teapot

“It’s always teatime…”

Says the Mad Hatter in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland.

And the best thing to do with tea is to let it steep. It’s the same with a hot new idea. As it steeps, it becomes more refined. And like tea, some ideas need to steep a little longer than others. (With this teapot doodle, I was thinking of the word squiggle. The steam drifts and curls like a lazy afternoon and I lingered over it with the thought of patterns. It didn’t feel finished until I added some sweet biscuits.)
