Rusty Gold....

 

Using an old circular saw blade that I had used previously together with some other rusty nails and bits and pieces, I rusted some silk and Egyptian cotton with a solution of vinegar and water.
I was delighted with the results. I bonded them onto some pelmet Vylene and zigzagged around the edges to keep the sandwiches together.
On the front page I used Markle sticks and stencils to put the Title.
As it can be difficult to sew into rusted fabric I did some appliqué on the inside front cover, including frayed organza and an open textured webbing.
On my rusted 8” sq page I attached ammonites that I had stamped onto a medium weight Lutradur. I used fancy sequins. I then made a dissolvable paper ammonite which I painted with gold paint.
I hope you enjoyed reading this. Keep safe. Jane
