This group should inspire me to get off my b*tt and actually learn something new! I don't have photos of my rusted fabrics yet, but I'll take a few shots of those that I have left and post them.

I found you while I was looking for some information on how to extract the dye from Lady's bedstraw and Madder.

The things you are all doing are so creative and I am dye-ing to try them all. Where does the time go?
