The Three Muses Challenges - Stamp People

This week Ann has challenged us to create Stamp People.  I found this great stamp featuring Tennessee Williams to start with then a googled, beige suited model which fitted the stamp picture.  I then got a bit carried away finding posters of his many plays and borrowed the headings.  Believe it or not, these are not ALL his plays (there are more).  Grungy background from Lorie Davison.  Everything else from Mr Google.

The Three Muses Challenge - Song Lyrics - Eleanor Rigby (All the Lonely People) by the Beatles

 

 

I have chosen "Eleanor Rigby" by the Beatles - Enlarge for better view.

 

Ah, look at all the lonely people.  Ah, look at all the lonely people.

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been

Lives in a dream,

Waits at the window, wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?

 

All the lonely people

Where do they all come from?

All the lonely people

Where do they all belong?

 

The window (altered) is from Lori Davison at Scrapbookgraphics (textures and overlays added).  The jars are also from Lorie Davison.

The image of the lady is a Photoshop Brush the name of which has been lost in the mists of time.
