Tea bags and feathers ..... serious fun. Nothing profound here but the little books I am making for the Open Days are going to be quite cute I think .....
This is a prototype and needs some work - not much though as these are really just a bundle of feathers forming a book and I don't want them to look more contrived.
Your feathers are lovely, Susan, and I love the "ruffled" effect of the book seen from the side - the wavy page edges are very reminiscent of feathers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa. You are right about the ruffled edges and as time goes by the pages sink and curl a little more which gives these little tea bag books a really soft 'fluffy' look. Now I just need to improve the feather prints and I am set to make more.
DeleteHi SB - looks gorgeous and fluty on the teas bags - just as feathers should be. B
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry - another slant on working with tea bags!
DeleteEveryone needs a little feathery fluff and frivolity in their life sometimes and this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am a firm believer in the need for frivolity and often set aside frivol days .... not often enough of late but I must remember. And the feathers ..... well who doesn't love feathers really....
DeleteYou are such a clever lady, Susan! What an adorable idea and wonderful outcome. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy .... certainly not a novel idea as so many people work with tea bags, but it is fun to see them dressed in feathers .....
ReplyDeleteoh these are lovely hopeful things with feathers!
ReplyDeleteHope is a thing with feathers ...... love it. thanks Mo.
DeleteJust gorgeous Susan - perfect just as they are, and for what they are...gotta love feathers and frivol!
ReplyDeleteJust two of my favourite 'f' words - family, friends, food, Fiona, fun ..............
Deletewell done, very feathery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Velma. The little books weigh next to nothing and feel very feathery indeed.
DeleteThank you so much - had a lovely wander around your blog a couple of days ago. thank you for getting in touch.
