How to tea dye mixed media books

In this video, I share how I use black tea to dye mixed media books I make with fabric, papers, thread and fibers. I show how you can dip whole books in tea or single pieces of fabric or paper. I love this technique because it invites in the ancient, natural healing energies of tea into the practice of creating books in addition to changing the aesthetic of the materials.
