Be Still My Heart
As many of you Junkers and Rust Lovers can relate when you're on the prowl for your rusty junk fix you know your heart skips a few beats, you breath a little faster and your eyes are all over the place waiting to land on a found treasure..... well on our recent trip to Santa Fe, my hubby and I decided to walk the railroad track which is really close to my Dad's house and ...
These of course (if you didn't know) are railroad nails. The numbers indicate the Year they were pounded into the railroad ties. Seem they just throw them to the side on old broken up ties and some are just laying around. I'm gonna have to sit and marinade on what I will use these on. They're so gorgeous I'm gonna have to just look at them a while. We also found quite a few railroad spikes and of course I'm putting them to good use in my new creations......
Found these wonderful vintage auger drill bits. Makes a mighty fine tail... if you ask me. The butterflies are multiplying also. I can hardly get thru the backyard. There doing a good job of rusting naturally.

your dragonflies are breathtaking and the tails ... GENIUS!! your garden is like a fairyland, my girl would be so thrilled if she was in your garden :)
SZQ - I Think you have created an envy wave - great stash of nails - just love the idea that they are dated. Any possibility of buying a stash. Love the creative use of the auger bits. You appear to be really productive at the moment - the festival is looming right? Go well, create well and stay well. B
