For this final project I wanted to work further with materials I've used throughout the semester. I created a textile piece that involves rust staining. Using leftover fabric from the skin project, I wrapped jersey knit cotton onto very rusty objects around my home. The image below is the tire frame on a bicycle.
Here I have wrapped fabric around the entire bike handle and wrapped the fabric onto two very rusted bells.
After 48+ hours of dying, this is the result.
When i put the fabric onto the gate for drying i discovered my interest in the draping form of the fabric. I went and got textile stiffener/draping liquid and soaked the fabric entirely to make it a bit rigid.
