KILLING TIME

Yes.  I confess it.  I am still 'Living Out Loud' with Angi Sullins and Silas Toball!   It seems nothing is to be done and I can only hope I work my way through it ..... soon.

I knew the theme was TIMEPIECE and I knew those clocks were ticking and would pop up somewhere, but in the meantime, I could only think of building my background layers ready for the giraffe.  Don't ask!

As you see the clocks did turn up.  It appears someone had been killing time.

NO ANIMALS WERE HURT IN THE MAKING OF THIS PIECE!

Thank you for looking.

 I think I'm feeling better now. 

TAKE A WORD

YANKEE DOODLE

This, believe it or not,  is my interpretation on the theme of WINGS!  I'm still in my Angi Sullins and Silas Tobell inspiration mode and I so wanted to create a fish ...... on a bicycle.  Yes, I know, I can't explain it either.

The question was where would the wings fit in?  The fish definitely looked silly wearing wings and anyway they still looked like fins how ever hard I tried.  Well the fish on a bicycle would not be denied and so I made it and in desperation added a blue bird (wings .... get it?) to his hat.  No sooner had I done that than the hat disappeared off the fish's head.  I think the blue bird did it!

Having gone through this odd creative process I still wasn't to be left alone.  'Feather in his cap' popped into my head and I seemed to remember there being a song.  Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a pony, he wore a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.   Yes, that's the one!

I know.  I know.  There's no hope for my sanity.

Thanks, Marie.

SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

Penelope had settled down in front of the TV with a glass of wine when all of a sudden the hairs on the back of her neck began to bristle .... she had the distinct feeling she was not entirely alone!

Hee hee, it's my turn to host at the Three Muses!

ROSES

It's Spring 'down under' so the gardens will be full of ROSES which is handy since ROSES is our word for inspiration this week at Take a Word!

VINTAGE

I confess I am not usually even slightly moved to participate in Halloween type art so imagine my surprise when this VINTAGE themed piece turned out to be just that ...... trick or treat ..... the lot.

I wonder, is there some medication I could take?

Thank you, Bev, for a lovely theme.

TAKE A WORD

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE

I love this lady, who for me,  epitomizes everything Art Deco and so fits perfectly into a Crime Film Poster for Rene Clair's adaptation of Agatha Christie's : And Then There Were None.  A good thing since guest host, Anja, has chosen POSTER (preferably crime related) as her word for inspiration at this week's Take a Word challenge.

To be truthful, I have no idea what the film (or book) is about but when I found the clipart hand and dagger and the fizzy pop advert lady, who to me looks lofty, arrogant and distant, even before I gave her a cigarette in a holder,  I knew it would create a story. 

Everything I've used to create  this poster is free to use (unless you tell me differently).  Credit should be given for the fonts to Obsidian Dawn.

Thank you for looking.

ENJOY THE RIDE

Matilda and Penelope were adventurous types and liked to indulge in foreign and exotic travels whenever they could. This was possibly due to their mother frequently telling them : Life's a Journey so  Enjoy the Ride.
