Painting with used tea bags!

  Margaret and I had the pleasure of attending a water colour instruction course run by Jackie Devereaux, a watercolour artist who lives in France. We were both very impressed with her style of teaching and the wide range of elements of watercolour painting she was able to cover in a very short space of time.

One very interesting element of the course was her introduction to the assembled class of  
an unusual idea and technique of painting on used tea bags. Jackie said the idea came out of Africa.
"First take a tea bag-, make and drink and enjoy a refreshing cup of tea.
Keep the used tea  bag and cut its top off, open the bag, empty the dregs of tea and rinse the bag.
Leave the bag to dry, then glue the bag to a piece of paper  and begin to paint on it"

Here are some of the results! Very interesting and lovely effects.
