- How it went and where it might go

Yesterday Jude suggested a tea moon and my mind jumped to a tea sunrise ...


made by clamping two quarters onto a bright yellow patch of linen (like the one below left), then placing a wet Bigelow Constant Comment tea bag on top and letting it dry in hopes of pulling some rose-y stained layers ...

Picture taken after drying ... the tea bag was initially upright on the linen patch

And while it wasn't exactly what I was after, still it may fit in to what is growing in my mind ...


More on those blue squares later ...

    oh I love the tea sunrise! and I love constant comment tea, although it is really difficult to get here (Northern Canada). I enjoyed visiting and seeing your beautiful patches. I love the colours and the stitch marks. Thanks for visiting my blog too.

      Your bowls drew me in ... I'm looking forward to more exploring. Somewhere down the line I see paper and cloth merging for me, but just how is still a mystery. Fortunately, I'm in no rush.

    What a great idea, coins for a moon! I tryed smal magnets, but the contures are not so clear. Back home now, I'm looking forward to try some dyeings. Your different small and bigger patches look beautiful.

      Thank you ... I'm still finding my way with the variable size patches, but they're starting to come together.

    The strips are instantly captivating with their variations in color and size. Where to next? I can hardly wait.

    For some reason Dana's comment posted to my email, but not here. So on her behalf:

    "The strips are instantly captivating with their variations in color and size. Where to next? I can hardly wait."

    To which I would respond:

    I'm finding I need to make more patches to do some filling in.

      Next I'm going to see how I might use other dyestuffs to achieve this.
