Description 1st in a series of 8 small pieces created while I was at my internship at a female prison in N. Florida.

As a student I am encouraged to Self Care and this is my preferred method, art.

The pieces needed to be portable and so they were created on recycled library cards (the printed text is on the back of the cards).

- This is the first set, all three were done separately but using similar techniques. The theme present is personal struggles adjusting to the setting and my finding my role. There are some quotes I found helpful that were given to me by a Psych Specialist ( Thanx PSB).

Whats in it?

- library card
- tea bag paper (sometimes the string also)
- tea
- pen
- watercolor
- acrylic matte medium


for entire series see my scraps [link]

I have always like the effect of tea "ink" on paper!

Thanx. I did find it weird that the "pink" teas tended to turn grey-black when glue was applied. But the effect was still interesting.

YAY Cool. Thanx. I was having a difficult time making art and was trying to break myself out of the block.
