Off my back porch, I see what the winter did to my little lantern. Sitting beside an empty bird feeder. Time for some outdoor spring cleaning. www.facebook.com/Emily.elyse.joy

"Rusted Valve"
At work today I noticed a pile of junk sitting outside an old storage area. Broken down shelves, tables, desks and the like. It even had a kitchen sink. These busted up valves and piping really caught my attention though.
A rusting garage in a laneway behind Brock Ave. caught my eye. The pattern reminded me of an abstract painting.
A shallow pool near the high tide line on the shores of Hornby Island, BC A high concentration of iron leads to the rusting stones, while the warm pool offers good growth to the algae and other floating plant life.
I used a pumus stick (Pumie brand) and it worked fantastic. Zud worked really well too. We probably had a combined 8 hours of scrubbing the massive amount of rust off using those products with a wire bristle brush, small scrub brush, and a rag. Then we moved it to the studio, wiped it down with a dry rag and brush and applied the navel jelly. It completely coated and neutralized the oxidation.
We plan on painting the litho press soon too.
I rust-dyed some white muslin, then tore it into strips and handsewed the strips together to make a scarf.

"His iron coat all overgrown with rust, Was underneath envelope' d with gold, Whose glistering gloss darkened with filthy dust, Well yet appeare' d, to have been of old A work of rich entail, and curious mold, Woven with antics and wild imagery."
