| Preparation- My printed fabric and rusty springs I found in my garage. |
 |
| Result after 2 days. |
 |
| Close up of section rusted with the marks of the spring. |
To rust my fabric(linen) I put my fabric in a bucket and poured vinegar and salt all over it, Im not one for measuring so not quiet sure on the measurements i used, i just made sure all the fabric was soaked. I then just wrapped the fabric around the rusty springs and placed in a plastic bag. I left it beside a heater ( not sure if this helps or not as this was my first time to try rusting) . I left it for 2 days and then took it out, it smelt really bad and the smell sticks to your hands, so I would definitely wear gloves if doing it again. I was really happy with the result and thought it gave my print an added effect, It is definitely a technique that I want to try again.
