Or something unexpected could happening.
I have been rusting paper, mostly newsprint packing paper with nice results.
This is a detail of a piece of rusted paper with embroidered code.
The result of a piece of newsprint laid on top of wet rusty nails and weighted with a brick.
A wallpiece in progress that is in the process of rusting.
Newsprint with a solution of peroxide and sodium.
The unexpected result–I was planning to make a couple of pieces similar to the Indelible Mark detail.
I cut and folded paper from a drawing pad that I picked up at Five Below.
I was expecting lovely rust and this is what happened–
White paper wrapped around newsprint–
Immediately thought the sizing in the paper was the reason for the peculiar rust color.
When I applied peroxide and sodium to a scrap of the white paper, this is what happened–
Lesson Learned–Always, always test new materials.
There are two thing that matter. The thing you did that cannot be undone. The thing you did not do, that you should have done.

I use an old version of Flash for layouts.
Materials–paper, rust, linen, bamboo, hairpins, CMC.
Scale–12.5″ x 39″ (62″ unrolled”) x 3.5″ rolled (.75 unrolled).
I am using the quote on a wallpiece in progress. Bought heavy cardstock for book covers. This little book was my first attempt. The cardstock is 110 lb. Really too thin for when I start making larger books. My plan is to use my favorite old studio shirts, rips and all, as book cloth.

Pretty sure the next code I use, will be based on dots and dashes of Morse Code. I would like to fill the pages with text.
This code is nice because it has one symbol for each letter. In Morse there are dots, dashes, and combinations of one to four for each letter. Numbers contain five, and punctuation six.
Update
Didn’t like that the inside strips were glued. Stitching is a better idea.
