Studio Friday - Antiqued/Aged

I feel a little rusty when it comes to participating in Studio Friday. I just haven't been able to get it together in the last several weeks. Seems appropriate to jump in for this week's theme of Antiqued/Aged.

So of course first I submit my rusty self -


Over the past several years I have developed an aesthetic fondness for rusty bits of stuff. I tend to pick up little things I find that have aged and rusted. Here's a small sample of recent finds.



Below is my stash of rusty circles. I could have submitted this one for the secret stash SF topic several weeks back but I didn't think of it. I also found that old mouse trap.



Sometimes I actually assemble art with my found bits. Here is a piece from 2004 made with found rusty metal, the bottom of a glass bottle I found broken just like that, and some lovely Japanese paper.
