One of Each
I'm up to my neck in book-work detritus (printing fairy tales on old teabags...what?!), so I'm pulling a couple from the archives. I'll try and do a bespoke piece later this week.
Yup, another harebrained idea which is actually turning out pretty cool. I printed some old travel postcard images on used teabag papers (large ones about 4-1/2 x 8" that I emptied, dried and ironed) and now I'm making some fairy tale style silhouettes and collaging those onto the printed teabags. Plan is to turn these into a little artist's book, maybe with words, maybe not. I loaded a couple pages onto my Flickr pages if you're interested (www.flickr.com/photos/paperworker).
Glad you posted these...they are FAB!
ReplyDeleteAND printing fairy tales on old tea bags????? Please post one of those! (Are they used?) I cannot imagine.
Love them both! And I agree with Angie, would love to see your printed tea bags.
