[Aquanet] tea staining paper

[RMGesford at aol.com]

He explained that he soaked the paper for 4 hours in coffee first (cool  
color) for 4 hrs...then in tea (warm color) for 4 hrs...then deckled the edges  by 
tearing the ends away while it was wet. I failed to ask if it would be  acid 
free...sorry...too many customers admiring his work. He was MOST generous  
explaining his techniques...very nice and personable.

Hi Miriam
I met an Artist at an outdoor Art show a few weeks ago and he worked on  tea 
stained AND coffee stained paper. 
It was gorgeous work.  The watercolors were of butterflies,  dragonflies, and 
other wildlife. 
 
I didn't get a chance to ask him very many questions...only how he got  the 
results.  I picked up his card and found his web site.  He said  he would 
welcome any questions via email. His card read 'Artist of  Nature'.
His name is Bill Scott (San Antonio, Tx).

What are the thoughts on tea staining paper?
Will the acid in  the tea deteriorate the artwork?
I am trying to research this but the  evidence is that 
artist have done this for centuries...but is is  archival???
