Preschool art with tea bags is the ultimate process art! It also involves fine motor and using the sense of smell. AND, it's super easy to set up!
Apparently, there are many different ways to keep a diary and this unique artist from New York, Ruby Silvious, has discovered an amazing one. While some of us tend to throw away used tea bags after finishing our tea, Silvious reuses them... as canvases for her miniature paintings.

Art, it is all in the eye of the beholder so I’m told. And this form of art is definitely something you either appreciate or don’t. I find the use of a material that we would normally d…
I drink hot tea and I like lots of different flavors. I buy different brands, like Stash, Steep, or Twinings. All three brands have tea bags that are the same size, no staples, and have similar texture. Since I drink so much tea, it always pains me to throw out the used tea bags (I think “Oh no, th

Libby Williamson is a fabulous teacher, as she proved once again in her Tea Bag Revival class at Artistic Artifacts on Sunday. (She also taught a 2-day Paint and Stitch class on Friday and Saturday.) Sue was in the Sunday class with 2 friends from out of town - all 3 of us took the 2-day class 2 years ago. Libby's art and style is very intuitive and whimsical - very "throw out the rules and make up your own", so there's no pressure to be perfect. She creates a fun and relaxed environment to try something new. The focus of the class was using tea bags (steeped, dried and emptied) as the foundation for collaged art. Here's Libby with one of her sample quilts. The brown squares you see are the tea bags. In the foreground of this photo, you can see some of the prepared tea bags. The tea bags are fused to a muslin base to stabilize them for sewing. Here Libby demonstrates the process for emptying the tea bags and fusing them to the muslin. This is another of Libby's samples. Enlarge the photos to get a better look at the mini collages. We used small pieces of fabric and painted papers to create the collages, which are machine stitched with black thread and also embellished with hand embroidery. These are Sue's tea bag collages. All the pieces are "glued" to the bags with matte medium which has to dry before proceeding. The stitching is kind of intuitive, some just outlining and/or keeping with the mostly geometric shapes. These are the machine stitched collages. There are 6 more in addition to the original group of 12. The next step is adding hand stitching. These are the collages Denise is working on. And here are Paula's collages. Aren't they both great? Libby did some instruction on how she arranges them on the background, as well as adding some other fabrics under and between some of them. After some additional stitching at home, Sue finished the embroidery on 12 collages. She is working on 4 more for a grid of 16. Then it will be time to play with adding some additional fabrics to the background and stitching it all together. There will likely be more hand stitching as well. Stay tuned for more on the final product. This was a fun class and we highly recommend Libby as a teacher. She teaches all over the country, so if she's ever in your area, sign up! Libby's website is called Art Soup and you can also follow her on Facebook to see what she's up to. If you're a subscriber of Quilting Arts, she been a cover girl and has articles in 3 issues - June/July 2017, April/May 2018, August/September 2018. Check them out!

Have you seen Armén Rotch’s tea bag art yet? (Pictured above if you haven't.) They look a little like pixilated landscapes that, apparently, smell
Tea bag tea is always inferior to loose leaf tea. The tea that goes into bags is called dust, and quite literally includes particles that fall to the floor and are swept up during machine processing. There is no delicate way to put it - dust grade tea is the cheap left overs. We are yet to come across tea bag tea that
