Response to art prompt

“The earth laughs in flowers.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Through another blogger’s post, I discovered a fantastic artist named Ruby Silvious. I could not stop admiring her used tea bag art!
I had to try it myself. Here’s my first one:

It was fun and quite challenging. Used tea bags are much more delicate and harder for ink to take. I’d like to try watercolor, but I’m finding that challenging to do on regular paper!
Thus far, my “theme” or key words for 2018 are: adventure, fun, creativity and presence. It’s going well thus far.

My passion for poetry is positively preposterous
careful contemplation,
delicate design of discourse,
imagination, inspiration and impact,
I’m in awe: affectionately and alliteratively amazed
