This is stunning. I LOVE the marks of the rust on the linen, and the combination of weaving and drawn work is perfection. There's also something wonderful about the contrast between the implied touch of iron and the softness of lace and fray. Lovely.

DeleteLovely items - I really must get round to trying rust dyeing, I have so enjoyed embroidering on fabric I have dyed or painted myself!
