You might think it’s weird to use a helmet to make a turtle. Maybe it is. Still, it’s a nice use of old helmets and machinery parts. I’d buy it, but $100 is a bit steep for my yard art budget, even if I’m getting a WWII Red Cross helmet.
The turtle helmet sculpture comes from Utah junk artist Fred Conion, who makes garden sculptures out of recovered objects.
