point "a" to point "b"

... or my treatment of bottlecaps ...

a new bottle cap

 I save them and am known to save them 

so I am gifted with bottlecaps from family and friends

even friends as far away as syracuse and san diego

*

a hammered bottlecap

 my backyard patio has a pebbled concrete surface

I find that this is a perfect substrate when I am hammering them:

they get nicely scratched up at the same time

*

a rusted bottlecap

my homemade rust recipe is very simple:

lay caps face up in a pan

sprinkle generously with salt

pour hydrogen peroxide over them

let them sit for several hours

voila

rusted bottlecaps

*

it saves the trouble of searching sidewalks and parking lots

especially since those are usually going to be corona or budweiser anyway

(boring)

but don't stop searching

... think of them as landlocked seashells ...
