T Stands For Coffee Anyone?

Before we begin, if you have received one of my tip-ins and/or a small gift from me in the past, I have to apologize.   You know who you are, so I'll get right to it.  My sewing machine had a meltdown, so to speak.  I thought I had it fixed to where it would make it through the holiday, then I lost a screw and now the machine won't sew at all.  Since all my tip-ins and all my art quiltlets require sewing, I have to figure out which size screw I need and try to hunt one down.  That means, except for Halle whose tip-in is on the way, you may or may NOT get your gift before Christmas.

Today we are  meeting in my dining room for T Tuesday.

Because Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month with our themes My Favorite Season, or 'Tis the Season, we believe any and every season is a good season for coffee.

However, I tried to make this look like a 4th of July celebration

with a background of fireworks and the colors of the U.S.A. flag.  It also works for the British flag.

Although you can't tell, I used white water soluble crayon on the interior of all the cups, including the one on top.  I now realize I should have picked a darker color for the top cup.  Live and learn, I guess.  I cut a template and used it to create the stacked cups and saucer.  I used paint chip samples because they are very heavy.  The background was swiped with various colors of dye ink added to a wet baby wipe.  The computer generated words were colored using water soluble crayons and affixed to the 110 lb card stock using a glue stick.

It's now time for you to share your own drink related post.  Feel free to discuss anything. Your post may include photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed media, fiber art, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Then, please link your story below.  The photos don't have to be taken on Tuesday, and can relate to anything with a drink.  Please use the direct link to your T post, not your blog in general, so we can find you easily.



Bleubeard and I are so happy you chose to join us for T today and hope you'll also join us at Art Journal Journey where our themes are Favorite Season or 'Tis the Season.
