The Three Muses Challenge - Fowl Play

Enlarge for full effect! I had some fun with Joseph (and his amazing technicolor dreamcoat). He is made mostly from paper backgrounds by Berna Datema at Scrapbookgraphics with a little bit of painting from me.

    Joseph is a stunning rooster Marie- has a beautiful paper-quilt look to it! Great idea with context to the musical. I'm off to cook dinner now (not chicken)!

    Fabulous Marie - you have really brightened up what seems to be a rather grey day here in the UK. He's really strutting his stuff there - I bet the hens are falling over themselves to get to him!

    Marie, when I think you can't get any better, you come up with something as wonderful as this. He's cool, he's retro AND he is sooooo colourful. Your sense of humour is in top form my friend. You deserve a standing ovation.

    Hi Marie, just wanted to say thank you for your kind words at my blog :) I'm very happy you enjoyed my story :) It was such fun to make! You're right about english not beeing my first language. Norwegian is what I speak and write. I started learning english at the age of ten, and the fact that most music and films are in english is an advantage :) But I'm happy to hear my english skills were good enough for you to enjoy my story :)

    Thank you soooo much Marie and keep smiling!!

    Linda
