RUSTING WITH ALICE FOX

KOctober 6th Alice Fox was invited for the day to guide us through rusting fabric.


Alice demonstrated quick ways to rust using wire wool on fabric and paper using vinegar, tea and salt water.  Within hours we had results with some of our experiments.   Many items we took home to discover the unusual results.


Stitching during the day with pre dyed items
The results of using a rusty cow bell, great threads produced from wrapping the fabric too.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and now have lots of experiments with various teas and vinegar mixtures.  Finding unusual shaped rusty items suitable for wrapping is the intriguing part. Surprising where you find these things!!
