This past week I invited two friends over to learn how to rust dye fabric. We used rusted wire, motorcycle sprockets, nails and something square. First wet the fabric with water, then spray with a mixture of vinegar and water. Wait at least 24 hours for the rusting magic to occur.

This fabric is called Foggy Mornings. It was created by rusting and then adding tea (tannin) to the iron oxide . This created a mordant that turned the fabric black. It was like doing a chemistry experiment.
