Watercolor on Tea Bags
Hello Friends!
Hope you are enjoying your weekend, especially
if this is a long weekend for you!
It seems like I've been drinking a lot of tea lately, so I
thought it was time to get out my tea bags
and get creative!
This is a mixed-media piece on watercolor paper.
First, I tore pieces of the tea bags and glued them to the
watercolor paper to start my background.
This is another piece I started just today where I decided to use
a rubber stamp before applying the tea bags for added interest.
I love the color and texture the tea bags create.
After the background was dry, I started to sketch out my design.
The dragonfly is a rubber stamp.
Finally, a little simple hand stitching on linen for added texture.
The light was so beautiful and inviting on my desk today.
Oh, and don't you just love my new pencil box I got at the
second-hand store for 97 cents?
What creative things have you been doing?

Thought you might like to see one of my creative creations (from the Great Big Card Swap if you're familiar with it? - the theme is bloom). On Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24204388@N03/6037076910/in/pool-greatbigstitchedpostcardswap#/photos/24204388@N03/6037076910/in/pool-1392335@N25/
It's inspired by mixed media. I haven't actually started any pieces yet from the She Had 3 Hearts workshop, but the videos has given me so much already - love it. I love how simple and random it appears and yet so fantastic. It's made me aware of old "artistic ghosts" that I'll be more than happy to be rid of!! How did you find the workshop you participated in??
PEACE to you too.
