365 Cups of Tea 2019 Calendar (Limited Edition)

A few years ago I started a project entitled, “365 Cups of Tea” as a daily, morning practice to stay in touch with two college friends. It was a one-a-day practice I discovered while I was in graduate school at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. The ritual was basically this... wake up, have a cup of Scottish breakfast tea, dry the tea bag, then cut the end off, toss the grounds in my garden and let the tea bag dry flat. After that I used my watercolor pencils to illustrate a cliché, a pun, or a thought I had in mind, and sometimes used my typewriter to type on the bag. I loved the constraints of the 2"x 2" tea bag, and the other limitation I liked was that I had to finish the tea bag in the time it took to drink one, or two cups of tea, a practice which kept me engaged, curious and looking forward to the next morning! I hope you enjoy these samples of the tea bags super enlarged for this calendar project.
