My garment was buried about 50cms - 30cms below the surface of mygarden - it was very easy to dig up because of the large rainfall we recieved at home.. so the garment was very wet and smelly when it came out of the ground......
Sorry about the large amount of photos but this is the short list!
The Linen shirt - it deteriorated very fast, it was coming apart everywhere and was easily ripped. I also put lupin seeds in with the shirt (the yellow and white sprouts you can see) which started growing on and around the linen.
Lupins growing into the shirt...
Lots of worms were in the soil!
The dirt made some fabulous colours in the polyester chain dress...
The linen breaks apart in my hands.
Silk/Cotton blend is quite fragile as well
Cotton Cheese cloth is much more resilent than i first thought.
Im not actually sure what made this stay white - possibly the organic fertilizer?
The creases in the fabric once the dirt was put on has left some parts quite pale in colour.
The Linen:
The Polyester undergarment - I love the pattern from the dirt with the black seams
The dress once pulled from the ground - getting left to dry....
