Alice Fox
Alice Fox is a textile artist that uses the natural world and organic things as her inspiration.
Rust Diaries is a series of work in which she trapped found objects in fabrics stitching around them and then leaving them exposed to the elements so that the objects rusted and coloured the cloth and thread that they were in. I saw some of this work at the exhibition Meticulous Stitchers at Unit Twelve Gallery and thought it was interesting and delicate because of the fine stitching and the patterns that were made because of the way the items had been trapped and stitched around.

Jennifer Coyne Qudeen
Jennifer Coyne Qudeen is a textiles artist that does mark making using rust. She uses wrapped gears that are left for several days to rust. These are then unwrapped leaving rusted marks. She also uses tea bags in her work. The resultant work when unwrapped leaves lovely patterns and different shades and colours of rust. This is what I like about her work the many different colours that can be obtained from rusting fabrics and the many interesting patterns and marks that are formed. I like the way a piece can be looked at more and more still finding different patterns and shades in it.
