Four tea bag tiles. I love these tiles. The colour themes are similar, not bright, but very nice. The tiles could be used to make a border, used for your tea bag folding, put on a decoupage project, used for collage, greeting cards or other paper crafts. The colours and dark red, navy blue, cream, gold and black.
Although I originall worked as a draftsman, I have alway been interested in arts and crafts. From plaster casting, knitting, crochet, oil and acrylic painting, folk art painting, making greeting cards, drawing, using pastelles and of course decoupage. I first discovered decoupage when looking through an "American Handicrafts" magizine. That magazine no longer exists, but it however, introduced me to decoupage. I have made dozens of decoupage pieces, some now probably at least 25 years old. One of the mistakes I made with my first decoupage pieces, which were done on timber, is that I did not varnish the back as I did the front. I left the back of the piece with the raw wood exposed and the pieces eventually bowed because of moisture in the air getting into the timber from the back.
