Illustration Friday - Tea
I thought I would experiment with tea staining. I started with 4 different teas and made a concentrated brew.

So then I did an old english tile design and painted it with the tea stains. The green tea was most disappointing as it produced just a hint of pigment. Maybe next week the topic will be beets and I can REALLY go to town.

Thanks for looking.

such a great idea - I would never have thought about doing that
Beets! LOL! But I do like the delicacy of this design.
I love the subtle colours - bet it smells good. Great choice of design also!
Very cool!
