Tea Time #7

"Be kind to others, but always be compassionate to yourself"

We often measure ourselves against unrealistic standards, and it’s important to take a step back and show yourself some compassion and appreciation when you feel burnt out.

This project has been rolling around in my mind for quite some time now, and I’ve finally felt the need to begin in earnest.

I love tea. It’s even on the About page of my website. There's not a specific brand or type of tea that I exclusively consume, but I often find myself drinking various varieties of Yogi®. When I noticed the lovely little sayings on their tea tags, I couldn’t help but save them for something.

This series takes the humble little piece of paper that dangles from the end of your tea bag, a minute detail that usually saves you a utensil (or your fingers), but often has a lifespan of only 3-5 minutes, and elevates it to a piece of art. Or at least something to take notice of.

I have an affinity for using mundane objects in an unexpected fashion, and so I’ve decided to use this opportunity to spread a little positive energy and inspiration to whomever may take notice. Hope you enjoy!
