KIRKSTALL ABBEY - CLASSICAL MUSIC EXTRAVAGANZA










Leeds Met Council, here in the UK, staged one of its free events in the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey a couple of weeks ago and this one was an evening of classical music.

The idea of this particular event was to enjoy an evening of music, lightshows and fireworks with family and friends and by bringing along a picnic and a bottle of wine, a great time was had by all.

Here are a few of my photos.

Artists Studio Challenge No 2 - Mermaids


This is Daisy, Mabel's other sister, who married well and therefore was in a position to indulge her every fashion whim. Say what you like, but I think there's something just a little bit fishy about this outfit but Mabel says there is no accounting for taste.

Credit to Clearly Vintage (Flickr free to share) for Daisy, and also to a lovely French artists I discovered, (Cajoline-Scraps at her blogspot), for the remaining elements other than the fish tail which started life as a guppy and was altered by me.

Created for the new Artists Studio challenge at Digital Art Quirks.

Thanks for looking.

Here is my entry for Theme Thursday where this week the theme is Flourishes.
