My teabag art for today is another mixed media with a butterfly as the focus

My teabag art for today - I think I rescued this one.  I'm happy with it anyway.  I had painted a floral with watercolor on the teabag and I just didn't like it.  I was going to paint over the whole thing with white gesso and start over and I looked at it and thought what if I put a circle or something over just the bloom parts and painted around it so I looked through my templates and I had a butterfly so I placed it where I wanted and painted around it with black acrylic paint.  Then I thought, ok, now what - I love the butterfly part but???  So I wrote on the black paint with a white gel pen and black ink pen and added a bit of stenciling with acrylic paint and was pleased with the results.  Funny how that happens.

My teabag art for today is an abstract

A piece of abstract art on my teabag today.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  I then used my glue gun to spread strings and globs of glue on it.  I then painted it with watercolors but the watercolor wouldn't really stay on the glue (my original idea was to have the color reflecting through theclear glue, unfortunately my glue sticks were so old they had yellowed and I didn't like the color) so I Painted the glue with acrylics and when it was dry I added glass beads and iridescent medium to the glue and beads.
