This is my teabag art for today - the colorful houses/shops in Burano, Italy - the home of Italian Lace making. We saw a demonstration of the centuries old way they make this lovely lace. Each lady has a 9 year apprenticeship to become an expert at one particular stitch. It is then passed to other ladies for them to add their design until the piece is finished. This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache. Details added with black permanent ink pen.
