The Three Muses Challenge - Angels

The background, which includes some added embellishments, comes from Lily, at After Five Designs.

The angel is a mishmash of pieces from various sources. The face (altered) is a Flickr-free-to-use image from Suzee Que.

The wings, violin and bow are by Irene Alexeeva now at Scraporchard.

The crown, hair and body by ME!

  21. I really love your angel collage, Marie! The golden colours are wonderful, and there are such lovely details and embellishment. And, yes, music really is an angelic phenomenon.

  22. Stunning Marie - my late husband was a professional violinist so I always love things with violins on them although I do fear the poor mite would have difficulty playing as she's holding the wrong end of the bow!!! But Music truly is the language of angels and you've represented it perfectly.

  23. Oh, this is so beautiful. Somehow a bit sad (I don't know why - maybe I'm listening too sad music now), but I love it, very touching piece of art.

  24. Oh Marie, you just get better and better, if that is possible, this is gorgeous : the colours, the music and that hair to die for. Jaw droppingly exquisite.

  25. And a beautiful language it is too! Such a great piece - love all the little details.

  26. Marie, to me you are the queen of magic. I just love and adore the way you can make diogital art and make it look so "touchable". I adore this whimsical angel, I love her cut out wings, her crown, the way the shadow underneith the wings makes her seem to fly in mid air, very very clever!!!
