“Before the Middle Ages, wrought iron was used primarily for weapons and tools, however, the medieval period brought with it a multitude of uses for wrought iron. It began to be used to cover doors and windows of buildings to protect against the attacks of raiders. But more prominently, wrought ironwork began to appear for decorative purposes.” Wrought Iron

I really like this photograph and there are many other excellent photos at SwittersB’s site. Please do check it out! This and a few photos from other bloggers have renewed an idea that was floating around in my head for one of my Mask series mixed media artworks. I’m excited to see how it will unfold!
