Wonderful Rice Papers and Some More Teabag Stain Doodles

Rice Paper Most of the papers I ordered have now arrived, and I am just waiting for a few stragglers. I ordered mostly rice paper, with some napkins thrown in for good measure - I found a shop online where you can buy single napkins for creative purposes, rather than having to buy…

At Last! An Inkpad Storage Solution that Works! – and More Teabag Stain Doodles

Inkpad Storage For many years, I have been looking for a solution to the inkpad storage problem. Many people have beautiful wooden shelf units with them all on display on the wall, but I have not got room for that, and those units are very exensive, and not expandable. Several years ago I…

Pink Teabags, Grey Stains and the Completion of Teabag Mini-Album #1

The Results of my fruit "tea" experiments All the papers and teabags from the fruit "tea" experiment are now dry. They didn't take as long as I thought they would. The ones at the bottom of the pile in the sink were stuck on and some of them ripped when I got them…

2nd Post – Flower Pressing and More Work on Teabag Mini-Album

Well, I have been busy. I can't remember the last time I did two posts in one day! Pressed into service Thinking about my larger teabag mini-albums, I thought it would be fun to add some pressed flowers and leaves. Several years ago I bought a second-hand flower press on Ebay, not with…

An Interesting Experiment with Unexpected Results – Dyeing Paper

Dyeing paper with fruit "tea" I hesitate to call this stuff tea because it isn't. I have never liked it - far too fragrant and sweet for my taste. I also really dislike herb "teas," most of which taste like dead grass. I prefer a cup of real tea, my favourite being Lapsang…

Teabag Mini-Albums and Teabag Stain Doodles

Teabag Mini-Albums Yesterday I continued working on the teabag mini-albums, beginning with one of the small ones - I've decided to make two rather than one with the backgrounds that I have made. I was in a bit of a quandry what to do with these very small pages, because once I'd done…

Teabag Mini-Albums – Inked Backgrounds

Teabags, doodles and inky backgrounds It's so lovely to be back doing teabag art again - it's been years, literally. I've decided to make some teabag mini-albums. I made the first lot of page backgrounds yesterday but forgot to photograph them - photo a bit further down this post. When I had made…

New Highlighting Technique, Mixed Media Experiments, Floral Fest and Teabag Doodles

I've been busy this week! Highlighting magic As I mentioned in my previous post, I discovered a brilliant new tip for highlighting drawings and paintings recently. In common with many others, I have struggled for years with this because most white pens don't live up to expectations - they are either too watery…

More Drawings – Inspiration from YouTube, and Vitamix News

New drawings Recently I found some YouTube videos with lots of inspiration, so I played them, stopping often and copying down various motifs and ideas for use in my own projects. One video was of a riot of different flowers connected by different border strips and background fills - plenty of material here…
