RUSTING A NEW PIECE

I fianally started my rusted piece of chains..
For anyone who hasn't done this it's very simple..
You can actually use any type of material,
with anything that will rust (steel)..
I'm doing a art quilt about the underground railway
in Nova Scotia Canada for a friend...
I used a piece of cotton sheet, I bought at the charity shop
and just ripped a piece off, layed a piece of chain then rolled
it over added another piece of chain until I got to the end of
the material put it in the bucket and soaked it in vinegar..
You can use white or brown doesn't matter. I'll leave it for
a week, if it get dry I just add a bit more vinegar to dampen it.
The ust will bleed into the material and when you undo it.
Well its like magic, I love to do this...
You can put the rusted piece anywhere,

This is another one I did with all kinds of rusted bits and just kept
wrapping it together. I have some thin steel wire and I tie the
piece up with it..
