something else about Tea....

Yep, its Tea again, here is some surface pattern I derived from cups, teabags and strung teabags, the pattern being suitable for fabric, i.e. kitchen blinds, wrapping paper, place mats and ceramics as per the teapot below. These were originally worked onto A1 paper. I wanted something a bit more geometric for a change.

I cut a few stencils based on china cups from my own collection, also a couple of different sized square stencils,using a roller with emulsion, acrylic with a white gel pen

same process different stencils for the strung teabags....

this time just the square stencils

I thought I would quite like a teapot with the square pattern.....

come in Number 3, your time is up....

this delapidated lake boat is sat on the sea front at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire

it caught my eye with its ruination, it had been used as a planter but even the plants had given up

plenty of rust and lichen growth

this rusty three has decided that I should form a photo collection of unexpected numbers

Ait seems quite resilient though, even fire has not had much destroyed it

but the most captivating feature for me is of how the flaking paint has taken on its own identity and is now impersonating a seascape

perhaps its trying to emulate the seasape it actually looks at..........
