My nice rusted fish has had a bit of a bath ... in tea ... and is now layerd and basted for quilting.
The whiteness of the fabric above the fish was just TOO white for me and dunking it briefly in tea has greyed the rusty colours a bit and has given the background a touch of lavender-grey. The lighter rusty areas around the fish image have become quite grey and looks like a shadow ... I quite like the effect!
Now to decide just how I am going to stitch it! The fish is 24" x 12" so this will take a while to accomplish all the hand work that I am considering for it.
