I emailed you a picture. I think I may have kept it too moist. Let me know what you think.

Are you mixing the iron powder into the print paste? And keeping it moist? It will halo because the rust will travel along the wet fabric, but you should have a distinct printed image! I would suggest blogging about it or sending me a couple of pictures so I can see it. You may just need to keep it moist longer. In what part of the country are you? (climate can play a big part in the process). Keep in touch and we’ll figure it out! Barbara

I love rusting and screen printing and never knew I could put them together. I immediately ordered some iron powder to give this a try.

But I am having one problem. My fabric is rusting all around my printed image, but the image itself is not rusting. Can you give me any pointers?

TIA, Angie
