day twelve: 13

'use tea leaves or tea bags (used or unused) or even just liquid tea (in a cup or not) to create something today.'

i soaked some tea bags in hot water and then threw them down on a piece of paper to create a splatter effect...i first tried to splatter them in a snail shape but my aim wasn't that great. i used a berry tea, earl grey & gingersnap tea. after i splattered the bags they began to rip oven so i air dried the paper & then poured the contents of each bag onto the paper. i pushed the leaves around to make the shape of the snail and then used one of the bags to twist & roll into eyes. i have done this to paper before and the end results make great birthday cards or notes! also, my hands smell great!
