how do you rust your paper?
was quite a process, i can find the instructions and write them up for you if you’d like…there was caustic soda, tea, and something else and you dip. its a beautiful grey green to start with then goes this rusty colour. it is actual rust!
sounds dangerous! don’t worry unless its easy. I might google it!
nah, it’s not! but will do if i remember…and googlings good.. :)
your work is also calligraphy!!! OOOOOOH thanks i got your calendar…and to all bubblers it is better than best!!!
Thankyou Shylie, glad the calendar looks good!
