tea

I have had this page sitting half done for a long, long time!

I spread the background with blue acrylic paint that was left from another project. Then a while later I came across the image of the ladies having afternoon tea and stuck that on. Then while I was doodling one day I added the halo effect in lighter and darker blue around the image. Then it sat there... and I had no idea what to do with it!

Months later I was rifling through some stencils and suddenly thought of an idea for the rest of the page. I stencilled the flowers with white gesso and the stars with blue acrylic paint. Then I hunted for a quote about tea. I added the lettering by hand with white Uniball Signo pen and black Pitt Artist pen. Then added the spiral doodle with the same two pens. And there you are!
