The Three Muses - Hand

The theme this week at The Three Muses is Hand. 

I wanted to use the graphic element with two baby monkeys in a woman's hand, and built the rest around that.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time...

Sunday Postcard Art - Sewing

Our challenge this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Sewing - must have a dressmakers dummy.

I found a photo with five mannequins and decided to dress them all up as members of the Red Hat Society.  In the foreground is the poor woman sewing more purple dresses.

Another FUN challenge!

A strange thing happened when I was searching for a photo of mannequins/dressforms/dressmakers dummy.  My own personal photo popped up with the others labeled Mannequin.

When I was selling all my things before I took off on my motorhome trek, I snapped photos of lots of my things that I was selling in my estate sale.  This mannequin stood in the corner of my bedroom and I used to hang scarfs, hats, jackets, etc. on it. 

I posted about the estate sale and included the mannequin picture in one of my RV blog posts.  It must have been lifted out and placed in a search engine.  Weird, huh?

Thanks for checking in,  see you next time...

Take a Word Art Challenge - Wings

I love this one!  The challenge at Take A Word is Wings - bird wings, angel wings, fairy wings, any kind of wings.

A bit ago I got this cool element of a dolphin coming up out of the water.  Then right after the Wings challenge was posted, I came across these wings made of water.  Perfect match-up!  Isn't he cute?  Dolphins always look like they're smiling.  😇

See you next time...

The Three Muses Art Challenge - Hearts

Hearts is the challenge this week at The Three Muses.  We all love our pets so much, I went to hearts-love-dogs right away.

I loved this element of a dog waiting for the ball to be tossed - the concentration on his face!  He's so focused...

And I had to include this one, too.  Here's my dog-faced daughter - best friend - traveling companion, Katie.  She's 12 years old, a rescue dog that I adopted when she was 1 year old.  We've been through a lot together, many miles traveling, lots ups and downs, tears and laughter, so  many different experiences.  My special girl.

See you next time...

Sunday Postcard Art - Envelopes

Our theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Envelopes. 

I was going to do this one with a large business desk that has a stack of mail on it, that'd be the Envelopes, and fluff it up from there.  But then I found the little element with an envelope bird nest full of birds and that kind of became my focus - and my desk changed to a personal home desk.  Seemed more appropriate if there was going to be an envelope nest there. 

I actually have that zen doodle design book - I used it here along with a zen doodle art piece in progress.  That one isn't mine.  Wish it was!  😊 I think it's beautiful.

See you next time...

Take a Word Art Challenge - Eggs

The "word" at Take a Word this week is Eggs.  So here's my little chicken farm where the eggs come from.  I think it's interesting that chocolate eggs hatch such colorful chicks, don't you?  Ha!

The chickens and their rooster seem to think so, too.

See you next time...

 

The Three Muses Art Challenge - Buttons and Bows

The Three Muses theme this week is Buttons and Bows.  When I think of buttons and bows, I think of sewing and crafts because I guess that's what I've usually done with them, on greeting cards and other projects.  In my craft room - back in the day - I had containers full of buttons in the smaller one and bows in the larger one. 

So here are my little bears in their attic room, with containers of buttons and bows.  😊

See you next time...

Sunday Postcard Art Challenge - Sisters

Sunday Postcard Art has Sisters as it's theme this week for our Art Challenge.

Three little sisters walking in the rain - and who knows?  Maybe the three large cows are sisters, too.  😉

See you next time...

Take a Word Art Challenge - Green

It's a Green Challenge this week at Take a Word - very appropriate since St. Patrick's Day is coming up on March 17.

Of course I went on a hunt for gnomes, fairies, leprechauns, pots of gold and beer.  That poor little gnome in the middle tripped and spilled a whole mug of beer.  Aaawwwww,  that was too bad.  💚

I also loved the quote from Winston Churchill - such an English thing to say, right?  I'm part English and part Irish and I love them both, of course!   

Happy St. Patrick's Day, a bit early.  🍀 

See you next time...

The Three Muses Art Challenge - Animal

Our challenge theme this week at The Three Muses is Animal (not cat or dog).

I had recently collected some Peacock elements and wanted to use them.  Are they considered animals?  Well, they aren't mineral or vegetable, so...   Isn't the large male with the open tail feathers a beauty?

See you next time...

Take a Word Art Challenge - Blue and White

The challenge theme at Take a Word this week is Blue and White.  This was a fun one! 

I love walls and windows and doors, etc. and had this element in my stash of a blue wall with lots and lots of windows.  Perfect.  I worked on the wall a bit and put it through a couple of programs to give it more texture.  Then I found some white graphics and added them in some of the windows, as well as LOTS of eyes - The better to see you with, my dear!   Then came the monkeys, elves, fairies, and animals and a BIG beautiful blue eye watching over the scene. 

My favorites in the windows are the monkeys/gorilla.  😁  I have a feeling we're going to see that baby monkey again.  I love that element.

As I said, this was really fun.  If you have some extra time click on the Take a Word link to see some of the other entries - even though it was just posted yesterday there are a lot of them already.  It's amazing how one theme will go in so many directions! 

See you next time...
