The lowly tea bag, when dried and emptied, becomes the foundation for a precious piece of art. Each tea bag will be collaged using special, hand–painted papers cut into realistic or abstract shapes. The addition of free-motion machine sewing and hand stitching will unify your collection and when strung together will become a wondrous art work. However, if you’d prefer, this project can be beautifully made without any sewing at all. A mini wooden spool or a tiny wire hanger will serve to suspend your column of images telling your own unique tale.
