Inspire Me Thursday

This weeks challenge at Inspire Me Thursday was to create something using the colors purple and orange. I made an ATC using various paper scrap, a "love" embellishment, and artwork by The Altered Diva.

Collage for Hilda

Rose, harsh rose

marred and with stint of petals,

meagre flower, thin,

sparse of leaf,

more precious

than a wet rose

single on a stem --

you are caught in the drift.

Stunted, with small leaf,

you are flung on the sand,

you are lifted

in the crisp sand

that drives in the wind.

Can the spice-rose

drip such acrid fragrance

hardened in a leaf?

~Sea Rose by Hilda Doolittle

It seems I made this ATC subconsciously with Sea Rose embedded in the deep of my mind. I didn't realize, until just now, how well it corresponds with the poem. Don't you love when that happens?

Ooh la la!

This week's Mixed Media Monday challenge was to create something using a transparency. I thought this ATC I made last week would be perfect! It incorporates a lettered transparency sheet, collage scraps, and an Eiffel Tower sticker.
