Fall Colours


September is drawing to an end, so thought I would post some fall colours!


Rust on hand dyed cotton fabric.
 
I do believe I dyed this with MX dyes back around 1994,  before I became allergic.  Anyway, I love the colors of this piece, as the leaves start to change I will take some photos, do some color studies and use some of this fabric as it's wanting to be stitched and oh so badly.

Rust Removal - Direct Method



The baking soda paste has been sitting on the surface for several days and has dried.



Fabric washed, rinsed and dried - the view is the flip side, and turned 180 degrees, of the above image.  The fabric is much softer with little loss of color.  NOTE these fabric pieces had been dyed some 6 years ago and this may affect color retention.
