Illustration Friday: Tea

I've been working on a new series of ACEOs (2.5"x3.5" artwork) called the "TEA SERIES". This series will feature ACEOs that are drawn in ink & colored with different types of tea. These drawings are highly detailed & very time consuming. They are full of symbolism...if you take a good look you will see things that other's might not see...

This is the first in the series, I did a few days ago:

"In the Garden"
Two birds look at mysterious things in the bottom of a garden pond.

This is the 2nd in the series,

"The Story of Eve"
Eve was told not to eat fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good & evil, but she did it anyway...and for that she suffered pain, learned what "shame" is, & eventually died.
Thanks for lookin' :)

Your work is fun to look at and linger over in all it's minute detail, and the drawings themselves are kind of surreal but engaging. I envy your sharp eyesight and non-arthritic hands to produce them, too!

I'd also love to know how you were able to change the color of the hyperlinks in your blog-posts. I have not been able to locate that part of the code in my template!

I love the variety of mark (expecially the ones on their beaks), interesting use of tea - before seeing your work, to me the tea was just brown :)
