I hope so because it's inevitable in a garden! Rusty garden art began—or so I imagine it—when people needed a place to dispose of old metal items. What happened next was, the garden grew up around it, rust set in, and it started to look pretty good.
From there, people (on Team Rust) started intentionally turning old junk into art, and the wonderful world of garden art began.
I've picked out some favorite pieces which you can also find in this collection:
RUSTic and Recycled Garden Art Ideas.
You may (or may not) want eclectic art in your home, but the rules are different in the garden. This is the place to push boundaries and have some fun.
I'm a big fan of garden signs and quirky folk art pieces, both for their art and humor.
Whirligigs and wind spinners seem to be making a big comeback, and rightly so because they are really fun (and some are quite amazing). And how sweet is the black lab one (pictured above)?
If you follow the garden art world, you'll certainly recognize this sawblade cat (above, left). When it first appeared online it was immediately shared all over Facebook and Pinterest.
Owls are everywhere! When the Harry Potter books stormed the world, owls seemed to also make a big comeback from their heyday in the 1970s. Inspired by the Owl Postal System, all sorts of owl art and trinkets starting popping up. There's lots of variations on owl garden art and I see no reason not to have an entire collection to display in the garden.
If you're on Team Rust and love bird, there's plenty of choices, from large owls and peacocks, to songbirds and hummingbirds.
But there's also plenty of choices if you like the metal look without the rust. These owls (above) would certainly be welcome in my garden.
You can find all of the items pictured here in this collection:

Cheers for Team Rust!
