wearable rust... who would have thought rust was wearable. but i truly believe in their beauty and their worth. remember my post about the washers i rusted under a controlled environment ? well, i created some neckwear with them :)
here's to the beginnings of my RustART Series ...
Reserved for Vampires
I Am Yours
Fleur
Broken Wings
The RustART Series is an assemblage of the normal and the curious. Every piece in this series begins with a rusted washer. An assemblage of different objects, some pretty, some not so (or rather not normally perceived as pretty), are put together to allow the process of alchemy to occur, thus creating the perfect concoction of beauty ... to the artist's eye.
*RustART : A washer is organically rusted over several days and several layers under my watchful eye, in order to get the best rust formation in every piece. When the perfect rust formation is achieved, it is immediately sealed in with several layers of fixatives and sealers to preserve the beauty of the rust. The sealers also act as a protective layer to skin that might be in contact with the washer.

I love these! My two favorites are the encapsulated heart and the broken wing. I'm new to your blog (found it via OHOW), and I'm really enjoying it. One of my favorite teachers is Michael DeMeng, and these really remind me of him (similar, but different). I love how you bring a softness to the rusted work.
Thanks for sharing.
amazing pieces !!!
L-love the way you are connecting your assemblage and rust making skills. The washers hacv a soft rust and provide a great platform for the other bits; and of course would sit well on the skin given you've sealed them so well. Hope this is a successful selling series. B
these look awesome. wish i could wear those but it doesn't work with my classical face... once again you inspire me!
Oh Luthien,
These are amazing! My special favorite is "Reserved for Vampires" faBuLouS!
Your new style just continues to grow and grow in such a beautiful way!
