Experiments with Rust Dyeing

I'm not sure whether I'm altogether happy with my first attempts at rust dyeing, and I haven't a clue what I'm going to use the fabric for! I think they look more like rusty bits of rag from the shed that need to be thrown out! I will try to persevere with a more positive, open minded outlook, and an 'ah... interesting' attitude!

soaking in the tin - the black bits are splashes of tannin (tea)

a motled piece of scrim ..... hmmmmmm

I think this might need more work?????

this piece of silk noir might be useful for something ..... any suggestions??? I like the effects created by the rusty nails and washers.

The cake tin gave an interesting result ... I'm trying this one again.
