__Check out the art of American artist Jimmy Descant__
===Jimmy is fascinated by the careful design of the even the tiniest details or everyday machines. Armed with treasures found in junk shops and recycling yards, he made these rockets from old vacuum cleaners, car bits, broken torches, ornaments, kitchen utensils and old radios. He even earns his living this way!===

=Folk-art from the global scrap heap=

Scroll through the site below to see tin can vehicles, bottle-cap people, potato-chip bag purses - and most extraordinary of all - telephone-wire baskets!===
