Hats - Take a Word Art Challenge

This one was FUN!  I have a folder full of Hats and put them to good use in Take a Word's theme for the week. 

I love all these critters in their hats!  💙🙃

Mail Art - Sunday Postcard Art

Our theme this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Mail Art.

My first thought was "snail mail," so I used a snail mailing a letter.  😀

Time - Take a Word Art Challenge

Take a Word's theme this week is Time.

I've been saving these ballerina elements to use - and found a good theme to pair them, young and old ballerinas.

When I was a young girl I took dance lessons, tap, ballet, acrobat, and hula.  All four in the space of an hour once a week, with my best friend, Kathy.  

Kathy and I were older than the other students, and while they continued to learn ballet positions and little dances in their ballet slippers, Kathy and I progressed to "toe."  I remember my pink silk toe shoes - just like the ones above.  And being surprised when I first got them, how "hard as a rock" the toes were.  (You have no idea how hard it was to balance on those hard toes at first!)  And the beautiful pink ribbons I wrapped around my ankles, just so.

I wish I still had them, just for the memories.  :)

Sea World - The Three Muses

Our theme this week at The Three Muses is Sea World.  

I've decided to populate this part of the sea floor with some mermaids.  They have quite a life - just sitting around being beautiful in their Sea World. 

You know, I've neer seen a mermaid who wasn't beautiful.  😉

Thanks for visiting - see you next time...

Bright Colors - Take a Word Art Challenge

Bright Colors - Colors of the Rainbow is the theme this week at Take A Word.  Well, I was able to find lots of elements with rainbow colors!  I think half the fun for me in doing these art challenges is finding all the challenge graphics every week!  I'm accumulating quite a collection.

Water - Sunday Postcard Art Challenge

This week's challenge word at Sunday Postcard Art is Water.   It's pretty amazing how many creatures I found made out of water, so I created this little grotto for the Water Creatures to play in! 😁

I just never know where these art challenge words will take me, but it's always an interesting or surprising place!

Black and White with a Splash of Color - Take a Word Art Challenge

The theme this week at Take a Word is Black and White with a Splash of Color.

I love putting together black and white images and then adding some color.  This Audrey Hepburn image came with the Tiffany Box - and I added more of that famous blue to some of the other elements.  Fun!!!

I've always loved Audrey Hepburn and all her movies.  And Moon River was the theme of my Senior Ball in highschool - Hi, Pete! - so that's a special song, too.  ❤

Splash of Red - Take a Word Art Challenge

Our challenge this week at Take A Word is A Splash of Red.  I really like the challenges with colors in the theme.

So this is the Before & After Spa Treatments shop, although the "before" woman going into the building looks as good as the "after" woman coming out.  Just a little whimsy...  🤩

I had a good time putting this one together.  It's funny how there will be a blank page on my laptop -  what to do?  What to do?  Then suddenly inspiration!  And its on....  that's when computer art collage is really fun!

And P.S.  It's true - Happy Girls are the Prettiest!

Sunday Postcard Art - Postage Stamp People

This was an interesting challenge, one I haven't done before - or for that matter, even heard about.  The challenge this week at Sunday Postcard Art is Postage Stamp People.  The piece ABOVE is my entry and I think I've done it correctly.

Okay, so since this was a new one on me, I had to figure out with a little research what Postage Stamp People were!  I loved the samples I found and the collage below is what I made at first. 

But this morning after looking at more Postage Stamp People art when I followed the links at Sunday Postcard Art to Marion's works, I realized I should have a real stamp with a face and add a body to that stamp that flows down nicely.

So I pulled up my first try, which is below, and kept the Abe Lincoln face on the stamp and worked it so that he and my cowboy fit together nicely.  Interesting, huh?  I liked this challenge!  😊
