One of the things I am fond of about this technique is the fact that the wax creates a really interesting texture on the outside of the tea bag. The more wax that you apply the smother it becomes and with less wax the texture is much more rough. I like this as you can really control the amount of wax you use to create different effects. Also if you don't completely fill the tea bag with an image the tea bag becomes transparent.
I really like that these tea bags are round, as it is a nice contrast to may envelop collages as they are all either square or rectangular. And the fact that they are circular makes them a little more interesting and really varies the work through out my project.
