Unexpected Bouts of Rust

In the Re-worked spirit, these items have taken it upon themselves to adopt some organic rusty prints. I use the word 'prints' loosely, as these are clearly only marks where the fabric has come into contact with some of my other rusted - and now dry- experiments. Still, I find them interesting additions to our project. Spontaneous little marvels.

Pin Soldiers

As with our 'found' rusties, I find these pin oddities very inspiring... They are precious individuals in a packet of hundreds of other pins. I like them lined up as a little family like this.

A Little Butterfly Bow

Today I am working my way through a back log of materials that Nicola has sent to me. I found this pretty and forgotten (?!) lace bow. I think, again, it is one of those items that should remain whole. Having come with (and I assume, having always had), this small gold safety pin attached, I don't like to part the pair, so they will stay and weather the elements on the other side of my window, together. The pin is not necessary in holding the bow in place and so I consider it to be an interesting relationship. I wonder how they will affect one another when undergoing 'change' in the same conditions.
