This collage grew from another rejected collage that was scraped and sanded down. Interestingly enough, I went into the first collage with zero direction and the collage withered and died. The second time I went into the collage, I knew only that I wanted green and purple to work together as a background. Later, during a walk I saw the slime of a snail trail lit up in the purple dusk and I knew what the purple and green were going to support. The original slime color wasn't going to stand out enough, so that is how snail slime morphed into blooms. I didn't know all the steps going into this piece, and I think that was a bold place to live for someone who likes a plan or scheduled moments of spontaneity.
This collage is made entirely of tea packaging (tags, bags, and boxes): Taylors, Yogi, Allegro, Stash, Bigelow, Pukka, Harney & Sons, English Tea Shop, Choice Organics, Teavana, and I'm sure some others I'm missing.
