I have also chosen to work on squares of rusted thin metal sheets we had collected from the roadside collection. I am going to engrave the letters onto the metal and treat it with fixative as I want the contrast of the newly revealed metal against the rust.
I then will bend each square diagonally to create a shape that suggests a bird in flight.
The final piece I create from the whole alphabet will be like a flock of birds in flight.

Et le travail du métal pas si facile ?

The letters are actually nice.
And Metalworking not so easy?
Callie - I love the metal working - and have cut 26 squarwes of rusted metal to continue my work. I have a plan for the final piece called Words in Flight http://rustnstuff.blogspot.com/2010/07/words-in-flight.html. Barry
