The Three Muses Challenge #8 - INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE

My collage is made from a googled portrait of Jane Austen and ephemera from Irene Alexeeva and Christine Honsinger/Sherrie JD. The quote is by Jane Austen.

  10. Marie as I said on the Muses earlier this was well worth waiting for, it is truly a wonderful piece and totally in keeping with the period .... and I'm so pleased you decided to keep Jane Austin as your inspiration.

    Kudos for a very inspirational theme.

  11. Great theme you chose Marie. Your piece is beautifully composed - so very elegant and evocative of one of Ms Austen's novels (or all of them, really!) =))

  12. What a lovely piece of art and an acute quote. I often forget how few years Miss Austen lived.
    I did not have time to do an art piece this week but I wanted you to know that this was a wonderful idea
    And I did spend time thinking about this…..
    Hope to be back next week…

  13. Marie, this is such a beautiful and romantic piece as the lovely Miss Austin deserves. She is definitely one of my favorites, and you have done her proud. The layered postcard effect and all the ephemera and elements you used here capture her essence beautifully. Great challenge theme too!
