turning something unwanted into something treasured...

shelly gilmore

creator, welder, fabricator, dreamer

I’m an avid collector of all things metal. I live and craft in beautiful northern Idaho.


Projects pop into my mind when I stumble upon parts and pieces. The dreams don’t stop until I cut, weld, braze, and shape the scraps into treasures.


My favorite genres include industrial art & assemblage.

Junkyard Animals

Animals are my favorite things to make, I love the way the pieces take on their own personality and character by the way the scrap pieces come together.
