Teabag Series 01 and 02

Teabag Series 01


Teabag Series 02

I started this series with teabags that I had adhered together with matte medium.  I then added Japanese ledger paper underneath the tea bag pieces.  As you can see the teabags were transparent.  I used Stablio Woodies, acrylic dendrites, stamps, vintage photographs, stamps, and stitchery in each piece.  I will talk more about the process in future blog entries.

The series started out as a series of 25 which really became 30 or 31, I may have miscounted.  I made the series to send to Germany for an art exchange.  I liked the series so much that I did not want to part with the collages.  So what to do.  The thought of making 25 more seemed a bit much.  An art friend suggested making ten more and then decide which to keep and which to send.  Well, I made  25 more so the series actually has 55 or 56 collages.  My plan is to select the 25 to keep and the rest can depart for Europe soon.  I want to make a clamshell box for the 25 that I keep.

Hey, these are fabulous.
How large are they? What is the substrate?
On top of that you put the Japanese? Then the tea bags?
Look forward to learning more.
