It is so nice to meet you, Ladies! My name is Popping-Eye Pete but I prefer to be called Rusty Charmer :) . Julia put me together from all kinds of stuff she found at junk yards, flea markets and the beach. I’m so glad she did because I have so much fun discovering lots of amazing things. I’m very thirsty for knowledge and when I’m especially interested in someone or something, my right eye pops out, so that I can have a closer look. Like now, while looking at you :) .
I usually read and at the same time listen to an audio book on a totally different topic. Having a rusty pétanque ball as a head seems to help being a good multitasker. I would suggest, Julia should get such a head too. Oops, that was a bit naughty, wasn’t it? Hopefully I won’t get disassembled now. Maybe you can put in a good word for me.
It might be hard to believe but I’m a bit shy and don’t talk much. I rather like to attract someone’s attention by gently ringing the bell in my right hand and then holding up a piece of paper with my thoughts or questions. I hope you don’t mind.
We are so sophisticated over here. This advanced clothespin technology is all the rage at the moment, if you haven’t heard yet.
It was such a pleasure meeting you! Have an amazing weekend! I’m off now to relax a little bit before I hop over to these great parties:

Julia, my friend, you are totally and utterly amazing. I don't know what to say, this piece has left me speechless.
You are brilliant!!!!!
Such a delightful character--and a fellow reader, although I am totally unable to read and listen to audio at the same time!
Haha, liebe Julia,
der charmante Kerl ist ja mal wieder der TOTALHAMMER! Ich bin begeistert, das kannst du ihm ausrichten - und auch, dass er nicht schüchtern zu sein braucht! Hoffentlich kommen noch mehr von diesen irren "Typen", wie ja auch Pelican Joe einer ist - und hoffentlich machst du dann mal eine große Ausstellung mit ihnen. Ich finde nämlich, du gehörst auf der Stelle entdeckt!
Dank dir sehr für deine immer wieder lieben und amüsanten Zeilen bei mir! Ja, bei irischer Musik geht's mir haargenau wie dir, ich kann da auch nicht stillsitzen, das war schon in meiner Kindheit so - und ist jao offenbar auch vererbbar, denn Jana tanzte ja auch bereits als Kleinkind mit. Diese Musik spricht irgendwelche Urinstinkte an!
Mit meinen Klamotten brauchst du nicht wirklich Mitleid zu haben. Wenn sie nicht abenteuerlich gestimmt sind, hätten sie halt einfach nicht meine Klamotten werden dürfen ;o))
Alles Liebe und herzliche Drücker
von der Traude (und natürlich Fellchenkrauler!)
OMGosh I adore assembled art that's made from altered salvaged parts. Your little guy is enchanting!
What a clever and wonderful creation! You have such a great imagination, Julia! Hugs, Sue
Amazing, indeed! Just wonderful. I'm going to start looking at my own junk a little differently after seeing this.
This is the cutest and most clever creation I've seen in ages! Popping-Eye Pete sure did put a huge smile on my face. Absolutely amazing, Julia.
Dearest Julia, oh you are brillant! What a fabolous little guy, he is, totally LOVABLE. How did you even get the idea, to assemble all your great finds, to build ham Lol. Pete is gorgeous and im happy he wasnt too shy, meeting ud, Lol. Happy weekend my dear friend. Love and hugs from Dorthe
Rusty is AWESOME!!! Great work ~
So happy to meet you charming Pete, you are an adorable, lovable man of metals. Your friend Julia has well introduced you to a whole new world of ladies, just wooing and awing over your wonderful features. The world of imagination has taken over your lovely owner and we are so glad ...it has given us all something to smile about. You enjoy your new surroundings. And keep that pretty smile.
Poppin' Eye Pete you are most certainly a charmer and you have a rather naughty side to your character but that is okay because I have completely fallen for your charms!
A man who is thirsty for knowledge, a multi-tasker and who has such sparkly teeth, well I am definitely smitten :)

Julia, This is an incredible creation. You are a genius! To bring personality to what so many view as pieces of junk is astonishing level of creativity. Poppin' Eye Pete should have his own book so we can read of his exploits! Thank you for such a fabulous and memorable post.
Wow.
absolutely charming and inventive! I bet you had great fun creating Pete...oh so clever!
Oh my gosh, Pete is fabulous! SAweet Pete!! You are so creative! Love his steampunk look!
Hugs,
Jann
I am amazed you were able to put such personality into pieces of metal! Made me smile.

Have a wonderful day my friend.
Sending hugs and love,
Marie

Your sculpture is amazing. What a talented girl you are. Being able to see that little man in a pile of rusty junk is an awesome talent. My hand goes off to you! He is brilliant!

Cute, cute, cute, Julia! Saw your feature at the Vintage Inspiration Party - so deserving! I have bought Popping-Eye Pete's cousin, I do believe, at the longest yard sale this past summer (Homer, the MObot). Love yours!

Ganz tolle Arbeit mit so liebevollen Details, Julia! Auch deine Worte dazu sind so nett, wie süß er sich selbst vorstellt.
