For the perfect cuppa, you have to left the tea draw!

 

Yep, there's my tea bag drawing his little heart out! Well, he's only got 3-5 mins to complete his mermaid picture before I pluck him out & start sipping my tea!

Why is he drawing a mermaid?? Well he can identify with them - he too spends his short life in water!

Awesomely cute.. Capital A and all. So much fun and sense of humour comes of this piece.

1 Lily Machin replies: "One of the pleasures I have in life is being able to make others smile. I love putting humor into my paintings as not only does it brighten the viewers day, but they can take something away with them after vieweing it. It's one of the things that keeps me going! So glad you like it 2"

Adorable!

I think, however, that you have allowed your tea to draw for just a touch too much time. Unless I'm off on my math, it has been about nine months! 12

*sigh* Your tea bag puts mine to shame... the lazy things just want to soak in the nice warm water and then sleep in the cozy compost pile...

Absolutely adorable picture! So cute! And so creative!

1 Lily Machin replies: "Nothing wrong with resting in the compost pile! It's a good thing that the humble 'ol tea bag can be useful long after it's provided refreshment to us. Such a wonderful additive to organic compost!"

From one tea drinker to another...This is hilarious!

1 Lily Machin replies: "Gives you the 'Tea Drinkers hand signal' (which mimics the act of dunking a tea bag in & out of a cup)... Glad you like it!"

...*LOL* - oh my goodness - it took me a while to realize what it actually was - what a funny, unique different character... you’re so creative, this stuff rocks2!!! my congrats for your star2!!!

:-) Lily Machin replies: "Yeah, I didn’t stop to think at the time I was doing this piece that some people know it as ’steeping’. We use both terms here, but ’drawing’ is the most common in my household!"

Congrats on such a good pun. Definitely one of the most unusual antrho’s I’ve seen.

:-) Lily Machin replies: "Why Thankyou! I do love word play!"
