About a decade ago, I took a hot tea bag from my morning cup, and laid it on a page of my journal. The image was complex, the color good, and the material cheap. I conceived the Project of a 1000 Tea Bags on that day, and I started doing things with my bags of dried up tea bags. I've actually counted them. It is now many years later and I have only dabbled with this. In the meantime, I've worked, traveled, moved around the world and across the country, and I'm back in Boulder, settled down at last. I wonder how long that will last and how many teabags I can work on before I get bored. We shall see.
