IlloFriday....tea anyone??.....



here is tea. not super stoked about this one, but i think it was a pritty creative idea nonetheless. i had soo much time at work this past week that i just started finding images that i could use to create a collage. i hadnt done a collage in quite a while and everyone knows how i love to add a little diversity to my portfolio, so this seemed like a good way to go. i didnt just want to create a collage of teacups and tea kettles so i used everyday objects to create the pieces in the end. the items are as follows : the tea kettle is some sort of clay pottery from a museum, the knob for the top is a hand carved wooden cane top, the top handle is from an antique chinese tea kettle, the dragon shaped handle is from some sort of japanese art, and the spout is, you guessed it, a spout from a silver tea kettle - it was too elegant not to use! for the tea cups, they are just ordinary well buckets and the handles are brass dresser drawer handles that you might find at your local hardware store. so eventhough this one doesnt really have any chacha pizzaz marks added in, i think it still suits the mood for the topic. oh and to anonymous, enjoy your time away. we will definatley miss your illos from now until then....whatever will we do?!?! enjoy.

its great! I really should do a collage myself, yours always inspire me! So with this one I dig the little well buckets as tea cups. I think the doiley actually ties it together and gives it that sunday afternoon tea feeling. And the little heat squiggles give it that chachaish flare. Keep up the good work!
