Colour Me Happy! - 3Muses Challenge

I thought it would be ideal to combine one of  my New Year project goals (a series of Louisiana based Major Arcana Tarot cards) with the Colour Me Happy!  theme from the Three Muses!

So this is my brilliantly colored Fool with some uniquely inspired Louisiana details!

The Year Rolls around again

These are the last two in my Four Seasons series.

It's less than a week until the new year begins and my studio space and my online spaces are still in a state of disarray.

I would love to start the new year with my space organized and my plans and ideas ready.

What do you have planned for the new year?

The Golden Egg

So Blue - Digitalmania challenge

Fiery - TAW Orange challenge

Balloon Walk - Digitalmania challenge

War of the Roses - Banksy Digitalmania Challenge

Our challenge this week at Digitalmania was Banksy.

I thought it would be an interesting change to go medieval on this challenge!

Henry the Eighth - Digitalmania Banksy Challenge

Out Foxed

Catherine the Not so Bad - Digitalmania Banksy challenge

Our challenge this week at Digitalmania was Banksy.

I'm a little ambivalent on the subject of graffiti.  On the one hand I dislike 

the tagging sort that is little more than vandalism.

Yet, when you see a clever witty piece by someone like Banksy, 

I can't help but admire the artistry of it.

My take on the Banksy challenge took me back to my love of history.  

Even in medieval times, surely, there were young vandals making trouble 

and tagging the ever so majestic castle walls...

Paris Stroll - 3Muse Umbrella Challenge

Maybe my Victorian Kitty Girl isn't actually in Paris.

Maybe she is actually sashaying down the street in a photo I took in New Orleans.

Certainly, it all seems to have a Parisian feel.

The challenge this week at Three Muses was a Rain / Umbrella challenge.

My Victorian Kitty Girl might actually be carrying a parasol to keep the sun from bronzing her perfect lily white complexion, but in New Orleans, an afternoon storm is just a few hours or minutes away!

The Big Bad meets the Three - 3Muses Challenge

I admit that I am a little torn here.

On the one hand, I would really hate for anything

to happen to such adorable little girls.

On the other hand, it is three versus one.

I think our Big Bad might be

a little over-matched on this one.

(Also, wolves are endangered!)

Mr Lumberjack and his axe are NOT ok!

The Three Muses challenge this week was all about the power of Three.

As soon as I saw these little Victorian girls, I knew I had found my three.

Something Blue - TAW challenge

Somewhere over the rainbow,

something blue and beautiful.....

I suppose it was inevitable that I went there some time or another....

Column a la Eleganza - Digitalmania challenge

My daughter and her clones make their support both essential and elegant.

Music - 3Muses Challenge

Enjoy the stately leisure performance of 

our vintage child ballerina dancing to music only she can hear!

Showbiz - Take a Word Challenge

This weeks challenge over at Take a Word was Showbiz.

I've always had a weakness for the original Vamp, Theda Bara.

Checking my posting list, I can't believe that it's been fifteen days since I responded to a challenged or posted.  My schedule has been unusually packed but I missed this so much.

I'm glad to have had time to fit a piece in!

Creativity is always a joy.

The Bellydancer and the Snake - Digitalmania Freestyle challenge

Arched - Digitalmania challenge

Dandy - Script 3Muse challenge

And a fine looking man he is!

The Elusive Whalephant - Take a Word Wild Animal Challenge

Shown here, in it's natural environment, is the elusive whalephat....
