Rust always gives beautful natural patterns. I used pieces of pipe, keys, locks and hinges to make some very pleasing marks.

The mashed potato experiment didn't work out as I expected, as it dried and curled up on the fabric.

I persevered and coloured the fabric with Brusho inks and there was more 'resist' than I was expecting.

Wax resist and Brusho ink, not very exciting.

Permanganate Shibori style - didn't work, I should have made a paste. I was uncomfortable working with this chemical. There were too many hazard warnings on the bottle!

Discharged with lemon juice, far too random for me.

Egg tempura and Brusho inks - loved it!
 |
| 24 |
Egg tempura showing transparency - loved it!

Xpanda print on fabric, not a great successs.
I thought the egg tempura was wonderful. I loved the transparency of it, I think the effect is amazing.
