About
My name is Cindi and I am the owner and designer of Rustique Art. Rustique Art is where rust is a must! I love anything rusty, old, vintage, antique and just plain junk. I even decorate with rusty finds, there are rusty treasures in my garden too. I design and create Christian art, home decor and jewelry with rusty wire, vintage elements, beads and gobs of love. Most of my designs are wall crosses and reflections of my Christian faith. My blog is my vessel that I use to share my passion and creations with others. I enjoy playing in the dirt, planting flowers and now we have broadened our adventures with a vegetable and herb garden.
