Paper Love Blog Hop



Oh yes I love paper, and  lately the type I am often using is tea bag paper.

           Once I have enjoyed my tea I let the tea bag dry and empty out the tea and open it up.
                                                                           


This accordion book is one of my recent creations with tea bag paper 


I have used torn pieces of tea bag paper glued onto watercolour paper 


on which I added some drawing, paint, and ink marks to. 

I have used tea bag paper on many creations in the past few years. 
And suspect I will continue to use them for quite some time.


The PaperLove Blog Hop is a celebration of all things paper!  Follow the links to discover more bloggers who love paper and use it to inspire and delight.

And if you want to explore a whole world of paper, and stretch your paper passion further with a host of creative projects, why not join the innovative new online course PaperLove (starts March 31).  Led by artist Rachel Hazell, PaperLove is a five
week creative adventure for paper lovers.

    What gorgeous colours. Do you have a preferred tea bag brand or do they all give the same result? And I wonder if herbal tea bags give lovely pinks and greens? I love recycling, this is a lovely idea

    Hi Kim - I love your work and your books - I thought you might like to see this artist and what she has done with her tea bags - you both have the same name - Kim - I wonder if it goes with the territory - http://www.kimschoenberger.com/exhibitions/expressions-of-love-ii/

    This Blog is by a mutual friend > and shows the work hanging beautifully - http://jomurray-art.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/talented-friends.html

    I really enjoy your birds, Kim. This new (old, really) house I am renting has a wild collection of bird sculptures and even a stuffed couple of the creatures, all peering down on the room from atop a tall cabinet. Quite a surreal effect!
