After 24 hours the iron oxide from the rusty nails
is working its magic on the wet fabric, top L. Another 24 hours sees a darkening & further spread of the colour. When I'm happy with the colour & patterning, I remove the fabric wearing gloves & rinse it in half a cup of salt dissolved in 5 litres of warm water. I then rinse in fresh water several times & finally wash in the machine. The last photo shows a double layering of fabric as the objects can be placed under the fabric or on top.
