Progress on Found, Stitched and Dyed T-shirt

Tea is an important part of my life and I've dyed fabric with the dregs of my morning cuppa ever so often so I decided to dye part of the t-shirt with tea.
One sleeve was put into the vessel containing the tea decoction and left to boil for about twenty five minutes.
The results of simply dipping and dyeing.
The overall appearance of the t-shirt now reminds me of the sky so I'm going to call this piece The Firmament.

Rust

Attempting rust dyeing for the first time.
Flattened beer caps, not rusty but I'm hoping the wet t-shirt and vinegar will do the trick.
Wet T-shirt, beer caps and vinegar all rolled up and marinating in a plastic bag for a week.

Sun Spots

The scarves I embroider have the ends tasseled.
The first step in creating tassels is to unravel the weft. The unravelling leaves you with masses of yarn perfect for embroidery.
The sun peeped out from behind the clouds this morning after days and I decided to embroider sun spots with the weft yarn on the stained t-shirt making progress on the found, stitched and dyed project.
