My teabag art for today was inspired by Sue Kemnitz art

My last teabag for about a month - we leave tonight for the UK with our two mothers!  I decided I didn't want the pressure of having to do one everyday while we are away.  I'll just try to do some paintings in my travel art journal.  This was an unused teabag primed with clear gesso and painted with watercolor and gouache.  Details added with black ink pen and prisma watercolor pencils.  This was inspired by the art of Sue Kemnitz.

My teabag art for today is another mixed media piece.

My teabag art for today is another mixed media piece.  This was a used teabag and I have quite a bit of trouble getting these Nerada teabags apart.  The seams are sealed and I usually tear them so badly I cannot use them but this one just ended up with a hole on the side so I glued the tag to the back behind the hole.  This was painted with watercolor, gouache and prisma watercolor pencils.  Details added with black ink pen and posca pens.  I added a ribbon bow.

My teabag art for today is the dangerous Cassowary

My teabag art for today is the Cassowary - said to be the most dangerous bird in the world.  It is said that during World War II, American and Australian tropps stationed in New Guinea were warned to steer clear of them.  Not only are they frightening, but the are also out to get you.  I found this funny commentary of the bird when looking for photos as a reference - not sure who wrote it but quite funny:  Enjoy the hilarious commentary:

"The Cassowary is mostly native to the tropical forests of Australia, and it doesn't care who you are.  The Cassowary is just out to get you."  The Cassowary standing six foot tall, weighing 85kg looks like the bastard offspring of a pie and a cake.  The Cassowary is so fierce, that it holds the air hostage so it does not have to breathe.  The cassowary hates you with a deep animal hatred.  If it could, it would take away your freedom.  Injuries they cause in humans are puncture wounds, lacerations, bone fractures, post traumatic stress disorder and possible death.  Australia used to have lions who tried to hunt the Cassowary.  At present time there are no Lions in Australia.  A sure way to provoke the Cassowary is to be born."
