Rusting fabric

A few years ago, while at Mt Cuthbert in the bush for 3 weeks, I decided to make some rusty impressions on fabric, using the old objects discarded & abandoned from the last century of mining in the area.
It was a discovery process for me, but now I can recreate some of this at home. Here is the first stage- wet white fabric in a plastic tray- rusty nails placed on top- a splash of vinegar to help the process- cover the container & wait for the magic to begin.
If you already enjoy using rusted fabric in your designs Rust-Tex are orgainising a juried touring exhibition to premier at the Spring International Quilt Festival in Chicago April 16-18, 2010.
