Buried treasure

Not much time for stitching, as I am digging out a garden that has had no attention for over 20 years. Rubble pile so far

has led to the discovery of rust dyeing treasure

The rest of the family think I am mad as I exclaim over rusty bits of barbed wire, broken horseshoes, rusty nails, steel wall reinforcing - rust dyeing plans are afoot!

  1. That amount of rubble from that space? That looks like seriously hard work! How lovely that you are getting a rust work benefit, though!
    Ages ago I picked up all sorts of rusty bits from the Twickenham foreshore. Kept them for over two years before deciding that I wasn't actually going to manage to do anything productive with them. Hope that you are more proactive than I was, as it is always such an interesting way to get results!
