Recycled Monsters – So Scary!

green — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 03:54:16 +0000

This is the time of year when ghouls and goblins and mummys are a common site. But these aren’t your everyday mummys ..they are made out of a recycled metal cabinet! They are about 10 inches tall….perfect for creeping out the little treaters! The creator is artist, Elli Groninger…I’ve never met her, but I like her already….she teaches a class called “Crash and Burn REcycled Metal Scultpure” where her motto is “if you are NOT endangering your limbs, you’ve wasted your time!” That’s the Halloween spirit!
Mummys are available for $45.00 each at ElliGroninger’s Etsy Shop
