This was a great day for gleaning at the city dump. Saturdays, in general, seem to be the major day of the week that people want to off-load trash, although I've found some pretty nice artsy treasures on other days, too. There are five of us working on this art grant, gleaning for art materials, creating art with what we find, etc., and it just happened that four of us showed up to work today...something that has never happened before. It was a nice "reunion" of sorts, and nice to be able to chat with the other artists to see how they are coming along with their own individual gleanings and projects. It is also nice to be able to connect personally so that we can glean for each other...we all seem to be scavenging for different kinds of things.
This was another PIANO DAY (there have been three pianos so far)!! I found this upside down piano just as a large truck pulled away:

I asked one of the regular workers if she could lift this monster over to our work area (office) at the other end of the bay:
I had only an hour left to work on this beauty, so I got right to it. I do pack my own box of tools, so I come prepared for projects like this:
This is the piano after I finished pulling the parts from it:
A little sampling of what I took home with me:
I'm kinda' liking piano days ! I'm getting pretty good at pulling pianos apart. I wish that I had actually learned to play the piano as a kid!
