I did a mini workshop on rust printing today. I'm super excited about it! The rust metal actually goes into the fabric. It's not a stain, it's the actual metal in the fabric!

As memories of a majestic blossom fade, white turns to rust as it withers.

As fascinated as I am by the many abandoned cabins and trailers that sit decomposing in the Southern California desert, I'm just as intrigued by the possessions that have been left behind with them. Pictured here, a rusty old bedspring I stumbled upon in the yard of a deserted jackrabbit homestead in Wonder Valley, CA.

2 day workshop with Alice exploring using rust in textile art

The chair in the schoolhouse in the park that W. and I came across during yesterday's photo excursion to Rolla Pub. I ended up taking the majority of my photos here.

This photo isn't particularly in focus, but I still like it. Here is a shot of the entire room.

i like this 55 chevy wagon!

I love the colors of this rust.

More pics from yesterday. I found this old chain hanging in my friend's garage. It caught my eye, so I took some shots.

All cc and advice is welcome!

Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. A childlike and abiding trust in Providence is its best preventive and remedy.

Old Crane rusting in a field

Rohan took this picture the morning after my bag got stolen from a jazz bar - a JAZZ BAR no less! - and a lovely woman named Claudine found it in the street, phoned me up, and returned to me my wallet, my favourite hat and my beloved mittens. Of course, I had already cancelled all my cards, but that's another story, much more boring, and with no photographic documentation.

Rust

May 4, 2015. I saw this outstanding artifact yesterday while cycling along Coverdale Road from Salisbury, and on learning that this week's Moncton Photos group theme is 'Old and rusty' I had to drive out there over lunch today to grab a photo. Other than that, I spent the day in meetings and preparing for our program review. Good productive day.
