Art with Old Tea Bags

Recycling and upcycling in 2018 is a hot topic this year. I have seen all sorts of products, from reusable straws, which generally will not even be considered a product in itself last year, be a hot selling item. Let us hope that people continue to be environmentally conscious next year in 2019 which brings us to the topic of the day.

The artist by the name of Ruby Silvious, who is an artist based in the Big Apple in America, has turned wet tea bags into works of art.

How and Why?

Well for every single day, (and I assume, every single cup of tea that is consumed), she dries them and decorates them with hand drawings. Why? I am guessing because she can. How? By using a lot of time and patience (something that I do not have). Specifically Ruby commented on how when tea bags dry out, a lot of the tea inside becomes randomly spread out, creating a beautiful canvas to begin enhancing and drawing upon.

Elaborate Works of Art

Ruby's effort is quite incredible. At the end of each day, her tea bags are used as a way to keep a diary of herself and her day.

A Coffee Table Book
