paperlicious: recycling teabags

(stitched teabag paper, teabag tag, teabag string)

I ran out of the tea stained muslin scraps for my Gulf Spill Quilt
so I reused the teabags themselves
and the tags
and the string

Here is Mr. Brown Pelican:

Today Rebecca @ recuerda mi corazon is hosting a fun papertrail
reveal your favorite paper art
(your own or someone else's)
paper touches us all
folded
torn
stained
painted
sketched
written
crumpled
decayed

That's a fun idea. I love all the subtle colors of the tea dyes, and they are just perfect with your watercolor drawings. It's a beautiful piece.
