Rusty Blossom

 Handmade gate

Sadly, this gate is getting rusty but I think it's still quite lovely. It needs some TLC.

    Rust is beautiful - but I wouldn't have liked to sit on that on :-)

    PS I'm working on "the problem"

    The rust gives it so much "beauty." Wonderful close-up and great example of unusual beauty.

    By the looks of it--a LOT of tender loving care. How would you get the rust off of the petals?

    They have seen better days but still make for excellent photos in their old rusty age.

    I feel it is a nice touch. This gate would look nice standing in a garden. Yard art.

    That little bit of rust just adds color to that fence.

    The rust makes it even more beautiful, but I do hope someone cares for it before it's rusted away.

    Love rusty ironwork. The blue with the rust spots is really pretty.

    Despite the rust, it still is beautiful - a little sad and sweet. Hope it gets TLC soon!

    These colors look so exquisite together. I could see this flower as a pattern for a embroidery pillow, don’t you think so? It would look great as a composition pillow on a white or cream sofa.

    That's a lovely piece of ironwork and looks even better with a little bit of rust. Wish I was ageing so gracefully.

    I would hope someone comes along and takes care of this fence and decorations. To pretty to let rust away.
