And a bonus envelope from Kathie M from a coloring page. I like the bonus ladybird on the back.

Colored pencils
A calendar page I colored with inktense pencils, then went over with a paintbrush, and sent to Jean.

April envelopes received
Here are the fab envelopes I received in April. There's a lot of green... must be spring.
From Cathy. I love how the colors match the flowers on the stamp.
From Jean. I'm loving the draw out letters here. And the color matched stamps.
From Jeanae. Great calligraphy. And I always have to think twice when typing your name :)
From Hester. Great artistamp, insect and Oscar stamps.
From Kathie. Love the WPA Posters stamp here, hiding in the bushes on this John Rush painting.
From Smash. I never thought I'd receive this stamp myself - thanks so much!

Artbook to DKULT
DKULT sent me the deconstructed pieces of the 100 years of DADA collage I sent her in this envelope, plus a few extra bits. Check out the fun artistamps.
I turned the ephemera into this mini artbook. If you've sent me any bits and pieces in the past, some of them were added here.
And sent it back in this envelope.

Artistamps for William
You may be forgiven if you feel like you're back at the start of the A-Z challenge.
I had admired some art of William's at IUOMA, and, in collaboration with him, made him some artistamps.
Sent in this envelope.
And he kindly sent me a few originals!

Zines
Z is for zines, minizines to be precise. MMSA occasionally has a minizine swap challenge. A minizine is a zine made from a single sheet. You can see how this works here.
The theme was 'For the love of chocolate'.
The ones I created didn't scan very well because I used a lot of metallic chocolate packaging. I should have photographed them. Here are a couple of images from the MMSA site.
And here are a few pages from the beauties that came in from Mary, Trudy and bonus ones from Honi.
My favorite is the poem zine from Joanne.
And there it is, the end of the A-Z challenge, my first time participating. Feel free to celebrate with me by enjoying some chocolate.
I learned that there are too many blogs out there to read them all. I also learned the ins and outs of leaving a comment, from the very easy, to the sometimes bewilderingly challenging - almost like some people don't want you to leave a comment! Not to mention having to do the image captcha thingy every now and again to prove I am a human...
