Have you ever tried using tea-stains for your art works? It's quite cool. One of my favorite illustrators online, Amalia K. uses a lot of this technique. She creates so many beautiful artworks from her giving heart and soulful imaginations. I've never actually tried this tea-stains until today... Actually, I'm having a bit of flu and was told to rest.. then I imagined it'll be nice to curl in my bed.. like a little birdie in its nest- which brought me to this idea for Creative Everyday Challenge this month- NEST! Wohoo!
So, before I took my rest, here it goes..
And below was the outcome.. after a little watercolor touch on it..
The tea-stains were quite classic and nice, huh...? Well, I like it :). This was a good experimentation.
Now, I can go to bed.
Enjoy!

Hi ET
Good experiment. I used to work with clay, and would soaked my fired wares in tea and coffee to get the old-ish look (most effective for crackled glazes), and not have to worry about colours being toxic :)
I did once with my leftover coffee, love the smell too hehehe..
Evelyn > wow! How interesting!! hey, thanks for coming by :).. if you're travelling somewhere out there, take care!
artventurekids > oh yess! i love coffee smell... maybe i should try coffee stain later too! can i see your work. pleeeeaze ninja! :)

Hi ET.. malulah nak tunjuk my work setakat conteng2 jer... i'm actually trying out some food color for the class, grape pun cantik tapi yang darker tone, bukan yang gemuk2 tu..
Shareh- thanks!!!
AVK- ooo..wat experiment utk kelas eh? Last time I ada gak wat artwork guna 'natural' colors for a small group art exhibition. Interesting colors I saw other artists used- ie. from 'tanah', 'pottu'- ini yg org india buh kat dahi tu, 'kunyit'... now, if only I could find the pictures to show.
Hi Et! Wow, the painting looks great. I'm glad you tried the tea staining...fun isn't it? Thanks for linking to me, you're so sweet. :)
Yes! Yess! So much fun, Amalia :) Thanks 2 u too, dear.
