I start with whatever the base "new" look for whatever it is would be. In this case I'm going for a sort of galvanized steel look. I start with a medium gray mixed with baking soda and talc to give it some body and texture.

Rust paintings (etch and paint on steel) by graffiti artist Teach. Note 'car numbers' on edges.

More uses for the buttons.... Shoe clips came to mind. I love all those pricey embellished flats, but not the prices. So shoe clips are the next best thing to jazz up my feet. They're great for sandals too.

This pair of clips above are great, the colors went really well together. I've had these shoes a long time, and the two little buttons on the side are wearing down, so I just clipped these over them, and away we go, new pair of shoes!!

Rusted!

Skippool Creek in fleetwood, where amny abandoned wrecks and boats have washed up and decayed over many many years. They are in a great surrounding area and they are wonderful to photograph.

One of my garden ornaments. I love the little ladybug. I also kind of like the rusty look to it now.

A while after taking this shot, I saw a young man take off on this old rusted bicycle. It made me think of what a consumer I am... what a throw-away society we live in.

Picture of the clogged section of pipe that I had to replace. Finally got the sink installed upstairs and then it would drain. Guess this would be why....

Speaks for it's self ! Only resized and border added. no other pp.

Oilseed rape field and old iron-work

Gas pipe access cap whatchamacallit thingy, in the center of the sidewalk, corroded into prettiness.

Yeah, it would have been better if I'd come at it from the other angle. Life goes on.

A single rusted tank in an otherwise spotless facility - strangely it

was right at the entrance to the building.

Rust Is Not A Crime

A rusted bolt on a bridge along a bicycle trail south and west of Lincoln, Nebraska. I thought it looked interesting.

Enjoying the rust taking over this particular piece of a train car. I ran this through Photomatix twice, one with Detail Enhancer and then a second round using Tone Compressor. I threw the compressed layer over the enhanced layer and then Multiplied. It really brought out the richness in the colors!
