Rust Dying Fabric | Orange....Me?

Day 317 #ayearinstitches 
A fiber artist friend challenged our group to rust dye 

a remnant from the mill her relatives ran many years ago.

 I gathered tomato paste and cans and lids 

and put my piece outside, 

prayed with vinegar and waited for the elements to create design. 

Several days later I looked and the fabric was 

under a layer

 of red clay silt from recent rains and very orange.

 After several washings,

 it's ready for embroidery layered on batik fabrics. 

2 strands teal Running Stitch and Cross Stitch.
