TAKE A WORD

BY THE LIGHT OF A SILVERY MOON

We have MOON as our word for inspiration this week and that reminded me of the night Mabel went missing for such a long time I felt the need to go and find her.  It's a good job I did because when I found her she'd cast her shoes and was ankle deep in the waves of a very cold sea staring at the moon.

Of course, she told me some tale about seeing a fleet of dirigibles crossing the moon's path ......  all I know is I didn't see them.  Anyway following her adventure, a hot bath and a soothing drink she was back to her usual self by morning.

TIPPING POINT

We're making art outside its usual boundaries this week and that reminded me of the time I slammed a door rather too hard and the next thing I knew my bathroom was full of sea water and fish ..........

WEATHER OR NOT

This week, in honour of much needed rain pouring down over Perth, Western Oz recently, we have UMBRELLA as our word for inspiration.  My mind turned to 'raining cats and dogs' which made me wonder if they said that in Oz or whether it rained kangaroos and wallabies instead .... and wouldn't it be much less fuss all round if we had a tap (faucet) we could turn on and off for rain as needed .... Oz could get more and we could have much, much, much, much less.   My Muse gave me a steely stare and said that was silly and had me create this instead.

Credit to NumbBumm for the lovely cloud formations, and Sharing Tubes for most of the rest, whilst the blended backgrounds are my own.

Thank you  for looking.

DIGITALMANIA

HIGH TEA

We have BALLOONS as our inspiration at the Three Muses this week which made think of High Tea!

Thank you for taking the time to look.

DARK WHISPER

It's Women Artists month across at Digital Whisper and Frida is our chosen artist.  We were asked to use bright colours to depict her and this is my interpretation.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

This week we're  invited to create MAIL ART at Take a Word and for reasons known only to my Muses  'dark' mail seemed a good idea.

Initially the postcard was black, but a tad too much perhaps, so a nice buff card instead.

Credit to ShadowHouse Creations for the postcard,  Sharing Tubes for the birds and the door, Aurorodreams for the model, insects from Free Png Images,  the remainder from own stock.  Font : Trash.

TAKE A WORD

CAUGHT IN TIME

This week, in honour of St Patrick's Day,  we are taking inspiration from the word GREEN.  I wondered whether I should go for, shamrocks and green hats,  leafy green pastures, or meadows full of spring flowers but in the end I was drawn back to the little girl in the green dress who, together with her sister,  appear daunted by the photo taking process.  Don't you just love their expressions!

THE DISH RAN AWAY WITH THE SPOON

Personally, I tend to think there is a dark and scary side to childhood which no doubt is down to the big bad wolves, poison apples and wicked witches we heard about so often way back then.

Thanks, Bev, for a great theme this week : CHILDREN.

TAKE A WORD

A FINE LADY ON A WHITE HORSE

We've been asked for something WARM this week at Take a Word and that reminded me of the beautifully but strangely dressed lady I saw passing my house the other day.  Seated on a white horse and keeping her eyes straight ahead, never looking right nor left, she trotted past my window.  I watched as she passed and couldn't help but marvel at her warm beauty and the warmness of her glowing skin and vibrant clothes.  Finally at a bend in the road she moved out of sight and I never saw her again.
