Shake the Dust Off of Your Wings Kachina Metal Sculpture

The Shake the Dust Off of Your Wings Kachina is made almost solely from salvaged metal. The body and wings come from old sawmill bandsaw blades. Industrial friction discs form the head and legs. The base is a harrow disc blade. And an old rake head forms the antlers. Notice that a few of the tines or teeth have been bent through the years, adding character.

Plasma cut by hand, the bird image is based on a petroglyph found in Rinconada Canyon in New Mexico.

A note on the chimes: Depending on preference, the copper chimes can be spaced closer together (for more sound) or farther apart (less sound and a better look). They can also be removed altogether.
