Coffee & Tea Collage


From Raluca Oana Baciu in Romania. The text reads, "I invite you to my pub! These are my favorite coffee and tea." If I ever go to Romania I'll seek it out. Thanx!

Envelope

This is the envelope in which the previous 2 posts were enclosed.

Share your wisdom

This is from the same artist as the previous post. On the back is a mail art call, which is documented at http://share-your-wisdom.blogspot.com/.


Odd Still life


From G.D.P. in Belgium. Notice the upturned coffee cup on the head, which sits in a saucer. This was done in watercolor and ink.

Tea, Nescafe


From Michel Della Vedova. Limoges, France. This appears to be instant coffee packages arranged to form the word "TEA", then photographed and digitally printed. A creative response to the coffee/tea call.

Tea Collage II

From Jenai Chin. Douglasville, GA. A tea bag attached to a patterned surface with other elements from various tea packaging.

Moka D'Ethiopie

From F.P in France. This interesting piece includes one of the Buddhist gods and an espresso pod with a picture of a goat (interesting). I don't speak French, but it appears to say something like, "visit our museum, and possibly something about birds???" Someone who can read French please comment on this one.

How do you spell coffee?


From Ann Baptist. Brampton Ontario, Canada. A lot of work went into finding all of these words and cutting them out. Kind of "spell"binding isn't it?

Blue Bottle Coffee Co.

From Jennie Hinchcliff (c/o Red Letter Day). San Francisco, CA. I like it when people send me new stuff to try. This is a coffee I had never heard of, so now I'll seek it out and try it. Cool handwriting too!

This is a great piece I recieved from an artist in France, Jean-Luc Lacroix. It is made from real tea stains, tea leaves, and a tea bag. Awesome! Here's his site: http://lacroixjeanluc.free.fr/lacroixsite.
