It became a yellow butterfly

I'm once again joining Alison/Craftytrog, our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  Her theme is recycle and collage.

Nearly everything in this page is recycled.  That's why I am also once again joining Try it on Tuesday where their theme this fortnight is Recycle Something.

I am a huge fan of Buckminster Fuller.  I love his geodesic domes, his bucky balls, and this quote.

I wonder if the caterpillar knew it was going to turn into a beautiful yellow butterfly.   

I began this page using a piece of card stock that was in my recycle bin.  I made a boo-boo on the other side, but this side was still acceptable.  I sewed two pieces of security envelopes together with the doily I had hoarded/saved from under my tea cup in a high end restaurant.  There was also one under the tea pot, so I'm sure this will be the month to use it, too.  The butterfly started life as a calendar page.  Only the variegated thread and the sentiment had never previously experienced life in a different form.

This is Day 8 of 22 and I re-purposed part of a calendar page, a doily, used card stock, and security envelopes to create a page in my art journal.   

I genuinely appreciate you spending time with me today.    Thank you beyond belief for your continued support of my art.  Today, you will once again find me at Art Journal Journey and Try it on Tuesday.  Hope to see you both places, too.
