Patina

The theme this week at Inspiration Avenue is:
What color "does it" for you right now?
For me the color is rust
PATINA
 
Rusty old iron pots. There are 3 in my yard. They are very heavy and hard to move. In the past  they were beautiful with herbs planted in them. Now they are empty. I have used them for small fires during parties and chilly mornings outside with my coffee.


I also
love turquoise and rust together,
the colors on my blog post today.
What colors are speaking to you?
Do you dream in color?

  5. Reds right now, intense Tuscan reds. A little fire in those rusty beautiful pots sounds very fun. I would love to do that with a coffee in hand. I like the greens/blues of your blog today. Have a great Sunday.

  12. Gemma,

    I'm in a RR and my theme is rust. You couldn't have picked a better color for this challenge, and the accompanying photos are superb, too. You have inspired me.
