THE THREE MUSES


It's TAKE FRIGHT at the Three Muses this week .. and I thought a perfect opportunity to introduce you to the Queen of Under Earth!  Quite a fright but nothing a little make up wouldn't remedy.

Forgive me if I don't get around to commenting on your work this week it's because I will be swanning off to the Highlands of Scotland for a week, where hopefully there will be much eating, drinking, walking and pampering going on.  :D

TAKE A WORD


We have VINTAGE as our word for inspiration this week at TAKE A WORD and that reminded me of this beautiful photograph I spied at a flea market last week.  I wonder who she was and what was making her smile so happily?

Nope, that's a wicked lie, I didn't find it at a flea market, this is all credit to Itkupilli.

Thank you for looking.

TAKE A WORD


YES DEAR!

We have MASCULINE  as our word for inspiration at TAKE A WORD this week and so off I went to search my stash for a suitable man!  Then I found him (and her) and knew my Muse would do the rest.  And so she did!

TAKE A WORD


ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL

Marie has chosen UMBRELLA as our word for inspiration this week at TAKE A WORD and that reminded me of  the one I saw sailing majestically across the sky a week last Tuesday morning.   Yes ... as true as I sit here there it was sailing silently past Big Ben.   Well, if I'm honest there were two brollies really,  the one impersonating a boat and the one which I can only guess was used to shade the 'gentleman' from inclement weather.   The 'boat' was spilling water as it travelled and that's what caused everyone walking along the embankment to be using their brolly .... I expect they thought it was raining.

I mention all this because it occurred to me there are so many good uses for an umbrella if only we give it enough thought!

THE THREE MUSES

IT'S ALL A GAME

We are taking GAME BOARDS as our inspiration at the Three Muses this week and I thought you might be interested in this game I have tucked away for a rainy day!  What can I say!

Credit to JoesSistah for the basis of the background and to NumbBumm for the clouds (they are great clouds and I use them all the time).  The remainder is dis n dat from my stash.

Thank you for looking.

TAKE A WORD


We have INSECTS as our word for inspiration at Take a Word this week and that reminded me of the haunting song I heard from my window the other night.  It was dark when I peeped out but I saw there the strangest girl I have seen for a long time ... she appeared to be calling the spiders to her .... in preparation for Halloween I imagine.  A bit early in my opinion.

Credit to CAJoline for the most part though one or two pieces of free to use clipart were also used.  My own textures were used for layering and blending.

Thank you for looking.

HAPPINESS IS ......


HAPPINESS IS A BOX OF CHOCOLATES 

For this vintage beauty it's chocolate at least!  Me, it's the smell of new mown grass, children playing, a bowl of geraniums reflected in a dark wood surface, a walk in the sunshine, wild flowers, solitude, boats bobbing - waves gently caressing their underbellies,  blank sheets of paper, remembered childhood games,  old friends,  the smells from primary school (plasticine, chalk and poster paints) oh and chocolate, of course ... and so, so much more .....

Credit to PaperMoonsKits for the gorgeous array of chocolate, the vintage beauty is in the public domain and the fonts are Times New Omen and Cooper Std.
