Caroline West has painted landmarks including Stonehenge, Tower Bridge and Blackpool Tower on used tea bags.
An artist has given used tea bags “another lease of life” by painting famous UK landmarks on them and turned an item which is often discarded into “something beautiful”.
“I just think we’re all so busy all the time and it is hard to take the time to slow down and notice the beauty in the everyday things that are often taken for granted.“I liked the idea of using tea bags as a way to turn something mundane into something beautiful.” “Then, you just gradually build up the layers, tape them up at the ends, take it off the backing paper and hope it doesn’t tear and swear a lot if it does.”
The series happened around April and saw Mrs West replicate places including Saltburn Pier, Scarborough Castle, Humber Bridge and the Yorkshire Dales.
