It takes patience….

Rust for distressing paper and fabric - Linda Germain
Rust for distressing paper and fabric – Linda Germain

Spring comes, the snow melts and reveals lots of rusty metal bits.  I have a box of such treasures.  I love the textures and colors of decay.  Today, I spritzed some cotton fabric  with a vinegar and water mix.  Then I layered and wrapped the fabric with rusty metal.  Now I need the patience to leave it all alone until it dries.  Links to some of my other rust experiments.
