Well actually the last one looks like an owl's face.
I do love doing the rust pieces. The cotton material is all finished, so on to silk or whatever I can get my hands on I guess.

Rust
These are a few rust pieces that I did. I think the first one and the last one look like Betty Boop's face, with her big eyes. Call me wierd, but that's what I see.

Hi, Tonniece, can you please give us a tip so we can also see Betty Boop and the owl? (grin & wink)
Tonneice,
These pieces are just wonderful. How did you get the grey texture? I love them.

Hi Carol
The grey was a blooper. on another piece I rusted I add hot tea to the mix, and it gave a bit of the grey.........So in my infinit wisdom i thought I'd try it again. I said to myself "I think I'll go one step further,and add the hot bag right on the fabric and bundle the whole shebang".
At first I hated it,but now it's growing on me i guess.
Anyway it's done now, like it or not. hahahahah

Tonniece,
It looks brilliant.
Have you tried dyeing with different flavoured teas? The colours you get are just amazing and not always what you expect. Pop a teabag in a cup with boiling water, leave for a while to brew and then add your cotton or silk.
I have used all sorts of flavours, I usually buy a box of a variety of teabags! The smell in the kitchen when doing this is wonderful.
Carol
Thanks Carol
I didn't know that. I will try it on my next rust piece.
