Facebook page for Here Be Snapdragons

I've created a facebook page. I'm trying to find out which works best for me a blog or a more instantaneous presence. Perhaps a mix of the two. But right now the blog alone isn't doing it.

Enjoy.

Rust Dyeing

I've been doing a bit of rust dyeing.

1:1 water:white vinegar. Soak with some old nails or keys for a few weeks - you'll see the colour change and intensify. I put a copper pipe on top but it didn't have much effect. It's useful to put things in a transparent container so you can see underneath.

Hey presto:


From underneath


Love how the screws show up




Looking forward to take this further in the future.
