Sunday Weekly Wrap-up and Color This Quote



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!
