Wow! This looks super easy and less messy and smelly. Your results are fabulous on both paper and fabric! Gonna try this for sure! Just need to put the kettle on and find some rusty buts! Tfs! 🙂🤗♥️
Susan, I've read that tea and coffee stains eventually eats the fabric away. I haven't tried it, but I wouldn't want to work on a project that's going to eat itself in time. Thank you for sharing, though!
It is something that people who work with this sort of thing have to come to terms with. From some it is a part of creating their art. I don’t do this type of work anymore myself but I understand the appeal.💚💚💚
Wonderful results from the tea! I was going to order the book you recommended but, have to order 25 at a time for $20.37 each. Not available elsewhere. I really appreciate you sharing 😊
Susan, wonderful video, great results. I got Alice's book awhile back because of your recommendation, and I love the book. My kind of style. Have a wonderful and creative day.
Ohhh - This is fabulous!!! I had actually wondered if this would work as it seemed natural to me. Rust, after all, is caused by the reaction of water on certain metal over time. I will definitely be playing with this idea!!! Thank you so much for sharing Susan!!! Yayyy… I’m excited to play!!! Big hugs 🌷💕
I was playing around with rust dying, green tea bags and leaves. The colors were amazing! I just bundled leaves in fabric, different ones, then put in a tub with water, green tea bags and then added in the old bolts I had on hand. I let it sit in the sun for a few days and I was astonished. I had no idea what caused the colors of purple, gray, black and of course some orange. Now I know it was the tea! Crazy to think I was just playing and seeing what happened. I heat set with an iron but I don't know if they will wash out? I did let them dry in the hot sun too.
I’ve never tried to see how they hold up with being laundered. Rust dyeing for me is something that I’ll use in art in a journal or on a piece that would go on the wall. I think hear setting with an iron is a good idea and keep it out of the sun but again I don’t know what would happen if you threw it in the wash.
Oh, yeah!! Came out great. Thanks. I'm gonna be trying different teas too. I have tons of different teas. I love rust painting!!! (That's what I call it when my family asks: Mom,...WHAT are you doing now???) Lol. Seems if you give something a NAME,...we don't seem so WEIRD!! hahaha! 0h my goodness! I love it! Thanks for video. Austin,TX USA
@@SusanTaylorBrown thank you, Susan! Now, as I get ready to try this myself, are your cloths wet or dry when you begin? I know that they end up wet, obviously, with the tea, but do you start with dry cloth? (I guess it really doesn’t matter since it’s all going to be wet anyway) It’s hard to tell in the video and I couldn’t hear that you told us. Thanks in advance, my dear kindred soul
@@SusanTaylorBrown I'm trying some experiments now laying the two non woven fabrics on a very rusty baking sheet wuth neat vinegar lots of nails, rusty chains, screws etc and I also squirted on some peroxide.I think I'll have to leave it to dry as it's very wet and I've placed it outside as I can't bear the smell of the vinegar.My fear is that when it dries, it'll all wash off when I neutralise the acid.
@@SusanTaylorBrown Well Susan there was a very strong wind this morning which has hastened the drying of my pieces. They have rusted very well but I have to see if the rust washes off on the synthetic Lutradur and Tyvek.
Its interesting, but I don't know why you are so scared of rust! Speaking as a medically qualified doctor, iron salts are not toxic. People have cooked in iron cooking pots for centuries. Its actually beneficial especially in countries where people can't afford meat, as it adds a source of iron to the diet, and prevents anaemia. So just don't worry ! You might not want to have rust stained fingers as it looks bad, but you won't get iron poisoning.

Thanks so much for introducing me to this talented lady, Debs. Now I need to find more rusty bits!! Jen xx
Gorgeous 😍😍 I get the black rust also with coffee and rusty object

I love black grey tones that accompany the rust

Oh, I love this idea! Great results! The thought of using different teas for different colors is very intriguing. Thanks for sharing your process! 💕
Awesome idea, Susan! I need to have my hubby find me some rusty bits to use. Shouldn't be difficult down here in the humid South...
Loving this. ❤ I’m all in for this method. Love that you shared.
Awesome! Thank you! 💚
Susan, wonderful video, great results. I got Alice's book awhile back because of your recommendation, and I love the book. My kind of style. Have a wonderful and creative day.

Very cool! Now, just because my brain likes to ask questions … did she say whether or not coffee will work too?

Put your tea in an old sauce/ketchup bottle , l love the colours you got yummy!
I want to try this on Tyvek and Lutradur.Have you any tips please?

Where do you get your rusted pieces???

Not toxic but it eats your fabric unless it is neutralised which is what Susan is talking about.
