August 15, 2012 at 8:40 pm #884845These are just amazing! I really love seeing everyone’s work. We’ve got some very talented artists here:)
August 15, 2012 at 8:41 pm #884846Very nice! Did you actually use tea?
August 15, 2012 at 8:48 pm #884848I’m actually curious about the technique for tea staining a pyo as well and if a particular type of tea works better (dark tea vs. green or fruit teas, though I imagine fruit teas could give interesting tinges of reds. I was actually planning on staining a set of the foo dogs this way for an old, time worn look.
August 15, 2012 at 8:52 pm #884844Melody’s tea-stained Foo Mother made me fall in love so much with the coloring that I figured I’d give it a try on a Pup! (I love the way he came out!)
(He met one of my kitties before his “photo shoot”!)
(Indoors)
August 15, 2012 at 9:06 pm #884851I did, Etruscan! All I did was take a very watered down cup of tea and use a paintbrush to cover the whole piece with it so it had a very pale color to it. Then I used a half a cup of tea (with two teabags in it) to try and darken certain areas on the piece. Since the Pup took the stain slowly, I just went over those areas repeatedly until I was happy with the color! It was so super easy and it even left him smelling great! Hahaha! 🙂
August 15, 2012 at 9:15 pm #884852Here are my Foo’s Flame and water 😀 I hope you all like them.

August 15, 2012 at 9:28 pm #884854Grayfire – Your flame pup made me squee. So gorgeous!
Puff – I love that you actually used tea! That’s seriously ingenious.
August 15, 2012 at 11:20 pm #884873Love how the Tea-Staining turned out! 🙂
Also love those colours on the Flame pup. Stunning!
August 15, 2012 at 11:37 pm #884874Oooohh I love the purple flame!
August 15, 2012 at 11:58 pm #884879These guys are Super Cute! and tiny!
I’ve told myself no PYOs until I’ve graduated (4 months to go!) I don’t need any more distractions :pI tea stained a KiRin and Dragon a few years ago and love the finish. I used regular orange pekoe black tea (red rose or tetly) and used a few bags in a large bowl of hot water, let it strengthen until it looked black and put the PYOs directly into the tea, leaving them there til they reached a colour I liked, they will lighten as they dry, then took them out and first patted them dry before leaving them to dry for a couple of days. You can antique or paint them just like a regular PYO too. These guys are so tiny and inexpensive I think I’m going to try staining them with different teas when I get the chance 😀
August 16, 2012 at 12:48 am #884881Holy crap!! These two are my favorites so far – you guys did AWESOME jobs on these!! I haven’t had time to get to mine yet, I cant wait until I can though 😀
*still fanning self over the 2 above* So. Beautiful.

Please visit My Webpage to see my art and PYO's that I've done in the past!August 16, 2012 at 1:49 am #884769Since everyone else is sharing theirs, I figured it was time to stop lurking and add in my own. It is my first time with a PYO, so it’s not the best but I’m quite happy with the outcome of my pup! I based the pattern on an asagi koi (more specifically this art of one http://fav.me/d7y7rc).
August 16, 2012 at 3:19 am #884891My next foo pup will probably be based on a betts like this http://betta-fish-care.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bettafishcaretips.jpg
What color eyes would go best with that coloration?
