Last week's challenge in The Artist's Play Room was Coffee & Tea. I asked you to create art that used either one of these drinks. Sketch beans, paint cups, tea or coffee stain something, go crazy! We got some Fabulous submissions this week, here's mine and yours.

Title: "Join Me Over Hazelnut Coffee?" |

Terri of Morning Dewdrops emailed me, apologizing that she didn't realize that APR was themed. Well, this is an excellent teaching example! you don't ever HAVE to do the challenge, you can put up any piece of art you want or use the theme as a jumping off place, your choice, I'm just glad to see you! Her hair reminds me of a beautiful peacock's tail! Lovely. |

Cindy of Cottage Remnant always delivers great art, I love the three dimensional illusion of this piece. What a beautiful and special birthday or mother's day card this would make! |

Tracey always makes me laugh with her blog posts but this is the first time her art made me laugh! I just HAD to look up teapots to see the actual one online. What a funny pot, for manly tea! |

Kim of IMGirlwithoutwings made the cutest bookmark on the planet! I especially love the play on words, "A Moment OF ClariTEA." |

Diane made two, no THREE pieces this week about TEA so I had the privilege of picking my favorite, it was a hard choice, but her it is... Thanks Diane! |

Vonny was lamenting that she's not sure she likes this piece, the background and vase frustrated her. I'm blown away, I it's totally spectacular, I want to reach out and pick up the cups! |

Tracy of The Domestic Gourdess made this tiny carved gourd cup, what a wonderfully sweet little submission. Alas, we coffee hounds are losing another one to the dark side... Tea drinkers! (I love Earl Gray tea too but hazelnut coffee is my crack!) |

Katja has penned this wonderful sketchbook addition, a simple cup and teapot in a lovely blue. She says her fave tea is Earl Gray, hey ME TOO!! |

Leslie submitted an awesomely lovely piece. I just love the coloration of this. I can't believe this is a collage using napkins, wow. |

Andrea of Falling Ladies has done a beautiful tea centered mandala. These are so beautiful and as I understand, very meditative. I'd love to learn how to create these beautiful art pieces. Such a lovely submission! |

Gloria has painted a spectacular piece in oils. I must say,I LOVE this painting. There's something so deep about oils, they have weight. I love that about them and this piece is something truly special, I'm so glad you joined Gloria, I'm a new FAN. |

Debbie at Crafty Moose has painted a happy teapot with one of those lovely blooming flowers, I've always wanted to try those, I think you totally need a glass teapot to truly appreciate the beauty though. Thanks for submitting! |

Minnemie of Cripple Pencil has used her pens and pencils for great purpose today. I have such awe for those of you with the confidence to write on your artwork. I wish I could do that, I think it looks so cool, I'm just afraid I'll spell something wrong or mess up somehow. This is a very cool piece. |

Elizabeth's contribution this week is a lovely collage, I'm especially loving what she did with the spoon, great piece. |

ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing variety of artistic expressions. I'll be thinking about many of these the next time I pour myself a dark cup of my reason for getting out of bed in the morning.
ReplyDeleteNot being a coffee OR tea drinker, I was a little at a loss this week, but I'll definitely be playing with 'rainbow' since I LOVE the bright colors.....
ReplyDeleteBy the way, though I'm a follower, I clicked through on your AIB link
Love all the teas and coffees. :) Beautiful artwork from everyone!
ReplyDeleteI love art & color. I've always wanted to learn to paint like Bob Ross...maybe when I retire. About all I do now, is cartoon & lettering.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow. Following back from 99% Exposure Blog Hop.
What luck to find another crafter on these hops! Beautiful creations! Thanks for the follow! I am following you back!

Hi Jenn. My inner child got to play with this challenge. I enjoyed it very much. Your examples were beautiful, as always. Thanks for the encouragement to play!
ReplyDeleteI have used so many colours in my collage this week Jenny, so I thought I would include it in your challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love your examples. Very inspirational.
Hello Jenn, this is my first entry in your APR, hopefully I've done everything right. If I missed something please let me know.

My rainbow didn't really come out as planned. I was beaten by the weather.
ReplyDeleteI recognise those fish, lucky I didn't cheat and use them (hehe).

I had a hard time photographing my rainbow entry--the weather just did not want to cooperate!
ReplyDeleteI feel in color. (Anyone else as crazy as that?) So I appreciated this prompt, for it dawned on me that I am not temperamental, but rainbow-mental! Ha!
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone. You may have seen this already on my blog. I posted it earlier this week. It is a painting I did while on Whidbey Island at the Dreama Tolle Perry workshop the end of March. I have another rainbow colored painting I am working on, but it is not finished yet. I will post it (if allowed) when I finish it.
ReplyDeleteJenn, this time I copied your blog link and put it in my blog post. Yeah! I'm learning. Is it all right to have two entries? I enjoy going to see the other artist's post's too. Thank you for the chance to display my work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of tea and coffee art! :). I know I'm too late with my rainbow entry, but I just didn't manage to post it last week. Such a great coincidence that "rainbow" was last week's theme, a real rainbow really made my day last week!
