“It’s Your Time to Soar” tea tin bird

I finished another lady bird tea tin project.  For this one I used a tin that reflected my friend’s love of Earl Grey tea, the bird’s coloring is dictated by the color of the tea tin.   She has a lovely glaze of StazOn Studio Glaze in a few different colors and a whole lot of Finnabair’s Mechanicals.

I generally stamp on the birds with StazOn black ink but only a hint of that peeks out here and there.  The theme is taken from a That's Crafty, Lynne's Affirmations stamp designed by the amazing artist Lynne Moncrieff.  After painting and gluing ephemera all over the bird then I pile on tons of Microbeads and attach some bling.

 She’s flying off to Arizona tomorrow, I hope her new owner loves her as much as I do!  Thanks for stopping by, I always appreciate it.  Hugs ~ Renee

Tea art- Using every part of the tea product

Sorry I've been MIA for so long, I've had a few things that popped up over the past few months.  As I mentioned before we had the hurricane and flood drama, shortly after that I had to have surgery on my right hand.  A trip to Florida and then California for a month and finally things have settled down a bit for me. At last, I'm back in my studio.

Today I'm sharing some "tea art".  This project includes used empty tea bags, a tea tin and some loose tea.  I needed a home or a nest for a little steam punk bird I created a while back and this seemed like the perfect spot for him.

I can highly recommend Harney & Sons tea, it is delicious.  My favorite is the "Tower of London" tea in the amethyst colored tin.  This one was very nice too.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hugs ~ Renee
