184: rust play
Is anyone going to Art and Soul in Virginia this weekend?
My sister is. A couple of months ago she told me that she is taking the Michael DeMeng workshop - that's the fella who wrote The Secrets of Rusty Things .
She said she didn't have any materials to bring for the project. I guess some people don't have little boxes full of weird little bits and bobs, banker's boxes not labelled 'Taxes 2007,' but 'Rusty.' You know how I love rust.
Krissi, I got your back.
Half an hour of foraging in my workroom and here you go:
That little bit there in the front, to the right of the blue beads? That is a bit that flaked off of my awesome rusty watering can.
So I'm playing around with the rusty bits... Do you see what I saw in that one above?
Do you see that perfect profile there on the right? Reminds me of the closing credits of Lemony Snicket.
(Sorry, Krit. You know I had to keep this one. )
She's a bird nerd, so parted with some of my favorite little birdie bits.
And amethyst is her birthstone, so you know...
More rust play:
And if you've visited yummygoods more than once, you know I'm not the only one around here who likes to play:
Here you go, Kritter.
xo,

There is a ceramic glaze called Temmoku, I hope I spelled it correctly :), that looks a lot like rust to me. More in the maroon range and not the orange range.
What a sweet thing to do for your sister. I am sure she will love all the bits and bobs you are sending her.
the gems and crystals, as i was sitting on the couch this morning looking over it all, puff the cat comes up to play and starts sniffing all over the place and jamming her head in the box, now i know why
aren't cats funny?
thanks a billion millet
The flatten tin makes my heart sing!
