Oh, these are so beautiful! The handmade paper is what really makes these go to another level. I bet the metallics are just beautiful in real life.
If you get a chance, please check out my blog as I am giving away a painting this week in a drawing!
Beautiful work, Margaret....how do you find the handmade paper to work on?
these are great! I really do love that sugar cane paper that you are using ... and the Prickly Pear with it's rainbow of colors is simply gorgeous!
One of these days I would like to trade ATC's with you ... it would require me actually making some myself ... one day. :)
Beauteous!!! Love that paper.

That sugar cane paper looks fascinating and the metallic colors look perfect for cacti. Chain-fruit cholla are interesting. I wonder how many is the most fruit anyone has found in a single chain.
Wow! so beautiful! Happy Cactus Monday to you!

Oh, gosh, Margaret...sure wish I had something to trade for one of these beauties! They are so beautiful! The colors on that special paper is so lovely and soft!
Happy CM!
Wonderful! Perfect paintings to go with that luscious looking paper!
I love them. I don't have anything to trade...I'll have to get cracking! There seems to be an infinite variety of cacti - I'm sort of fascinated by those desert plants.
Happy Belated cactus Monday and really love these cactus with a few colours on.
Very lively and engaging art!
What a great marriage of paper, media and colour. Simply lovely!! I love your work lately! - Really floats my boat and makes me smile! :o)
Well I have things to trade so I choose this beautiful prickly pear ATC. I hope it is still available.
My next choice is the bottom/last flower up above.
Tell me what you want of mine, and do send me your email so we can exchange snail mail addresses.
