It took 2 years of trying to make things grow before I gave up and decided to grow boulders
and yard art instead. Here’s a photo of some steel boulders I asked my artist friend Joan Waters
to make for me. They serve two purposes. The first is to hold back the bank and the second
is to look cool! During the last month, I noticed that as the sun was rising, it was “kissing” the
tops of the boulders. With a little help from Photoshop, this is what I was seeing.
So very cool. Will they continue to change appearance as they are exposed to the elements? I’ve grown fond of oxidation as a finish.
Thanks Jim! Joan put some kind of solution on them which is causing them to change color as they age. My original intent was to let them totally rust but I’m liking the color so I just asked Joan for the best way to slow the process.
Thanks for linking to Joan’s website. Her art is so inspirational — love it! And her paintings? Oh, yeah! Again, thanks for the link. — Carol Leigh
