I put photos up of my wildfabric rusting experiment. You can see the photos there. I'm workingon a new blog .... not ready to spring it on the world yet but when Ido it will tell all about the rusting, which I am going to do more of.(I know, a dangling participle, but it was all that would work.) Itturned out pretty good. I'm happy with the results, which will be cutout of the big piece of fabric so I can use it in other things. Nexttime, smaller pieces of fabric. SunnyNew Photos up

Those rust inspired markings are cool looking pieces that will be interesting accents to your one-of-a-kind creations.
No! don't cut up "Migration"!

Sunny,
I love your Rex Begonia - is beautiful. And, I'm intrigued by your rust material - look fascinating. Is the brine just salty water?

PS: I went through your pics - your work is wonderful.
That took longer than I expected. I'm just so easily distracted. Had to stop and admire the begonia. Had to stop and sigh over Andrea's baby. I declare, Sunny, if you want to rust fabric, I wish you'd just bring it to the Swamp. Anything rusts here - even my drinking glasses and china have rust spots on them if I let them stand wet in the dishwasher. It's a blessing that we don't have dentures that have to be soaked over night. Polly
NEAT - I'll be posting pics on my blog this afternoon of my experiment. Didn't have those delicate little things - more ironworker scrap (:

On old quilts that have rust spots on them, the fabric is very brittle and flakes away. Will the "new" rusted fabric be weaker also?
