one more for the tea field art contest


Remember the Fantasies in the Tea Field Photo & Art Contest that I blogged about last week? I ended up doing just one more piece before sending them off yesterday. This one shows two large baskets such as the tea-pickers traditionally carry on their backs when they go out to the fields to pick tea leaves. The baskets are woven from strips of bamboo. And the shoulder straps are woven from leftover strips of often colorful fabric.

  1. beautiful work. I love combinations of sepia-colors and ink.

    I sure am missing green tea. I need to get over to the Japanese market here where I live.

  4. Thanks, Ladies. Carole, you mean the ink blotches? You do know, of course, that they are accidental. Blotches come with using the bamboo quill pen, and I couldn't orchestrate it if I tried.
