@jerzone Those colours combined with indigo are probably my favourites.

@canyakker Hopefully she sends photos when done.

@jerzone This is super interesting to me! Do you know about the process used? Will the rust stains stay? Is it a way of blocking light for cyanptypes?

[jerzone@techhub.social]

@Tryllesokker I don't know much about the process, but typically she uses leaves, metal, or similar to impart shape stains (my word) onto the fabric and then natural dyes afterwards. One of the rusted metal ones is shown in image below, here's what she wrote about them: "Colored ones are not flat rust prints. All are put in tannin first, then ferrous. Marigold one was also dipped 1/2 into Calx (Calcium Hydroxide) same with white dotted one on right."

Here's her website, although the images are from a number of years back: http://reddesertwear.com

I like the owl fabric at the bottom of the page.
Beautiful prints.

She's dyed the fabric with indigo. Short video showing other dyed fabrics in reply.
