However, I have been known to reach out into the street to retrieve something. <br /><br />Happy 2013!

If you've got a few rusty washers, vinegar and/or tea, fabric, plastic baggies and a bit of patience, you can rust. <br /><br />Eco dyeing needn't take a lot of space either. I've been dyeing a cloth with pomegranate juice simply by placing it under the pomegranate when slicing it open. I figure it should be pretty interesting after we eat a few more. <br /><br />Happy rusting!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10927317459104273331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143591766928521449.post-26960284936928035572012-12-30T12:24:35.795-05:002012-12-30T12:24:35.795-05:00I have this image of you dodging cars to retrieve ...I have this image of you dodging cars to retrieve your treasure!
