ANOTHER VISIT TO SCOTLAND ...

Visiting Scotland with Mr Ann and only (but most favourite) son Matthew, and Mrs Matthew for a week.  Much snow and freezing temperatures forecast ... but hey!!

Will be back around the 9th to partake in more challenges  ... hopefully!

See you soon.

THE THREE MUSES

CREAM OR LEMON!

We're creating HATs to astonish and amaze this week at the Three Muses and that made me think about extravagant, wondrous, gorgeous and indulgently yummy hats.  In fact, hats good enough to eat.  And that made me think about the post Christmas diet I'm going to start soooooon  ... so it's lemon for me please .....

Credit to CAJoline for the scrumptious hat (and the tea with lemon), Efie provided the girl who is diving right in, whilst Magritte loaned me the lounging lady and Modigliani lent me the sophisticated one.

Thank you for looking.

TAKEA WORD

I AM WOMAN is our prompt for the Take a Word challenge this week and that's when Mabel decided she'd like to show you her I AM WOMAN wild side.  Well I don't like to encourage her because, as you all know, once she's out of the box I have one heck of a job trying to get her back in.  Anyway just this once and for your delectation and delight, may I present the one the only Mabel!!

GOSSIPS

Our word for inspiration this week is COUPLES which reminded me of my last visit to London where, in Covent Garden,  I noticed this pair attracting attention by sitting completely motionless ..... at a guess I'd say they were gossiping. 

Credits : all my own work.

Thank you for looking.

THE THREE MUSES

It's BUTTERFLIES this week at the Three Muses and that reminded me of the very strange butterfly I found on my rose bush one day last Summer!

A LITTLE BIRDIE TOLD ME

Marie has chosen ZETTI as our theme for the first TAW challenge of 2015 and this is my interpretation.

The girl's face was black and white and poor quality so I gave it a coat or two of paint in Photoshop,  borrowed Mona Lisa's hands (she was on her travels for the holidays and didn't need them that day).  The outfit is a colour wheel duplicated, layered, blended and morphed.  The background is several of my own photos blended together and the zetti birds are ArtRaged and from my own stash.  the postage stamp frame is courtesy of Honey Designs.

Wishing you all a happy 2015.

Thank you for looking.
