Take a Word Challenge - Blue

 
For this week's blue theme I chose a black and white photo of actress, Maude Fealy, whose face was perfection.  I laid it over random water colour effects and added a word overlay by Lauren Bavin.  "Diamonds" by Jofia Devoe.Texture filters also used.

  5. The effects you've created turned out in a pleasant peaceful image, Marie.
    Thanks for your kind comment. I like to play with words, but unfortunately I'm not sure I can have a nice conversation in English. When I speak it, I don't like what I hear and as I don't have the need to talk in English I never become really fluent.
    BTW, your "Autumn" piece is lovely. I hope someday I go North on this time of the year to find out what Autumn is... :)

  10. A wonderfully dreamy feel to this, Marie. The shades of blue and the blended layers and that look of distraction in her eyes make me think she is dreaming of her sweetheart. A very satisfying piece to contemplate.

  11. She is wonderfully done and so 'floaty'. This would make a great cover for a book

  15. I always wonder if Maud had children. Have to google this once because I think when she had...they would be so proud of their mum.
    She's the most used portrait in challenges and what you created is so well done Marie !!

  16. "Perfection" almost describes how amazing this is, Marie, but I don't think there is just one word to characterize this collage. So I'll try a list:

    divinely
    ethereal
    dreamy
    inspiring
    magical
    transporting
    absolutely
    amazing
