rust on linen and cottonFor several years Ive experimented with different materials - dyeing, printing, rusting, stitching - just to see whats possible. As I learn new things I combine them to get more depth and texture. The grayish fabric underneath was dyed with acorns and then modified with iron to deepen the color.

Textile experts & historians, this is probably a hopeless cause, but I'm wondering if it's possible to identify the pattern used on this 1970s tiger/lion.
The fabric is cotton & my mum remembers that it was bought at a church sale in Southampton. She thought handmade by parishioners, but it did have a label that has fragmented from years of love.
