm finding at the dump...the kinds of things that I've never actually been able to find to use in any of my work in the past, which, of course is basically what this gleaning program seems to be all about.
Speaking of hardware, I also found (hidden under a couple old mattresses) several tools designed for climbers. This is a sport that I know nothing about, so I'm not exactly sure how these things are used. I grabbed several of them for consideration in an assemblage piece. I did find a long piece of "climbers rope" last week (gave it to another artist), and the guy who left it advised me not to be using it for any further climbing activities (not to worry!!).
