This week at the Muses the theme is BLACKBIRD.  The bird and hat were Googled and the building brushes are by Katie Pertiet.

Take a Word Challenge - Black, white and a touch of red.

This week at TAW the challenge theme is black, white and a touch of red.  I took a perfectly normal coloured photo from Google Images and used added textures and filters to make it into something rather creepy.

The Three Muses Challenge - ANIMAL

This week at the Muses the challenge theme is ANIMALS.  The small girl and the cat are images from Graphics Fairy, coloured by me.  The background is an old dictionary page.

Take a Word Challenge - MALE

This started as a sepia photo of a man (Googled).  I have overpainted him in ArtRage digital painting software and added a background by Lorie Davison.

The Three Muses Challenge - STEAMPUNK

This week at the Muses the theme is STEAMPUNK.  My take on it is (very) early days of steampunk. Adam and Eve were Googled and altered.  The book frame and background by Lorie Davison.

Take a Word Challenge - PURPLE

This week at Take a Word we are featuring the colour purple.  Bits and pieces from Itkupilli, an image from Wikimedia Commons (altered, coloured), a lot of blending and layering and Googled arches.

The Three Muses Challenge - Water

I call this picture "Head above Water" (for obvious reasons).  Thanks to Bev for a nice challenge. The image is from Wikimedia Commons.  I have lost the information which refers to the designer of the water effects.

Digital Whisper Challenge - Puppy

This week the theme at Digital Whisper is "Puppies".  The image is from Paper Whimsy, the background from Lorie Davison and the dog from Google Images.

Take a Word Challenge - Fruit

This week at Take a Word the challenge theme is FRUIT.  The image is from a painting by Modigliani.  The grape "hat", frame and background are from Itkupilli.

The Three Muses Challenge - WORD

This week Ann is challenging us to think of a word for 2017.  Mine is "anticipation".  The beautiful image was found at Wikimedia Commons.  The flowers, frame and background are from Itkupilli.
