Tea Washes, works in progress by Amy Crook

Tea Washes, works in progress by Amy Crook

In the spirit of exploration, and because it’s something I drink nearly every day, I decided to make up a very strong little cup of tea and experiment with using it as a wash. I used two different kinds of paper, and only added salt to one of the pieces, over-wetting the other two so they could air dry overnight into interesting patterns. Once I see how I like the effect, perhaps I’ll try a few more.

I’ve also left the tea, which you can see in its little dish on the right, to strengthen overnight so I can do a few more experiments.

Sherlock and John cartoon by Amy Crook

Sherlock & John by Amy Crook

Just a cheery little cartoon for your Monday – John with his tea and Sherlock in his thinking pose, the two of them content with their lot. I’m thinking of doing a b&w version of this one on a little Moleskine, but for now, you can enjoy an iPhone wallpaper of them, if you like. I am!

eat ZOMBIE love

eat ZOMBIE love

Some days I’d rather make art than an art post — enjoy this mod of my newest tin of tea, and I’m gonna go make a cup and paint. (For the record, I didn’t really want to support the franchise, but it’s Blood Orange Cinnamon tea from my favorite tea people, so I crumbled.)
