This artist creates stunning scrap metal sculptures showing A Variety of Wildlife.

Making stuff is awesome. Making stuff from junk is awesome. Making cool stuff from junk is the awesome.

Leah Jeffery, a Georgia-based artist, produces beautiful sculptures out of discarded metal scraps. She has stated, “Ever since I was young, I have enjoyed art and making things with my hands. In high school I started looking into different trades. I signed up for a welding class my senior year and found I really loved it. Throughout the semesters I finished my work quickly and used my free time in class to work on different projects. Inspired by scrap metal artists I saw on social media, I decided to make an animal - a Great Horned Owl. I found I really enjoyed making sculptures. Now combining my love of both art and welding, I explore creating different birds and animals from reclaimed metal.”

This is how she makes these incredible sculptures. – “I start off by studying the animal, its shapes and curve and whatnot, then I just start putting piece of scrap together, like a puzzle, till it looks like the animal.”
