Today we are meeting in my very dark kitchen for T Tuesday. As you may know, Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month. Our theme is What's Your Style?
We've created a journal page that features a play on words.
As you can read, we named it Tea Leaves. Here are a few detail shots.
Stencils ruled this journal page. From the alphabet I used for the words to the background, I used several on this 110 lb cardstock substrate. I started by laying down three snippets of foreign book pages. Over that I glued three teabags, which qualify for T. Next, I added the gifted skeleton leaves, and finally I added the stencils and the words.Bleubeard and I hope to see you for T, but also hope you'll join us at Art Journal Journey where we're asking What's Your Style? Today my style is definitely stencils and collage.
Oh I love your tea-leaves journal page! The colour is beautiful. Great that you were able to use the letter stencils.They realy finish it off.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit behind in reading your blog and have only just read about the drug store in the Museum. That cabinet is truely amazing. I would indeed love to have that for my craft suply. Although I would have to first get a house big enough to house it!
Happ T-Day,
Lisca
Tea leaves are a good thing to use in designs. The ones I found on the web look a little different than yours, maybe there are different kinds. I had tea on my mind — my participating post has images of a Chinese tea set, and my later most, from this morning, includes a reference to bergamot-flavored tea.

ReplyDeleteFun page. I wonder what your fortune is if we could read the tea leaves. Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteLove your journal page, so beautiful wit te leaves and patterns. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't think of a more appropriate piece for T-Day! And it's beautiful. There is something about those soft browns that I really love and these all work so well together. There is great harmony there. But then, tea does bring harmony, I think!
ReplyDeleteI like the subtle colors and how you arranged the elements. Perfect for T Day :)
ReplyDeleteYour journal page is quite lovely. Wishing you both a wonderful week!

ReplyDeleteI do enjoy a cup of tea ... and I love your tea-bags/leaves page, it's amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Loved your page with the tea and skeleton leaves - I have a packet of those I've had for years and used them for many things - they are so useful. No idea where to get some when they run out as they are years old. Happy T Day Elle/EOTC xx
ReplyDeleteLovely. I am drawn to tea colored things anyway-yours are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteHow good do those leaves look against the tea bags and the stencilling. I thought they too were stencilled in some way. This is a beautiful page Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xxx
Thank you for the inspiration - I loved doing my page
