I made an accordion album. Why? Because why not? 😜 Scroll through to see video and/or more pictures. #accordionjournal #accordionalbum #unknownfaces #foundimages #foundtext #foundobjects #coffeedyed #rustdyed #buttons #artjournaler #artjournal #artjournaling #bookbinding #bookmaker https://www.instagram.com/p/B9WyLlvAzo0/?igshid=1adcnpwfqqxxz

* I’ve been hoarding this rusted piece of fabric for a while now and decided to throw it in the washing machine with some old house cleaning rags and some of the rust washed away. I’m happy enough with the out come, however next time I’ll soak in salty water after I unroll them to see if I get better results. Does anyone have any tips on how to retain the rust color? Ps. I had to throw in the #calisky blue at the end for some contrast. 💙🤗 * * * #rustdyed #ruststain #rustyart #rust #rustybits #rustdyebath #rustporn #littlebooks #handmadebooks #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #junkjournals #mixedmediaartjournal #textileart #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #textured #handstitched #littlebooks #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/CjY8BcVvJ6T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rust dyed unbleached muslin, cheesecloth and lace. I will use this fabric for journaling and cardmaking embellishments.

* While cleaning out my studio I found this piece in my stacks, there's a story there, one day I'll remember it. * #rabbitholeart #acrylicpainting #canvasart #rustdyed #illustration #illustrating #linedrawing #surrealism #surrealart #surrealdrawing #drawing #surreal #linedrawings #drawings #abstractart #abstract_art #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartist #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #textures #texture #intuitiveart #abstractpainting #illustrations #sketch #socalartist #lamytutus https://www.instagram.com/p/CPcZ21yA9JY/?utm_medium=tumblr

I finished this yesterday. It’s been laying around forever. I had a deadline. I guess I need more deadlines. Rust dyed silk ,wool, thread, wire, linen and acrylic paint. #fiberartist #fiberart #softsculpture #rustdyed #funguslike #natureinspired #natureinspiredartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryfiberart (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt9W1DSFDpr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5453tlzax5i9

This is part of my new silk sculpture. I’ve been keeping it under wraps because it was white until I started dyeing it. I used rusty objects to get this color. I don’t think it can be matched with commercial dye. I like the fact that it’s a natural process and that it’s iron that is making this color like the iron in our blood. #artistinspiredbynature #rustdyed #rustdyedfabric #fiberart #fiberartist #felted #silk #silksculpture #nunofelting (at Highlands Art Garage) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnHoDJ-A_EA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bl0uwkil5hed
