This past week I was able to complete a few challenges as well as some ATCs.
Color This Quote
Artists in Blogland hosts a fun monthly challenge, based on a quote.
This month the new quote was from Pablo Picasso:
"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."
As I thought about the quote, I realized that whenever I do a collage I first must tear or cut up paper and images before I begin. So I used some gelli papers and tore them into pieces. then I created a sky/ground.
The image I then used was of a butterfly. Its metamorphosis is an act of destruction to create this beautiful creature.
Collages - I created 2 collages for 2 favourite challenges this week. Check them out here.
ATCs
I created several ATCs this week for different swaps:
Mandalas
A new swap of a hand - this was my zen henna hand
Joy Cards
I created 3 joy cards this week - 2 very simple ones, one with a message I need to take to heart.
Photography
With the lovely weather the past few days, I was able to get out and get some flower photos. Here are a few.
Hope you have a wonderfully creative week!

Looks like you had a lot of fun! The horses cards are interesting. Thanks for playing along at Artists in Blogland!
I love the way you illustrated the AIB quote by tearing up papers for your collage. Brilliant!
Love your interpretation of the Picasso quote and your butterly collage. Perfect.
