What is it that is illuminating that cherry tree? Why, it’s SUN!
Last week, we were tempted by the fine weather to step away from our computers and pay a visit to our favorite junk shop to search for new art material. Now a lot of places might call themselves ‘junk’ shops but are really antique stores that offer only high-end pieces and corresponding high prices. Not so with this place! The interior offers your standard mixed array of second hand items, but the outdoor area is a junk-picker’s dream: old car parts, barnacle encrusted nautical items, chains, pipes, and all sort of lovely unidentifiable rusty bits and bobs. For just $3 we came away with a sagging paper bag of goodies.
Rae junk-picking. Don’t try this at home unless you are up to date on those pesky tetanus shots.
We can’t wait to see how each of these pieces will find its way into the world of Rustclad!
Our beauteous haul. Only an artist could love junk like this.
