Watercolor Rust

I am still playing with watercolors this summer.  I came across a picture in Country Living magazine of some old rusty yard tools, ripped it out and stuck it in my "To Paint" folder way back when!  Found the folder last night when I couldn't sleep (which is like every night lately... in the back of my mind, I know that my summer break is coming quickly to an end so I stay up to squeeze in more play time.) I pulled out the little picture and thought I would try to capture the rust in watercolor.  It is done on a 4x6 hot press paper card.  I then used my new photo corners to attach it onto a Gelli printed tip-in page of my art journal.  I am really liking the photo corners..it allows me to take the little paintings out if I choose to.
