New. . .and already rusty!

#1 - rust marks on paper 
#2 - rust marks on paper

I would like to take you step-by-step with me through  an experimental process that I am working on. I have already showed you my lovely old nails and have no idea where this new approach will take me  but  am fascinated by the idea of these rusty pieces which for me represent the architectural  and the images that they produce which denote the figure.

(Above) I am working with small pieces of heavy quality drawing paper (8"x 8") which  I prepared with gesso and   left to dry thoroughly. Then, using my antique nails which I wet with water and vinegar, I obtained  the above images.
