Tea Dye,Fiber Art,and Rust..Yea Rust!

I'm pretty sure Hubby thinks I have a screw loose somewhere..tubs of tea dying gauze and lace on the windows..





..and with all this beautiful gauze lying around I simply had to attempt my first fiber art..It's not finished yet,but thought I would give you a sneak peak..I created it with layers of gauze,fabric,beads,stitch work and a lovely rusty plate with a clothespin that reads C'est la vie(Such is Life,or That's Life in french)..

I choose that title because the organized chaos in the fibers remind me of life's journey.

I loved the clothes pin so much I made some for my new store on Etsy..

..and speaking of rusty things..I've had a blast experimenting with rust...Ive used a store bought rusting solution,vinegar,beach and at the end of the day,I find that good old lemon juice with salt works best...





As always,
thank you so much for stopping by
