Rusted Sampler by Cynthia St Charles
From the Rust Dyed Gallery
Size in inches: 24 x 29

Price: $300

Rebar, small nails, concrete ties, 4" spikes, and various other iron objects were used to create the interesting patterns on this sampler. Weather conditions, fabric type, and the catalyst used have an impact on the final result when working with this process. I've found that salt water produces a lighter shade on cotton, while vinegar gives a darker shade. Machine quilted. Binding is faux suede.
