Tea Stands for Tuesday 12/13/22

 We are having a wet December here in NoCA.  That is my excuse to stay in and drink tea.  I think I should ask Santa for this tea pot, isn't it lovely.




I did have a bit of time for art this past week.  Nothing holiday related.  Kind of dark in my workspace and no tea, just my trusty water bottle.



I'm working on my Altered Playing Cards again.  If you look closely you can match some of the paper bits to the cards below.



I pretty much failed at photographing these three.  The ones left and center have gold  that I painted on tissue paper and then tore out and glued to the background.

Lets go visit Elizabeth's blog and see if anyone is into holiday ideas.

  7. No, I'm not so much in holiday mode and I have not made any Christmas cards either.
    But your altered playing cards are really nice.
    And oh that teapot! What a beauty!

  11. You don't have to tell me. I know I'm late visiting. I nearly fell over when I saw that teapot. You aren't the only one who would love it.

    I spent a year making altered playing cards (2 cards every two weeks), but we had prompts and the lady hosting had tons of materials and tools I didn't own. It was NOT fun for me. At least, you can decide what your cards will look like.

    A covered water bottle is good in any craft space, Darla. Thanks for sharing that teapot, your altered playing cards, and your water with us for T this week, dear.

  13. Hi Darla!! I keep saying i'm going to try altering some playing cards but i never seem to get around to it! Even without the best lighting your cards look fabulous! i do apologize for being late! Not 5 minutes after i linked to the T party hubs walks in and says ' We need to go to the hospital'.. sigh... He had tried to cut off his fingers with a power tool... So , several hours, 12 stitches and one broken finger later.. he's doing okay.. so Happy Belated T day! Hugs! deb
