We have purchased some strips of Corten steel to create a border around part of the gravel on the new sculpture terraces. This type of steel is meant to rust but not rust away. When it was picked up it was a blue metal colour but after only 24 hours in the rain it has already started to rust and form some gorgeous patterns as you can see from the photo above and below.

I will install the strips as soon as we get fine weather.
I managed to make time this morning to finish polishing and tagging the Leafspoons and Leaf Pate Knives to take in to Maleny additions.

This afternoon I got out the metal I cut to make my International Peace Day pieces. I have started the stamping process - but that will be the subject of another post.
that Corten steel is magic as is your offerings!
