Harry Potter tea bag artist paints miniature masterpieces

In her Harry Potter art, she has recreated the Hogwarts Express and the grand spectacle of Hogwarts itself. The Lord of the Rings artwork depicts Gollum, a dragon’s eye, and even characters such a Gandalf and the hobbits trekking up a mountain. Tea-rrific!

Caroline says she has always loved books, and the way in which authors create ‘whole worlds’.

“I wanted to see if I could capture that feeling in miniature, on a tea bag,” she says.

Making the tiny artworks takes hours of hard work. First, Caroline dries out the used tea bags, scrapes out the tea, flattens them with an iron, and adds a base layer of paint. After that, the fun part begins, bringing the tea bags to life with acrylic paints to create these magical moments.
