The Butterfly Emerges in Spring

I'm once again joining Rosie at Rosie's Kleine Bastelwelt (Rosie's Small Craft World) this month's host at Art Journal Journey with her theme Spring.

And nothing speaks of spring better than butterflies flitting through the early spring flowers.

I colored the quote, but when I did, I tore it.  It reads "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."

l was once again able to get into my craft room for a couple of hours and sewed this collage together.   I haven't sewn anything for so long, it felt really good.

For this page I created in my large art journal, I began by sewing the three collage elements together, then I sewed them to the pink backing page.  The focal image was from a calendar that I cut to size, and the quote was computer generated.  I left the strings long on the variegated thread to denote movement.

I am simply thrilled you joined me today.    Thank you beyond belief for your continued support of my art.  Today, you will find me at Art Journal Journey.  Hope to see you there, too.
