Cal Lane is a rather remarkable artist and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. The self-described tomboy was once a hairdresser who traded in her profession for welding over twelve years ago. Apparently there are some surprising similarities between cutting hair and cutting steel, and she started cutting delicate lacy patterns into rusty objects and industrial metal.

Her work has been shown internationally and was even featured in the Museum of Arts and Design in New York. The contrast between industrial metal and the delicate patterns the 39-year-old artist carves into these items is so intriguing. You would think that the contrast would not work between the two elements, but it's surprisingly harmonious. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
