The freezer paper templates are ironed onto the fabric and placed in the protective tray for rust pigmentation. 21. Scientific iron filings are carefully sprinkled into the cutouts of the freezer paper. 22. Water is carefully sprayed onto each template. 23. Table salt is then sprinkled over each template. 24. More water is lightly sprayed onto the templates over the next twelve (12) hours. 25. The next day, the rusting has taken place and this is what you have. 26. Hand Quilting Process After the fabric has been thoroughly cleaned by hand and machine to remove all of the iron filings and to stop the rusting process, the artwork is ready for the next phase. The Hand Quilting phase takes the longest. For this particular piece, it was 227 hours. 27. Relative size of the needle used for hand quilting. 28. Palette of thread colors used to create my artwork. 29. Detail image of the hand stitching. 30. Back view of Artwork 31. Detail image of the back side of the artwork. 32.
