Let's start at the beginning...
I drink Lipton iced tea and I make a gallon of tea at a time. The tea bags are 4 1/2" x 5 1/2".
I empty out the tea from the used bags and I save them. One day I got a bright ideađź’ˇto draw/paint a face on them. It turned out so dang cute that I just started made a commitment to myself to draw/paint a tea bag art every Tuesday. Thus Tea Bag Art Tuesday began. My very first tea bag art was in June 2018.
Whew that's a long time, over 6 years! One of my strengths has been tenacity☺this would be a prime example. Below is Tea Bag Art Tuesday #373!
In October, this year, I started pondering, asking myself tough questions, particularly from the artist perspective of my life. I was feeling like there is much more for me to do. It seems I yearn to be more creatively adventurous. I reckon it boils down to I'm looking for a SpArK of some sort. Anyway... it was during that time I made the decision to stop making Tea Bag Art Tuesday My rationale was that perhaps doing this every week was in some way limiting me... keeping me small and preventing me from making bigger/funner art. Here it is December, two months later, I can officially admit that kind of thinking is a bunch of bull! I missed the whole experience of painting on the tea bag every Tuesday. Being present consistently on a weekly basis is one of the best attributes of my growth as an artist. It hasn't hindered my creativity at all. It may have even enhanced it because I was consistent.!
This issue was my "stinkin thinkin"! That is what needed to change! Tea Bag Art Tuesday is back. And it felt pretty darn good creating her.
