THREE MUSES CHALLENGE 56 - EYES

It's my turn to host the Three Muses challenge this week and I chose the theme of EYES.

I had planned to create a Zetti kind of piece, but it seems my Muse had other ideas and this ...... dare I say it ........... surreal piece ........... just kind of happened. Again! Will I never get surreal out of my system? Tee hee.

THEY SAILED AWAY FOR A YEAR AND A DAY

Sandy chose Sea Voyages for this week's theme at Sunday Postcard Art and that made me think of the Owl and the PussyCat, and since they sailed away in Pea Green boat I am also entering it for Theme Thursday too.

THREE MUSES CHALLENGE 55 - BUTTONS AND BOWS

Florence has a date this evening and wants to make just the right impression. She decides on BUTTONS and BOWS because they make her feel feminine, interesting, a little bit daring and .........



colourful!

ART BANDIT CHALLENGE - VERMEER

THREE MUSES 54 - TAKE A SONG, ANY SONG

It's Marie's turn to host the Three Muses challenge this week and she has chosen the theme of TAKE A SONG, ANY SONG.

Now for a while I have been considering trying to illustrate the lyrics of the Beatles' song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and so Marie's theme gave me the perfect chance to have a go.

I think you can probably guess which bit of the song I have chosen but just in case not:

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

Thanks Marie for a very inspiring theme and thank you all for looking.

JUST A LITTLE SWAP

Jayne aka Peppapig and I had a little ATC swap during the month of May. Jayne chose the theme of Zetti and this was my creation.

Credit to Marie's Freebies, LandOfNodStudios, Vanessian Vintage Designs, Sita Designs and ArtsyFartsyQueen. Oh and there is a few little pieces of my own. Font : Copperplate Gothic.

Thank you for looking.

THREE MUSES CHALLENGE 53 - TIME

It's my turn to host the Three Muses challenge this week and I have chosen TIME as my theme.

When I thought about how I might interpret this theme, I immediately saw in my quirky and deviant little mind an image of an exploding timepiece, so that is what I created. So here is SPRING TIME!
