I love these! Especially the dark, grungy one. I love doing both of these processes but you get much better results. You taught me some things which I hope help me the next time I try it. I have a giant collection of rusty bits, I love using washers and springs. My son and grandson keep me supplied with things they find also. Can't wait to see the next video!!!!! Thanks Margaret ❤
Thank you, Jenny! I have been quite pleased with the results, so hopefully you can try some of the next tricks here to see if it makes a difference for you. I would love to try it with washers at some point - I might rust some of my own 😉 Lucky you to have foragers in the family keeping an eye out for rusty bits. Working on the new video for Friday now 🤎
I started an art course this year, and one day out of the week is focused on textiles. Last lesson we studied rust dye! We used small swatches of calico cotton and created different designs using random rusty things we could find from home. We also used vinegar/water spray and covered the cotton with plastic sheeting. Amazingly I had some of the best results in the class, particularly from an old steel circular blade! It dyed almost the whole swatch of cotton a deep, deep blue/ black shade! Can't wait to check on it again next week.
Thanks for sharing! The course sounds wonderful and how lucky you get to work with fiber as well 🤎 It is super cool to see what different metal shapes can do and how different each print can turn out. Your blade sounds incredible!
Thank you, EB!! From the bitter cold of the arctic to the warm sandy beaches of Baja...I am very lucky indeed ❄ So excited to have you join for the Cookin' Color retreat in Mexico! Counting the days 💙
I love doing this on fabric & and paper. I call it Rust Painting.
That is a perfect name, Barbara! I'm loving it so much 🤎
They are all so beautiful 😍
Thank you so much! I'm really loving this whole process 🤎

Always textile for me 😊

Wow really it's a new information for me 😊❤
Fantastic - so great to hear! Thanks for joining us at Color Quest 🤎
Wish you a wonderful New Year! Enjoyed the video. Thanks Margaret.💚🤗
Happy New Year to you as well, Malathie! May 2024 be extra special for you 🤎
@@MargaretByrdColorQuest Thank you.💚🤗🙏
can you reuse the same rusted nails for another piece?
Yes, I reuse my rusted metal time and time again. I mention this towards the end of the video 😊
How colourfast is the rust?
Thanks for the question, Deb 😊 Iron is a natural mordant, so since rust is a form of iron oxide, it is considered to be very colorfast and stable.
Lovely results. 💛🧡❤️🤎Great video‼️I happily suffer RustLove. 🎉💛🧡❤️🤎
Thank you so much, Bonnie 🤎 We are now sisters in rust lovin' 😘
