Anybody who knows me can tell you that I will rust or patina anything that sits still. I especially love to rust and patina cardboard to use in my art. Everything that I create has rust and cardboard in it somewhere.. I was making a few pieces for my Believe project (more about that later) and I decided to go ahead a do a few extra pieces. It has such a vintage feel to it.
This was a plain white paper doily that I rusted twice. It folds up to make an envelope, The piece of corrugated on top is done with blue patina.
I am addicted to the these little cardboard birdcages cut from rusted or patina corrugated. Birds and birdcages, nests and wings are all sparks that ignite my creativity. Almost everything that I create has a bird or something that relates to a bird in it. It just simply makes me happy.
simply delicious rusty loveliness... as only you can create... bravo!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! I run off to Italy for a few weeks and LOOK at the fabulous website you've created while I was gone. You know of course, your rusting has me totally weak in the knees. I am so happy to have this 'virtual' link to you, to your uniquely Tonya art, and to your beautiful studio.
