Oh Alice! Ch.34 A Mad Tea Party

`And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, `he won't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'

A bright idea came into Alice's head. `Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked.

`Yes, that's it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: `it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.'

`Then you keep moving round, I suppose?' said Alice.

`Exactly so,' said the Hatter: `as the things get used up.'

`But what happens when you come to the beginning again?' Alice ventured to ask.

This week's challenge at Oh Alice! is to use a tea bag fold on your project.

Now, I know what "tea bagging" is, but had to refer to YouTube for help with this one! .

I found some great tutorials on traditional tea bag folding,

but when I ran across this altered tea bag scallop flower,

I decided to go WAY outside of my box and give it a go. 

I found this amazing art online by googling "zombie".

Although she doesn't appear to be infected,

she is gorgeous and possibly deadly anyway.

I colored her with Copics and returned to my purple addiction,

coupled with my penchant for fluorescent green. 



This fleur was created with a SU scallop punch.

It was pretty simple, but I can see where practice could be

helpful.

I can't say I will be making these fleurs like a mad woman in

the future, but I did reconnect with the notion of what a challenge really means.

Feel free to stop by the Oh Alice! blog to check out 

how the other ladies rose to this challenge.
