Thanks to Melissa from Sktchy for her inspirational photo.  My painting is in homage to all the tea bag artists out there! I like to re-use and recycle in my art so I wanted to try my teabag.  I forgot to iron it before I painted the gouache on it.  I tried after but I still couldn't flatten it out completely, so it wIll have to do.  I'm not a huge tea drinker but I like to make a switch from coffee in the afternoon. There is a lot going on here with the Faber Castell gelato water soluble crayons, light molding paste and found papers, and some marks made with a handmade white eraser stamp. I like her beautiful and calm face ignoring the chaos on the two page spread.
