My teabag art is another mixed media piece about travel

Another mixed media piece for my teabag today.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with acrylic paints.  Details added with paint through various stencils.  I usedthe dark blue paint watered down to color the cheesecloth.  I then added a small photo of a building in Prague by stitching it on my sewing machine and also stitched the word travel on muslin on my machine.  Very similar colors to the teabag yesterday but instead of Charcoal gray as my "dark" I used a color called Soldier Blue.

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.

Abstract Acrylic Paint Art journal page

I just finished this page in my Dina Wakley journal - this was on the inside of the front cover.  I used Acrylic paints, black liquid acrylic, a shipping tag, cotton crochet yarn, Prima stamp set, typewriter and silhouette cameo - process video on my youtube channel is here

My teabag art for today - mixed media bird on a used teabag

My teabag art for today.  This was a used teabag primed with clear gesso.  The background was created with Dina Wakley scribble sticks in browns and greens and cheddar.  When dry I lightly stamped text in the background with Tim Holtz archival ink.  I cut out the birds on branches on my silhouette cameo in brown cardstock and applied that.  Then I made a little grouping of a small envelope with tag and applied a hexagon, moss, raffia, branch, and bird.  The word was a clear sticker applied to white cardstock.

My teabag art for today is a used teabag primed with clear gesso - the highlight a crossed stitched computer with mouse

My teabag art for today.  I cross stitched a computer and mouse, note, coffee cup and doughnut on perforated paper.  I primed the background of the teabag with clear gesso then applied torn pieces of a gelli print to the background with matte medium, added a piece of netting that came off of a bag of fruit and a leftover piece of jute, stitched the text on my sewing machine on muslin and applied all to the bag with gel medium.  I have a youtube video on how it came together and a link to a cross stitch chart I made to stitch the small image.  Video and link to cross stitch chart

My teabag art for today - another abstract made using Dina Wakley Scribble Sticks


My teabag art for today.  I wasn't really able to get a good image on this one.  It has silver embossing powder and silver metallic rub ons added but one image looks dull and pewter-like and the other has too much reflection.  

This was a used teabag unprimed and the background was made with Dina Wakley scribble sticks - once dry I added strips of patterned tissue paper with matte medium and dried this.  I then dyed some muslin fabric circles with scribble sticks and applied with gel medium.  These were outlined with night scribble stick and Stabilo all pencil and activated with water.  I stamped some circles with versamark ink pad and Dina Wakley scribbly circles background stamp and applied silver embossing powder and heat set.  Then I rubbed on some silver metallic rub ons in and around the circles.  I added a bit of doodling with posca pens.
