Weathered and Rusty

I'm in weathered and rusty mode.




I've been creating some of my salvaged metal crowns.





I gave this angel crown the rusty patina you see here.









I added the weathering to these vintage clothespins, and, added the numbered tacks as embellishments.




 I gave the tacks a little extra aging as well.




This vintage metal flower got a little extra patina.





I've also been going through my stash of vintage hardware.

The patina is natural on this ornate drawer pull,




and, on this beautifully weathered vintage cherub finial.




I'm still amazed at how much vintage hardware I've managed to accumulate over the years, and, I'm letting a lot of it go.




Everything is available in my Etsy shop.  I'll be adding similar items all week.  I have more digging, and, creating to do.
