So I finally got to enjoy morning at The Tearoom at the iconic Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. It was a decadent indulgence after a long red-eye flight. :)
The couple seated before us was dressed to the nines in labels to match the grand decor of the place....while I was still wearing my in-flight outfit because it was too early to check-in! At least they didn't turn me away...*LOL*
The morning tea was scrumptious and terribly sinful. Even the macaron was yummy. [I typically find meringue-based confections too sweet for my liking.]
Lot of fun with a new medium - Liquitex resin sand, mixed with glass bead gel and mica flakes. Love the shimmering effect.
Playing along with the challenges at Skissedilla and The Studio.

Love the textured colors and elements! A lot of thoughts and details went into this fabulous design! I just love how this Tearoom page feels---so fancy and pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely way to capture and remember a proper tea. I've attended several fancy teas, but sadly I've never worked the photos into scrapbook pages. After seeing your work, I am more eager to try to do a similar layout perhaps making a piece to hang. I like the effect of all the embellishments and glitter. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty!
