While taking a break from cleaning, Ms. Lea whipped out a baggie of rusty bits and asked me if I wanted them. She found them while going through her mom’s tools, and thinking of me, asked her mom if she really need them, of if she could pass them on to me. It is most excellent to have friends who scavenge items for my art stash! So, we have flat, handmade, rusty nails, some small gears, and the ittiest, bittiest wrench I’ve ever seen. Seriously. It’s about 1 inch long.
Also, Duck!
A few years ago, I visited a family friend to take photos of her corn snake and the exterior of her house. While exploring outdoors, I found a concrete duck on her patio and carried it into the woods with me. I took several photos of Mr. Duck, and that would have been enough to make me happy. He’s a pretty spectacular animal, I think. However, since I liked him so much, the owner offered him to me. So, now, Mr. Duck lives with me. He’s not so delightfully mossy now. He’s been living in the sun, which has killed the moss and bleached his color. However, he will soon be residing on my very shady and damp back patio, so he will hopefully regain some of his lost patina.
