Where the Wild Rust

Yes, where the wild rust .... Today I have a snow day - so declared by me! Late yesterday afternoon into the night we accumulated 8" of very wet and heavy snow. Many cars have been abandoned on the highways and the horror stories out there on  anywhere from 3 to 8 hour drives to get home.

At the office -- today no Internet, power down at the provider's office. Trees down on roads, one lane roads and it is just not worth it. So hello, Annual Leave, that is why I have you! At the beginning of the storm we had rain, thunder, hail, thunder, sleet, thunder, and then the snow started falling at 3:30 pm.

Interesting comments on Tuesday's post on an artist's slump! Thank you. I know we all go through it and it is different than a block. But, we also take it one day at a time and manage to work it out.

Now back to the topic at hand:  Where the Wild Rust Grows.  Today I have planted a rust garden and am tending to it with tender loving care. As you know from an earlier post, I am working on the creation of some rust-themed swap pages.  To-Do List:  Research  Rust. Check it off - found my stand-by book:

If you don't have this book, I would highly recommend it. Amazon has it and it is worth the dollars.  Find it by clicking on the name of the book here:  Collage Discovery Workshop. Yes - found chapter on Rust!

So this morning, off I went to plant my rust garden on my patio. . .

All it needs is the secret formula found in Claudine's book:

Rusting........ and now to play with images that were cut out last night while watching the Australian Open.

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, its off to check my rust garden to see if there is any progress - I know, I know, a "watched pot" does not boil - but we are talking rust, boys and girls.....Later on today will make homemade minestrone soup with toasted garlic bread!

Off to play with rust! smooches and hugs to my peeps, stay warm today!
