"A lot of my things are made of reused materials. Much of the steel used is scrap (although I almost HAVE to buy the nails new - cut nails are difficult to find but relatively easy to buy). The wood that I use is often repurposed as well. The snakes that I make are all of "found" wood picked up when walking the dogs. Sometimes, a branch is laying on the ground in such a way that it looks like it is moving. That "motion" compels me to pick it up and make something! I don't cut the wood from the trees or bushes - it has to be laying on the ground for me to take it. "
