The Three Muses Challenge - Blackbirds

The Poe image (altered into postage stamp pose) and blackbird were Googled.  The man in chair minus head) is from my own family album.  I have lost track of the added ephemera which I have had on my computer for years.

  2. I love your Poe, Marie, and the postal stamp effect. I have to admit I'm one of those who loves the black birds, be they raven, crow, or plain old blackbird. There's just something about them! Great art, my dear!

  7. Fantastic work, Marie. Mr. Poe live here in Richmond at one time, and one of the tourist attractions is the Poe House. Love how you made him into a stamp person.

    I sent some visitors your way via one of my blog entries Postage Stamps.
