Three Muses Challenge - HATS

 

Thanks to Ann for the hat challenge!  The image is from Graphics Fairy. I converted it to a PS brush and tinted it with digital water colours.  The flourish on the hat is a PS brush.  Background a scanned dictionary page.  Leaf scatter from ArtRage software.

I love collages because they can be as sane or as silly as we like.  Mona and the book were Googled, other bits and pieces by Irene Alexeeva and Creativewings Designs. Quotation by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

All my own work, painted in ArtRage with mouse!  The most difficult thing to do with a mouse is print. Quote by Pablo Picasso.

Take a Word Challenge - BEACH

I have to confess this picture was created some years ago and, pushed for time, I took the easy way out.  The bathing beauty is from a collection from Tangie Baxter and other bits and pieces by Fiddlette and Ruth Davis.

The Three Muses Challenge - Postage Stamps

 

I googled this postage stamp from an issue featuring famous Australians.  It can be a lot of fun making postage stamp people by adding a body to the stamp.  Takes some moving around and trickery. The body I used is from a 1930's fashion collection by Tangie Baxter.

Take a Word Challenge - Childhood

The quote is from Helen Hayes, a great stage and film actress from long ago.  The image is from e-vint.com and the background bits and pieces are from Rosey Posey at Scrapbookgraphics.
