Altered Book Lover: Write tea

I could have called this "Doubling Up Tea," or "Cofftea," but I chose this title, because I am actually writing a double post today.



Since it's Tuesday and I have never missed a Tea Tuesday post, I am joining Kimmie and friends for tea. Actually, it is ice coffee,


but the ice isn't going to stay around long, since it's another of those scorcher days we have gotten so used to in Kansas. You can see how the ice has already nearly melted in the glass. BTW, this is freshly ground French Roast and half and half.


And to prove how hot it is, here is what I snagged off my blog when I checked in shortly after noon yesterday!


But back to the coffee and art. It didn't take long to consume most of this wonderful drink I love so much. And it didn't take long to apply the E-6000 to the pen nibs. But I should have been more careful when I started adding the letters, made of vinyl.


You can barely see the "E" on "Write."


However, at the Artist's Play Room, Jenn challenged us to use ink, pen, and paper this week. Jenn, whose blog is called Just Add Water, Silly, knows I'm not the best at following the "exact" rules (remember my apple among the pears last week?).


I don't think I've ever had any ink (unless you are thinking of an ink pen), but I did have magazine images of pens, real pen nibs, and a background I painted using an old gift card. Along with the letters, this is a true mixed media piece. However, you will probably see this same piece soon. I am working on a larger project and created it when I saw Jenn's challenge. And since I have posts scheduled for the remainder of the week, I had to double up on this post, or not be part of Jenn's challenge at all.

So , please join Kimmie and all my Tea Tuesday friends, then visit Jenn for more pen and ink drawings this week.

I would also like to leave a message for TwinkleToes who always leaves a nice comment AND makes fantastic art. However, I'm not on Flickr, so I can't leave a comment. I just want you to know, TwinkleToes, that I appreciate your art and your comments, even though I can't leave one for you.
