The Three Muses Challenge/52 Starlets Challenge - "I've been steampunked"

I chose Greta Garbo as my subject for steampunking.  She was originally a three-quarter black and white portrait.  I added colour, lengthened and overpainted her pants and found a great pair of vintage boots on Google.  The background and some bits and pieces are by Lauren Bavin and other elements by Ztampf.

    She looks as though she is used to being steampunked every day ... it must be her exceptional acting skills me thinks. Take a bow, Miss Marie.
