Take a Word Challenge - TIME

The image (coloured) is from E-Vint.com, the clock from Kubivet freebies and the background and clouds from Irene Alexeeva.

All my own work except for the scattering of flowers which comes from my ArtRage painting software.

Take a Word #51 - Black and White

Hermione is my own creation (I know how she feels).  Edging by Kate Pertiet.  Other actions from ArtRage softwear.

The Three Muses Challenge - Circles and Squares

I'm late with my circles and squares.  I  made a pattern with circles and squares starting with nine squares of solid colour and overlaying them with semi transparent squares and circles.  I then applied a sphere action to the pattern, distorting it into a circle. 

Gothic Arch - Blue

The beautiful image is from a magazine cover (Flickr free-to-use).  The background is by Irene Alexeeva and the butterfly was Googled.

Gothic Arch Challenge - Classic Literature

Thanks to Kris for the great challenge.  My arch is made entirely of Google Images.

Collage Obsession - Winter Circus, every night at 8 o'clock.

For my friend Sherry I have used EVERY sample picture in her challenge.  The clown becomes Napoleon, the zebra has a new (strongman's) head, the "professor" has a new body (also from the strongman), one of the Geisha ladies has a new face (black and white altered), and the other Geisha has a new body (the ostrich).  A lot of overpainting and cutting and pasting (digitally).
Banner and circus notices are from Tangie Baxter at SBG.

Take a Word #50 - Blackbird

Here is a little known fact about Edgar Allan Poe.  He was intrigued by blackbirds and he decided to keep a pair in his home.  Unfortunately, they were prolific breeders and soon he found himself overtaken and his house was full of squawking birds!
All items Googled.
