Helga's Weekly Challenge

Helga over at Artchix has a weekly challenge that she offers to challenge and stretch our abilities. I've been participating in this challenges since the beginning of the year, and have found them to be a great asset to me. They have helped me to think outside of the box and to think of art in a new way.

The Challenge for this week was to take Helga's "Master board" and create art out of it. If you visit her Blog you'll see what this started out to look like before I started playing with it. I've added several of Helga's collage sheet images and even used my watercolor crayons in a few areas. I did some paper cutting and folding, and then cut the whole image apart and attached it to another piece of paper and added the words in between for inspiration. Helga started this inspiration in the lower right hand corner with "be you". Things you could also be are brave, lucky, happy, amazed, and anything you'd like to be. I think this would look great framed and might just have to do that and make a gift for someone.
