So, I finally framed my vault boy cross stitch. Used PC stitch to design it from a photo. (I have since lost those files in a crash).
The frame was shiny aluminum, but fitting Fallout, I used salt ado hydrogen peroxide to rust it. I love the effect. It's hanging with my vault-tech lunchbox and bobbleheads now in my gaming area!

I absolutely love this! What a perfect frame for that stitch, and such a great idea to rust it up

Re: Vault Boy stitch
Thanks! I have to give my husband some credit. I was contemplating plain black frames and he said "what about this". I was all, "OMG, Yes! That would be perfect! I wonder if we can make it look rusty?!" I would have left with the boring option if he hadn't thought of this one!
That which does not kill me shall regret ever having tried.
