Hello my Lovelies, it's Tues. evening, I had to quickly take a pic before I get back there... I'll keep it short and sweet for my favorite snoop tour, no not snoop dog, but a peek at what other artist are creating and the Sweetest hostess Miss Julia here, grab a cuppa and head over if you want get inspired....
Last week I fly over to the Lovely Shoshi,( love her name) she is a tea bag lover too, she says she drops her used tea bags on paper and you get some lovely staining, I used a piece of water color paper dropped my bags and also put my tea dyed gauze on there I'm in love with that paper can't wait to play with it..
The box for the book, I've got it ready to gold leaf the feathers..
I'll get back to that now. I'll fly around the world visiting all those fabulous Deskers after swimming, thanks for dropping in my nest, hope you all have a wonderful day... ((( BIG HUGS )))
NAMASTE!!!

the box will be beautiful
Oh wow, Dianne, that box is gorgeous. For whatever reason, my internet has decided to be slow, so I'll be back to see the fiber feathers--you'd think the first photo would load first?
And I'm going to try the teabag trick--we have some raspberry hibiscus tea that is a beautiful color, so we'll see!
(The books are so tiny, it doesn't take long to make several!)
Thank you for all your encouraging words, Dianne--I appreciate your visit to Unruly Paper Arts, it's always a little intimidating to me to post on other blogs!
PS--fed your fish for you while waiting for the feather photo to come up . . .
Happy WOYWW to you,

I am so excited at those feathers, they appear to be so realistic it is astonishing!
Also, tea bags - I am not be a tea drinker but you do know how I love to use tea to stain anything and everything and it is so addictive. That paper is most beautiful, it looks to me like a very expensive handmade paper you purchase in expensive stores.
You certainly have been having lots of fun!

beautiful and you are so crafty
Wow, Dianne, can't believe I missed this! Too busy being a hamster, I guess! Well, I'm feeling a lot better and just drooling over those gorgeous feathers! Your desk is truly magical. I love, love, love the teabag idea! What a wonderful abstract pattern it makes! A visit to your desk is better than medicine. I've been a bit unwell and so busy, but I hope to be back desking again very soon and I shall be winging my way by you to see what you are up to most definitely! Don't want to miss anything!

Those feathers you have created are sublime...so very sacred and special! Yay..me too I am a fan of using tea bags for staining..it is awesome..and you have created magic once again..love the colors..!
Wishing you a fantastic week my fiend...and thanks for always shining light into my world..it is deeply appreciated and treasured!
Just reading through this again and see that I missed your reference to my teabag art! Thanks! I love the paper you have created. I didn't think of drying my tea-dyed fabric on watercolour paper... next time! It's a real waste-not, want-not project, this teabag art lol!
Your box is so exquisite and I love the subtle colouring.
