WOO HOO I'M RUSTING!!!!!!!!!

 
 
 

Rusting it's another one of my favourite things to create.
To me "_" it's like Magic, you put a bunch of material,
and some steel pieces add some vinegar to cover them.
It smells like a fish and chippy place, but that's okay.
I usually leave mine 8-10 days, I make sure they stay damp,
with the vinegar.
I put a plate and steel it on for weight.
You can usually see how rusted the piece is getting.
When I  unwrapped everything, there are gorgeous rust marks
of their own making, like Magic.
I have never rusted lace before only cotton material.
I was on my friend another Magpie, she make some
textile pray flags,  and she used some rusted lace and other
tecnique's on them beautiful creative work...
Soooo she inspired me to rust some laces.
I'm excited to see how it turns out.
I working on a earth day project
and I want to use some  on there, hope it knows
I'm in a hurry heheehhe
Thanks for looking and reading.
Have a wonderful day.
NAMESTA!!!!
Miss Magpies address is on my side bar..

Thank you for visiting my blog. I appreciate your visit and comment. Also, my sympathies during the loss of your sister. My prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

Ohhhhh, I'm so excited to see how this will turn out! I never knew you could rust your own items before- how interesting. May need to try that soon.
