* 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=

A jester, fool or joker was a member of the household of a nobleman or a monarch employed to amuse and entertain guests. Several years ago I was a guest visiting artist friend @lesliemorganart and getting my hands dirty at her custom built studio (with all the space, tools, bells and whistles an artist could wish for) set among the towering redwoods on Bonny Doon mountain. Leslie at that time was an artist in residence in the Santa Cruz Recycled Art Program and had collected a bunch of random rusty bits from the SC dump to create assemblage works for a residency show. A bucket full of bits that she didn't plan on using had been set aside for my rummaging and I pulled out several items that caught my eye. I also found, in an abandoned goat shed, old weathered planks from a fence post that had a nice patina and interesting, geometric cuts. And of course I was carrying on me a bisque doll head, because....well you just never know when you might need one. On a misty afternoon in the woods, I put them all together and voila, a jester was born. Leslie's birthday was this past Monday so I want to send out belated birthday wishes and thank her again for all her generous hospitality back in those Bonny Doon days.

Unloading 16yrs of #stuff from the #avalanche produced quite a #gathering (not a #collection) of #sparklies, #rustybits, #foundobjects, #doodads and #coins, most of which was stuck together with gummy #icetea and #shopdoghenry hair... #mycurse #anybodyelsedothisorisitjustme (at WhirlyPig Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JNo9qpCYR/?igshid=18l4oazjx07sv

* I think these fabric wrapped coils are ready to dry and unwrap. When my dad passed away back in 2014, I inherited his rusty bits collection. He would walk for miles and one of his favorite paths was along the railroad tracks, he found lots of good stuff there. Having this part of him to remember him by makes me happy. Little did he know I would put them to good use : ) Thanks Pop! 💙❤️💚 * * #rust #rustybits #rustdyebath #rustporn #littlebooks #handmadebooks #artbook #artistbooks #junkjournal #junkjournals #mixedmediaartjournal #textileart #fiberartbook #artistbook #bookarts #bookart #bookmaker #mixedmediaart #artjournal #artjournaling #visualjournaling #textured #handstitched #littlebooks #creativejournaling #handstitching #artbooks #instinctualstitching #handmadejournals #socalartist #beatrizhelton https://www.instagram.com/p/CYnIwG8JVpn/?utm_medium=tumblr
