I am doing some prep work for a class this month:

I thought I would play with my stash of recycled tea bag papers

The lower tea bag was stamped with office style stamps

I collected from thrift stores over the years.

I am always attracted to office products...

Pigment Based Inks

It is important to use Pigment Based Inks when stamping.

Dye based inks are watersoluble,

so if you paint over them or use gel medium they will run.

I plan to incorporate tea bags into a few new class samples

for my upcoming

Adventures in Mixed Media Quilts Class

See you in class soon...
