ps, my craft making is not serious nor conceptual. 

bed time is kind of relax time. Sometime I do quick experimenting or finish mail art in my bed... 

So whatever it comes into mind from the mediation state that the art.... : )

Hello MR Richard,

I drink tea but this project has nothing to do with actually tea concept, but my creative process or paper making. I start making own envelopes by breaking ready made envelope, so I did the same way breaking Lipton tea bag and made it. I liked it and I will do it again. Again it is good to put little stuff like old postage stamps when mailing to someone.

Making tea bag shape of bag is popular with handmade scene. I found it in the Japanese paper stationary book and I wanted to try. If you want to see I take a picture of the book page. I took book art class at AAU SF and I made a tea bag shape Christmas card with a sting and tab (I forgot about the string this time but it is also good to put sting to make it resemble as an actual tea bag. 

I am painter and photographer and normally dealing with 2D stuff. I am not good at making 3D objects but I like making paper stationary and stuff... 

Actually I prefer drinking coffee. But seeing my family drinking tea everyday and they throw away the tea bag, I feel like I need to recycle the bag... Beside making the new, I am intending to use the used bag for something... (I send the used Lipton bag attached to Japanese snack plastic like a pocket to DK mail. ;P )

"17.03.15 Dare Ms. Tomoe N. & Mister DeVillo S., ...Yes, I agree.  A "Nice one!"....but this is a tiny tea bag  "envelope" isn't it??.... & not the actually tea bag. ....I  am most fond of the tea drinking process & I personally have  helped the industry by downing (drowning) cupfuls thousands of times. I read a line somewhere recently that said (already forgotten where) tea is of course fine but "tea bags" were  bad for you.( I don't know...maybe bleach(?) in the manufacturing of the little tea bags???...encouraging the idea of loose tea & or the sale of those "Tea-ball" containers I suppose???).... Anyway, I hear the tea kettle singing. Richard Canard

Thank you De Villo.

I figured that making a tea bag is easier than making an envelope (for me). : ) 

It is good for putting little stuff.
