Rusty Bucket - Sept. MPTS Challenge

Hello everyone!
Well, it's that time again, to show off my piece I did for
MPTS.
I really wanted to challenge the girls and make them think outside of the box.
When I came up with "The Rusty Bucket" I knew it was going to set some of them outside their comfort zone. I think stepping out of our comfort zone sometimes allows us to create things that we never knew we had in us! I really enjoy how well our design team meshes. Everyone one of us has a different look but it works. I feel if everyone created the same way we would have nothing to offer that sets us apart from the rest. Every month that we have been doing these challenges, I'm always surprised! I really enjoy seeing every one's work when it arrives in my email. They totally motivate me and bring a smile to my face! Thank you girls for being such an awesome design team. I couldn't have asked for better team players!


My project I visioned an old rusting bucket sitting on a farm somewhere. It looks old and abused by labor of our ancestors. It was probably used for many types of things on the farm. It would help carry the feed to the animals. It was also used to bring the milk in from the cows. Sometimes it was often used for a wash bucket. My bucket's life brought ease to our ancestors and the rust that it wears today, well.....it's like a badge of honor!
