The rusting worked quite well, just with vinegar in a big plastic bag in the sun. The scarlet was particularly acceptable, the silk was gold coloured as in the streak, but for some reason the alchemy turned most of the fabric scarlet, very satisfactory.
I am thinking of stitching in black...........perhaps machining some figures. Always a period of puzzle when the fabrics reveal themselves. I rusted some cotton I had dyed previously and am thinking I might stamp it a bit, but dunno if I will ever work up the courage to then stitch it. Hard to cover up previous niceness.
