I have been finishing off more of my little mossy tea bag embroideries this week.
These two became little ATC's!
Some close-up detail:
I'm so thrilled to have received another little batch of ATC's in the post this week - and what stunners they are - the beautiful triptych from Angela at Felix the Crafty Cat, the exquisite print of her work from Sandra de and the lovely heart from Lunch Lady Jan - thank you so much ladies!
I'm linking up with WOYWW this week and am so happy to hear that Julia is now on the road to recovery after her successful operation - sending lots of love and keep getting stronger Julia.
Delightful make and ATC's

Hi Diana, more gorgeous ATCs, lovely! Your teabag embroideries are gorgeous, makes me want to drink more tea Lol! Have a crafty and very happy WOYWW, Angela xXx 26
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........I'm in lurrrrvve. You know what I'm on about, don't you? LOL Look at that leaping hare, bounding over the gloriously green mossy grass. Completely and utterly fantastic and all on a teabag. You are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI had a Road to Damascus moment when I was cursing after spelling lavender all over the place....wouldn't it be easier, I thought, to just have a little bag of it. And so an idea was born! I used my rotary cutter to quickly cut the fabric, whizzed them around on the machine (didn't even bother turning them inside out), stuffed them with a spoonful of lavender and sewed up the opening. I did about twenty in less than 15 mins!! Result :-D

Truly... having a peek at your desk on wednesday is such a pleasure..... they are absolutely stunning. Pleased with my little craft room and nice to get rid of lots of clutter. Have a lovely week.

I would never have thought of using a tea bag but it makes the most perfect little background doesn't it. x Jo
ReplyDeleteI love these! Thanks for sharing all those photos - it's brilliant to see the close up detail. Mum shared with me the email you sent her - thanks for your lovely comments. Happy crafting, Max #31 :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, the details in these are amazing! Knowing that those are tea bags, puts the size into perspective - some of the details must be tiny! Wonderful work and beautiful ATCs received! Hope you have a lovely week! zsuzsa #32
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, oh how gorgeous are they? I smiled at the comments, I knew Jan would fall in love with the Hare!So much intricate detail, they are really stunning. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #9 xx
ReplyDeleteOh Diana, that beaded "grass" melted my heart this morning! How utterly fabulous and intricate. Each of these projects are stunning, with such amazing attention to detail. And great new loot - so pretty! Hugs, Autumn
ReplyDeleteI am in awe.. where how did you ever think of embroidering on tea bags.. such beautiful works of art! Elaine No 20.
ReplyDeleteAdore your little tea bag creations, especially the Hare one as my maiden name was HARES. Although I love the lime green velvet too. I used to do a lot of embroidery, maybe one day again. Thanks for the visit. BJ#23
ReplyDeleteWow! Absolutely gorgeous works of art! I love the hare! What you do with a tea bag! Bea<utiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW!

ReplyDeleteThe tea stained bags show off that lovely green velvet beautifully. Love the hare!
ReplyDeletebeauties, beauties!! have a great week. Helen #18
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the green. It's so very vibrant. My favourite has to be the ATC on the bottom right of the two you made. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week

What an amazing and creative artist you are! Those are simply gorgeous!!! Tea bags? Oh my heavens! I'm in awe!!! Lucky receivers of those ATC's for sure! And the ones you received are yummy as well! Blessings, Felicia #50
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.

Fabulous, Diana - I love the detail in all of these, especially the hare and that grass - heavenly!! I am obviously way behind in visits, but looking forward to catching up this evening! Lots of eye candy to linger over for sure :-) xxx Lynn
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I don't even know what to say! They're so precious and amazingly detailed. I love that rabbit, and I love what you did with the paper overlay on those two. Not to mention the moss on those ones. And the buttons - thank goodness you discovered covering your own because you just took that and ran!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work here again, the detail like always is incredible, and oh how I LOVE that hare!!
ReplyDeleteThe ATCs you received are really lovely too!
Still in love with your green velvet. They are exquisite Diana, and so inspiring. X
ReplyDeleteOh dear - almost speechless again. Miniature works of art... like Astrid, I love the hare. (My mind leapt straight to Masquerade, the original treasure hunt book, and the beautiful golden hare which artist Kit Williams had created and hidden, with clues to its whereabouts in his magical, intricate drawings. I'm sure you must know it...) You've taken teabag artwork to another level here. And how lovely to have more ATCs arriving to enjoy too.
ReplyDeleteAlison x
How utterly enchanting and stunningly exquisite these little beauties are, am blown away by your amazing creativity!
ReplyDeleteMore lovely work Diana... I especially adore that hare :)
ReplyDeleteI can tell how much you are enjoying your atc swap... thanks for sharing :)

I absolutely adore the pieces with the mossy green velvet, and especially the one with the hare - it is inspired! I don't think I'm alone in this, looking at the other comments! Hares are so special and not often seen. Do you frame your work, or exhibit it? You are very prolific and I do hope that as many people as possible get to see it.
ReplyDeleteI love the collection of ATCs too. I'm sorry I haven't been able to be involved this year. There seems to be just too much on at the moment, which in some ways is great, but at other times can be a bit frustrating!
Have a great week, and happy belated WOYWW,
Shoshi #52
I am in awe of your amazing embroidery work!!! LOVE, love love it!
ReplyDeleteLove all the ATC's I am seeing. I am so bummed that I missed the celebrations!
Happy belated WOYWW!

Hi Diana, thank you for your return visit to my blog and for leaving such a lovely comment. How funny that you got your Infusions on the same day as me! They are definitely nore subtle than brushos, and from now on I expect we'll see them making an appearance ibn a lot of mixed media projects online which will be very inspiring. I think they will be a useful addition to one's arty arsenal! I had hoped to get in the studio today but as usual something else intervened... I have also had pretty miserable experiences with craft fairs in the past - a huge amount of work for very little return, and with my limited amount of energy, I am simply not prepared to put myself through all that again! Glad you like all my new stash - some time ago I was impressed with what people were doing with oil pastels so I must do some more research into how to use them and how they relate to other products. I am very amused that your hubby calls your recipe books your fiction section lol lol lol!!! Brilliant! I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes in my gorgeous new book, but can't guarantee that they will be to the high standard of Creme de la Creme! Sometimes we need a bit of calorific indulgence, and it was quite reassuring watching the TV series where everything was so bad for one, when nearly all cookery programmes these days seem to emphasise healthy eating! Today the beautiful vintage tea service I boubht on Ebay arrived - just the thing for my baking and all the tea parties I am going to have!

SWOONING! your teabag creations are Swoon-worthy... smile. I love scrolling through your smorgasbord of candy for the eyes every week... Thank you soooo much for sharing! Happy WOYWW Scrapbook Lynne #45
ReplyDeleteWow, those little embroideries are exquisite!! So very creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting too. I love that Altenew stamp set with the matching dies. And I haven't really used those Opal Magic paints much yet, but I think they will be good :)
Have a lovely week.
It's hard for me to get my head around what size these must be if they are on teabags and then ATC's. So much detail squeezed (but not at all looking squeezed) into a tiny space. I adore your work.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome about Mark Hearld :) Try and get a hold of his book in the library (although it's DEFINITELY worth buying) it's so gorgeous.
Oh Dianna, these are so delightful and that Rabbit and the green moss creation, all just add in to make such beauty...your talent always impresses and pleases my eye~
ReplyDeleteAll, absolutely exquisite, I've seen them on pinterest and I'm long overdue visiting to admire them close up. I adore those mossy buttons...delightfil work Diana. Ruth x
