These are the Tyvek envelopes I rust-dyed with
Purple Missus' Alternative Rust-Dyeing (Dip Method) last summer. I had taken yet another wonderful class from Lynda Monk and Carol McFee at Fibre-in-Form. These have been hanging to dry for about 6 months now. They had a powdery texture, and I wasn't sure how I would use them ... until I gave them a layer of matte medium to seal in that wonderful texture and color. Now I think these would be great covers for journals!
This one was crumbled up and lightly flattened out before dipping. I wanted to see how the hills and valleys would hold onto the rust ...
I think this one would make a nice banner for the top of this blog.
The rest of them were just dipped. These are tricky to photograph due to the shine from the Tyvek, but I think you get the idea.
See--it really is a mailing envelope!
