Found a perfectly good bike chain in a Seattle gutter last month and my brain went from 'that's trash' to 'that's a necklace' in about 3 seconds flat.

I used to only look for pretty things like beach glass, but after seeing a sculpture made from old keys at a Tacoma gallery, now I'm grabbing rusty bolts and broken plastic because my friend said, 'the uglier the better,' and honestly, what's your weirdest material find?

Wait, you made a robot out of a spark plug? Like an actual moving robot or a little statue thing? Because I'm imagining something with little wire legs and a bottle cap for a head and that's way too specific to not be true. I need to see a picture or something because that sounds incredible. Ugly finds really do turn out to be the best finds, I'm starting to learn. My pile of junk is looking a lot more like art supplies now.

Found a used spark plug once, made a weird little robot. Ugly finds are the best.
