You have no idea how long it took me to come up with something for this week's Inspiration Ave challenge on 'tea'. Should I collage a neat little teacup? How about using tea as paint? Will there be a tea dance perhaps?Or shall I throw all three together? Ah, why not!
Collaged on a sheet of music, dabbed with gesso, collaged some more, splatted with a hot tea bag, edged with charcoal pencil, thrown into photoshop for some extra grunging and text addition - I haven't started my 'neat & artistic writing' course yet, so needed some help!
I like throwing teabags at my art. It's great fun, you should try it!

This is great, as many layers as a cream puff, and now I need a cup of tea to wash it down :)
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't I think of that? I needed to throw some things this week, but I doubt that mine would have turned out as lovely as yours!
ReplyDeleteVery clever and nicely done!
I think I will try the tea bag technique next time..just for fun! :D
ReplyDeleteI love all the layers and depth to this one! Each element merges into one image yet manages to stand on it's own as a part of the comp. Gorgeous- and I really like that you "painted" with tea as well!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderfull, such a fantastic glow in it, from the tea-love the background and distressed beauty.
