My teabag art for today. I did this one as if it were on a journal page.

"View the world from two Standpoints".  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  The background was created with watercolor and then was stamped with a text stamp.  I then used the Dina Wakley mask Funky slhouettes to create the outline for the figure and applied acrylic paints through the mask.  I also used various stencils and stamps.  I die cut some circles and arrows out of gelli prints.  I used Posca pens, liquid black ink, and the title was torn out of a piece of tissue paper and applied with matte medium.
