Welcome back to the Tate Modern West Cork Art Display entitled: "Milk Turns To Rust".
Today's composition of two rusty old steel/iron milk churns. They are very heavy. I hate to think what they would weigh if they were filled with milk.
I have an old aluminium/steel milk churn and it is very light to lift when empty.
Like old corrugated roofing iron sheets. I love the churns rusty patina.
What do you think? Some nice flowering perennials in plant pots placed in the top of the milk churns?
Would you give them house room? I think they are rather nice!
I will make them more attractive on another post.
I like them Dave. If they were mine and they were staying inside the house, I might put dried grasses or reeds or pieces of driftwood from the beach in them. Does Jean like them too? They would also look good outside - strategically placed.
ReplyDeleteGood ideas YP. Rusty patina especially on farm related items really appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteI would like them outside I think, possibly with a bay tree or something similar growing in them.
ReplyDeleteI like them. I've seen similar items at the local farmer's market which is only held once a month here, but they charge an arm and a leg for their stuff so I've never bought any.
ReplyDeleteYes I see similar one's for sale for over 80 Euros. Antique shops would charge more.
