Metal In Collage

There seems to be a trend towards 'metal' in art.  Rusty bits, and rust dyed fabric are all found in abundance lately.  Simon Says Stamp And Show has metal as their weekly challenge, which suits me down to the ground.  Many of my collages contain metal in some form.

UNKNOWN - a rusty champagne top


LINE 'EM UP or EARLY CLOSING - bottle tops

ILLUMINATED - gold paint and found metal

...and, of course, an oldie but goodie...

RUST IS THE NEW BLACK

Amazing what you can recycle... but I'd LOVE to win some new stuff from Simon Says.

    Hi JM - only too true - rust is the new black and lots of colours as well. Create well. B

    I love your found metal bits. (I confess I am tired of the pre-fab faux rust embellishment movement). You use your pieces to great effect.

    WOW! Amazing collage mixed media here! Love your abstract pieces! I can see so many things and influences from the masters. Love the bottle caps...especially the one as a hat! Thank you for showing us your metals at Simon Says Stamp & Show this week!
