Tea is one of the languages that connects the world. Every country has its own tea-drinking culture and artistic teacups which have rich differences from country to country. Based on my understanding of ceramics and paper texture, I started to represent some teacups with handmade paper and collages. I tried to make it with coffee grounds, cinnamon, sugar, salt, rice grains and so on and mixed them with ink. Then I added some decorative patterns with watercolour.
