Bowl of Buckles & Rusty Keys

I bought this Bowl of Buckles over a year ago.
Had great visions of using it in my art.
Well, I've decided I have more supplies than I will ever use,
so, I'm parting with some of these treasures.
If you see anything you are interested in please let me know.

First up: 13 assorted silver buckles and ??
See the ones with the 'post' out the backs,
I'm not sure what they are. Buckles??

Here is a close up of the back of one.
See the anchor?
Go HERE if interested.

More Rusty Treasures!!

I rusted more goodies.
Keys, and, see those two latch thingies?
Those were solid gold, bright shiny new.
I got them in a box with some other things.
Was going to Goodwill them, then thought, RUST!!
Took 3 times to get them to rust, but I did it!!!!

formula? White vinegar, salt.
Lay item on paper towel.
dowse with vinegar, salt heavily.
Wrap up i paper towel,
Put in baggy.
Check in a couple of days.

If more rust desired, add more vinegar and salt.
(keep in mind that after they are 'done' and
lay out in the air awhile, they will continue to rust.)
Don't you love the colors of these?
And how about that bit of blue patina in the pic above?

Anyone need any rusty keys??
Who knows, maybe I'll just get into the rusting business,
and forget all the rest? =)

Oh, almost forgot.
This big eye hook was in the box too.
Can't you just see it with a ribbon holding a picture?
Pretty cool rusted huh??

Big Monday Blessings to all.
Having fun in Oregon.
