Le petite jardin mobile.

I spent a lot of time working on art and this was my greatest accomplishment this week.  I created a small rusted garden on wheels.  The wooden base is a scrap piece of wood from the garage. It may have come from one of the rent house remodels.  I did have to cut to length.  Love the power tools.  The little tart tins were aged and rusted by me but they were purchased at estate sales.  I also used nails bought from estate sales.  I love the rusted metal casters.  They are operational and have to be positioned to balance the weight in order for the garden to stay upright.  The red in the center of the flowers is encaustic wax.  I may try other versions of this with blue. 

These are not the best pictures.  I am still shopping for a new camera.  My poor coffee table shows wear but I love it.  It is a cut down kitchen table so it is large.  As the name of my blog says I live a dusty rusty life and don't worry about the scratches on my furniture. 

I still need to create the larger hanging pieces I need for the upcoming reception.  The boards are made and ready to be worked.  Dealing with stage fright is not pleasant.  Using large amounts of wax is daunting.  Using small pieces to loosen up and allow the creativity to flow.
