A Passion for Rust!

A large group of Fiberians with a passion for rust gathered on a beautiful May day in Barb's shady backyard and dipped a variety of papers in solutions and wrapped rusty things in vinegar and water soaked cloth. And relaxed in the shade, chatting and drinking lots of tea and coffee. We were so pleased to have three very welcome Ayr ladies join us and look forward to seeing more of them soon.                           

Mouths were kept as busy as hands! Annette's partook of some well-deserved refreshment while Birte's teeth helped out when she ran out of hands.

Thank you Barb for mixing all those tubs of solution and for hosting such an enjoyable rustathon and Annette S for sharing her cloth rusting prowess with us.
