Mixed Media - Acrylic, Watercolor, Gold Leaf & Ink On Watercolor Paper
Description
I've been working on various projects using coffee and tea... trying to recycle as much as I can. In this project, I'm using my old tea bags, in addition to using tea to paint with along with watercolor and ink.
I wanted to link the colored bags to the flavorful teas used to make this project but didn't "feel it"... There were a bunch of flavors:
* Berry tea
* Green tea
* Jasmine Tea
* Mango Tea
* Apple Tea
* Lemon Tea
* Black Tea
* Orange Spice Tea
* Cranberry Tea
* Wildflower/Lavender Tea
* Peppermint Tea
* Cinnamon Tea
This final piece was made using tea, used tea bags, acrylic, watercolor, 18K gold leaf and ink on a Canson heavyweight painted watercolor paper.

Angela L Walker replied:
Thanks so much, Sharon! I really am trying to recycle more and more... I drink a lot of tea so I needed to find something worthwhile to do with all those little bags... Think I'm going to keep painting them and make a great big TEA Collage to drape the wall of my dream kitchen... See, in my dreams, I'm going to have a big kitchen and a great big studio. LOL
