We all think, at some time, that we have nothing to wear. Well, Muriel really didn't have anything to wear. I had some fun with dressing a lady who was (ahem)
au naturel. I added some sliced up pieces of netting from Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics. The background and elements are from Creativewing Designs.
Yay, I'm the first! This is super, Marie. Made me really laugh out loud! It reminded me of the old Carol Burnett show where they did a Gone with the Wind skit and she pulled the curtains from the window and wore them, curtain rod and all. You have a great sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteShe's fantastic!! Makes me think to the burlesque artist. Your quote makes your art work funny and I just Love it.

My Dear I know the feeling...this is gorgeous Marie I love the monotone color scheme it's so ethereal...beautiful artwork!!!
ReplyDeleteOoohh la la!! How very risque Marie!! I had a friend at school, her name really was Annette Curtain.... poor kid!
ReplyDeleteLove your wicked work as always!
Would have been easier for you if the curtains were damask! What a unique gift you have for making me take an extra pause when viewing your art. Beauatiful, as always. Hugs, Gayle.
ReplyDeleteUnique gift indeed! I agree with Gayle. You just have been in a daring mood when you did this one! Whimsical and fun, as always!
ReplyDeleteHappy OZ Day Marie!! What a superbly beautifull piece this is...how I wish I could do something that subtle... seems to allude me all the time. Really thrilled to see that you can to it so well!

Lovely! You always come up with such creative ways to answer a challenge. I look forward to seeing what you're up to!
ReplyDeleteThis is fab! I love how you did this entire piece. The first thing I ever sewed when I was a child was a dress made from my mothers curtain panel. So this piece spoke to me!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Hugs,
Terri
This must been a precision work Marie with the pieces of netting !!
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks if you were standing beside her to take her measures.
What a detailed work and outstanding design !!
Stunning! Dita Von Tease could take a lesson from her.
ReplyDeleteKeep Well, Chris
Just the outfit for you to celebrate 'Oz Day,' Marie!! Hope you are enjoying the day! Well, what can I say you've certainly gone 'over the top' & fortunately the bottom, too! Spectacular artistry!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!
ReplyDeleteHow resourceful Muriel is - and very fetching too! Love all the little heart and leaf details.
Karen
I adore your work Marie! You always, always come up with something so special. Love your humour. Fantastic! xx
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea, thanks for the smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful entry! Think I have some of those curtains laying around somewhere.....
ReplyDeleteOh Muriel - I think you should draw a line under this outfit! (very poor pun about curtains hidden in there, but you may not have spotted it!!).
ReplyDeleteHappy Australia Day. We have an Aussie colleague, so today we have all stood for your national anthem and then sung Waltzing Matilda, as well as spoken in Australian accents for as long as we could be bothered! Enjoy your day sport.
I think Muriel just wanted to dress up for Australia Day in the most outrageously risque outfit she could find .... and it worked such luscious creamy cream curtains and hearts and flowers to match. Happy Australia Day Marie.
ReplyDeleteMuriel is great!! Love her "dress" of net curtains.
ReplyDeleteSo funny and yet so beautifully done. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI must remember this when I next have a wardrobe crisis! Both stylish and witty, Marie!
ReplyDeleteWell Marie I must say Mureil is lovely. I have been in the midst of cleaning out my closet- maybe I should have invited Muriel over.
ReplyDeletePoor Muriel, even Scarlett O'Hara was in a better situation... Love the great composition and the soft colors.
ReplyDeletevery pretty and old fashioned! A clever girl to "make do" with the curtains! Lovethe whole layout!
ReplyDeleteBonsoir Marie ! Nouvelle mode de lingerie ?
ReplyDeleteJolie composition !
Amitiés Mary.KG
WOW!!! Muriel is Fabulous. I love her.............
ReplyDeleteOh Dear! What will Mother say when she gets home! Oh well! I guess it is better than going doing your best Lady Godiva impersonation, hmmm?
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful weekend!
Bettu
What an absolutely fantastic creation this is, Marie!
ReplyDeleteOh, Marie, you are just too, too talented, my friend! This is hilariously wonderful. And I might say, it is really beautiful in all the soft golden tones.
