Teabag Art, Silk Paper and Beyond the Enclosure Project

It's time for WOYWW again and this week I have been using some of the silk paper I made last week, and continuing with an old theme I often come back to about garden history - there are links back to some older work here and here for any one interested.  I have also had a yearning to play about with teabags for quite a while, since seeing a whole table of them drying and waiting to be used over at Shoshi's blog!

  2. Well, those are the most gorgeous teabags I've ever seen (never thought I'd find myself typing those words, but there you go!), the detail in the embroidery is quite wonderful. I love the colours and textures you achieve :-)

  7. Oh! Teabags, love them. I have used them to give texture to my journal pages. Your stitching on them looks great.
    Thanks for visiting me and happy crafting, Angela x 36

  9. Oooh Diana, your teabags are gorgeoso. I think I might have started something!! So far I haven't had a chance to do much with mine apart from a bit of experimental inking and stamping, and of course Zentangles on the marks left by drying teabags. I love teabags and hate to think of the vast majority of them being thrown away when they could be used for Art!! I love your embroidery - so intricate and delicate. Just great.

    Thank you for your nice comment. What I love about charity shop rummaging is that you never know what you are going to find! So much more fun than regular shopping. My felt class went really, really well tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and am very pleased with the piece I made. I will be blogging very soon about it.

    Happy WOYWW,

  12. How beautiful!!! I love the colors and details against those humble tea-stained filters, and then to have the four small little works of art just simply laid out against that plain white paper is stunning. Really amazing work.
