Rusted offerings part 2

Rusty tracks and weather beaten wood, sun segmenting the shadows cast by the solid beams.

If you time it right you can be on the walking lane of the bridge when the train rumbles past.

If you missed the first 'rusted offerings' post you can see it here.

Back to school tomorrow....



Rusted offerings

 Graffiti on it's sea weathered surface, my fave pic of the day!

The lines of the rusted railings and mesh fence lent themselves well to black and white photography. I especially like the sunlit strip down the middle intersected by the shaddows of the beams.



Play time!

It's been a busy week here. I did work experience at a local art place which was really cool. It was pretty laid back and I'm going to go back and help hang exhibition in October all going well! I've also made my first book with covers made some thick sheets of handmade paper, no fancy binding (still to learn that) but it's really cool to see an actual book that I made and I know I will be doing some more. I will post pics as soon as I've finished embellishing the cover!
I just figured out what the 'make a collage' button does in Picassa. It's not rocket science but it looks really cool! In brief the collage shows different background papers that I have been playing around with. Indian ink and water, wet ink and salt, wet paper, paint and salt, wax drippings (my son did some too.) You can see the mountains I painted on the placemats.
They're not masterpiece's but it was great to break through some of my self-imposed pressure when it comes to painting! I did actually enjoy it so there should be more to come!
Last but not least... a beautifully rusted muffin tin! I am going to have to do some rust dying I think!

I received an award from Nancy at Openings Connecting which is much appreciated. I will post it in my next post and make my tags. Thanks Nancy!
