Hi Everyone!
I was a bit stuck for ideas for my Rust tag at first, then I remembered a technique I had learned whilst doing my City and Guilds in Embroidery and Stitched Textiles, using a heat gun. I thought this would be just the thing to reproduce the idea of rust peeling away.
I took a piece of synthetic organza which I had previously stitched, together with some Lutrador, and heated them with the heat gun, which caused them to shrivel at different rates.
I used pelmet vilene for the background and painted it with Burnt Umber acrylic. Then I added some hand stitch with rust coloured ribbon. I would have put more stitch in, but it was really difficult to do, so I decided less would be more!
Great rainy day tags last week! Thanks for all your feedback.
Looking forward to seeing all your Rust tags now!
I love this technique, it must feel crispy like rust, too! Great colours and textures, Jane xx

great technique with great results - stunning tag! I am still learning the many effects you seem to be able to get with heated Lutradur- it looks so good in your tag for the aged peeling look.
