    Lengths of white ribbon and fabric strips beckon to be marked with rusted objects. Keys, safety pins, small washers, and other rusted relics will be bundled with the ribbon and steamed to leave their symbolic mark. Perhaps you have a small rusted relic of sentiment you want to bring. Some bundles will get leaves, flower petals, and onion skins added for color and other interesting details. Ribbon and fabric strips can be used in many ways in mixed media art from jewelry to book ties, flower pins to clothing adornment. When you leave class you will have a nice pile of unique ribbon to use in your special projects.
