Three Muses Challenge - Masculine

One of my favourite things to do is using cut and paste collage to alter portraits, re-costuming them and generally making a mockery out of famous paintings. To the artist my apologies.  This was originally a dark and sombre painting by El Greco.  His costume is a flight of fancy  (everything cut from background papers).  The pages, cards and checkered background are by Irene Alexeeva.  Other papers by Kay Balint.

Take a Word Challenge - Clockwork

The beautiful face is from a Botticelli painting.  Background paper - Maya at SBG. Papers used with image - Irene Alexeeva. Clockworks - JenU Designs.

Thanks to Ann for a black and white challenge!!  I made the "room" from background papers by Kay Balint and altered a Flickr free to use image to make her whiter than white and add a black and silver leotard.

Take a Word Challenge - Tattered

Background pieces by Irene Alexeeva and Lorie Davison.  Image is one I have had for many years and I am not sure about its source.

I have created an invitation and matching envelope for this challenge (thanks, Ann).  The "model" is by me.  Bits and pieces by Rosey Posey.  Blackbird Googled.

Take a Word Challenge - Wings

Take a Word Challenge - Memories

This quote is so true it gives me the shivers.  There is no going back - just memories.
