M Y O W N I D E A S
After previously experimenting lots I was about to give up and move onto something else as I was happy with what I had produced. However, today I came home to find 4 boxes of unused fruit tea about to go in the bin and I couldn't resist the temptation of more experimenting.
I had 4 different flavours of fruit tea available to use, these were fennel and nettle, summer berries, cinnamon and lemon and honey.
I used 4 cups of hot water (a colour per cup) and put several bags of each colour into the cups to allow the colours to be the most vibrant they possibly could. I found that the cinnamon cup and the berries cup turned the same colour and so I was left with only three colours; cerise, green and yellowy brown. However, I accidentally dropped spilt some water onto a pink one and I found that it turned lilac as shown in the image below
I dried them thoroughly and then took the tea out of them. This same week I had ordered a book which I received and was water damaged and so I couldn't use it, this gave me the idea to fill the tea bags with the images from the book as it was going to be thrown away.
I ended up with 54 tea bags which I was really pleased with and glad I experimented. I then stitched them all together.
