Okay, so I know I've been a little MIA lately. I've been elbows deep in alien robot parts. I think I finally got most of the things sorted. At least with the smaller ones.

There's still the legs of the bigger ones.

Um, anyway, in the time I wasn't sorting out useful bits and parts, I actually made a few metal sculptures, out of the bits that weren't useful for anything else...

This is one of my smaller ones:

There are a few more, but I think I'm bogarting the network.

Edit: I didn't put these up to brag, I meant to ask if anyone wanted one. I have more than just these, these are just a sample.

	Do you want one? I meant to ask, but I forgot that part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really love that wing. How securely can it be attached to a wall? I have soon to be crawling infants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Very. I'll hang it up for you. Up high enough so that they wont be able to reach it until they're teenagers? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-19 06:10 am UTC (link)
	That would be perfect. Thank you. You really do have a gift. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-19 06:52 am UTC (link)
	Thank you. It took a lot of practice, but when you're not especially privileged, in space, you have a lot of time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a bit of an artist too, but I work with motorcycles. Restoration, mainly, but I have built a couple from the frame up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-19 08:40 am UTC (link)
	So I probably shouldn't take any off the street and make them into things they aren't supposed to be, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 01:50 am UTC (link)
	How about you call me first and I'll see if it's worth restoring before you use it for art? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 04:59 am UTC (link)
	Sure, I can do that. I'd probably just end up polishing up the metal parts anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 05:02 am UTC (link)
	Oh, while you're out looking for bits and pieces for your art, could you let me know if you see a purple motorcycle somewhere? I kind of lost it at some point during my time travels. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 05:33 am UTC (link)
	I've already seen it. It's over down an alleyway close to the Pub. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 05:35 am UTC (link)
	Okay, you're not officially one of my favorite people. Thank you so much! Did it look in decent condition or did it look like it'd been there for a long time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 05:52 am UTC (link)
	No problem. I just noticed the craftsmanship, that's all. It looks a little rough. It's definitely seen a few rains, most of the chrome isn't exactly chrome anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 05:56 am UTC (link)
	Oh my poor baby. Now I know where it is, though, so I can fix her up good as new. If you want a bike, just let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 06:14 am UTC (link)
	It shouldn't take much to get her back. You might have to rechrome some parts though. I have one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 06:16 am UTC (link)
	Rechroming is no problem at all. If you ever need any work on your bike, just give me a shout. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 06:29 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, it's one of the easier things I know how to do. Sure, thanks! I like to tweek her every now and then, but I wouldn't mind letting you do the tune ups. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 06:37 am UTC (link)
	Maybe you can help me out with that? If there's a lot of work to do. It's the least I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 06:45 am UTC (link)
	Sure, if you don't mind bringing her down to my studio. I imagine your fingers are a little smaller than mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Don't mind at all. Probably just a little bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 06:59 am UTC (link)
	I've got a spray tent set up for when I want to make things a little prettier. I manage to scrape up my knuckles really good when swapping, or just cleaning, the spark plugs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 07:02 am UTC (link)
	Very cool. That's better than what I have in my garage. Yeah, I'd say my fingers are smaller than yours. I'll take good care of your bike. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 07:23 am UTC (link)
	I've got the good chromer too. The sort that you spray on, like powder coat, and cook it on. Thanks. She doesn't need it right now, I did it last month, but she will. I ride her a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	rachelsully 2015-09-21 07:26 am UTC (link)
	Oh wow. I still haven't gotten that set up yet. Just let me know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_spacewalker 2015-09-21 09:12 am UTC (link)
	Well, some of my stuff is too big for indoors, so I had to do something to protect it. Sure. Thanks again. (Reply to this) (Parent)
