What do you think this is?

Experimental art this week is all about photography. We're immersed in reflections and tricks of light. Earlier in the week, I captured some fairy magic glinting at me through the trees, but today we stayed at home and relaxed over...


... a refreshing cup of tea



Yesterday, I tried in vain to 'do art'. Nothing was working, the Muse was out with her mates. All I wanted to do was paint a pretty picture of an orange lady ready for Summer of Colour on Monday and a dainty array of afternoon tea for Inspiration Avenue. I just made a mess. So instead, I played with photographs. The Muse came back from her night out and took a great interest, peering over my shoulder at the screen and making suggestions. I've never been one for reading tea leaves before, but this looks like an interesting story to follow up! Can you see the winged creature hovering over the brown speckled tea in the one above?

  1. Great images, Lisa. You captured the bubbles and the reflections in the tea wonderfully. Sounds like a fun class.

  2. Cute and clever story. It made me laugh. Love the tea leaves and the rest of the photos in this post. Nice job, especially now that your muse has returned home.

  3. This is such a cool entry for the theme this week. I love the development of the photos. Each one is unique and could be something very different. I love how my mind tried to create something with each photo that was very different until the last. And your story is fun to read along with it.

  9. Wow those images are so unusual and clever! If I hadn't known the challenge theme I wouldn't have guessed your photos were of tea - I can just see little winged creatures with bubbly eyes! Very original!

  10. I can, she is a tea angel and has been blowing bubbles at you. You should not let her go. You must keep your tea by your bed and allow her to influence your dreams. It is written in the leaves.
