Our idea may have been the same, but I think yours is a bit more artisitic [and you used more expensive tea bags than I did]. Good Luck.

At first I thought this was cheap black and white, but on closer inspection, you have been economical with the colour saturation!

As George said, I like the colour saturation here. Suits the theme of thrifty well. A simple but effective image. Happy New Year and BOL!

Nice idea David. I get the feeling we shall be seeing quite a few of these this month. (We might even see a contraceptive on a washing line too).
I personally don't bother with the drying process, I just make two cups from one tea bag!

The longer you keep 'em the more you need!
I believe some character from past media used to do this, but I cannot remember who - does anyone recall?
Good idea David, best regards for 2010 - put a packet of tea bags on your Christmas list for next year, Neil

Great idea David,
Is that taken after you got 4 cups from each bag I wonder.
Best of luck.

Cheapskate! I like the artistic twist to the picture and it's uncluttered appearance.

Terrific shot! The lean composition and monchrome contrast work really well here, and it's a superb take on the theme.
Good Luck!

I think this is by far the best of the pegged teabag shots. The composition works nicely with this one. Still glad I'm a coffee drinker...........

Good fun shot David. Nice angle and lighting. Like the detail and textures. Now this reminds me of an old lady I knew who reused her teabags.
Good luck and Happy New Year.

Nice shot David and shows the thrift in drying and reusing tea bags, by the time this competition is over we should all be better informed and perhaps be better off?
Happy New Year to you and your family
Well done and Good luck!

Seams like the t-bag idea is a popular one. They stand out well against the dark background. BOL.

This brings back memories of my mother telling me off for throwing a used tea bag away when she was going though her "thrifty pensioner" period. Best of luck for the competition.
