Outside Your Box Saturday Rusty Things



Here is my rusty things piece... I used steel wool and vinegar to make a wonderfully fine, tightly woven cotton fabric very colorful with lovely swirls of rust! I then attached a map fragment and a piece of shrinkfilm stamped with a map along the top and side. In the lower corner, I glued a pic of Madonna & child ontop of a card atop a domino. As a final touch, I added a tiny stamped celtic bee onto the map. What fun!

Almost Summer, Winter is A-coming.

The day began early with a ride north for a little minor surgery.  The sun was up before we left, but not before we rose.  The sky was a won...
