Coffee or Tea - torn paper collage

12x12 collage on wrapped canvas using torn paper collaged on with matte medium, started over the weekend and finished yesterday.  Using a line drawing I tore, not cut, scraps of slick magazine piece colors and put into place with the medium.  Avoiding using any straight edges such as page sides, patterned paper was put over the wrapped edges.  I will varnish several times using gloss medium to give this cute mug a special shine.
