Mixed Media Monday - Woman

I love the women painted by John William Waterhouse. I've used his "Undine" against a backgbround by Lorie Davison of Scrapbook graphics. The quote ("A woman can say more in a sigh than a man can say in a sermon.") makes me smile. When my children talk about my parenting skills, they always mention knowing they'd done something to displease me when I emitted a deep sigh. I love teasing them and saying they were abused children because their mother sighed at them! I do believe sighing is a woman thing!! Thank you for listening and looking!

Sunday Postcard - Music

I'm trying to break out of my "blue mode" I seem to have been in! This was fun to put together. I do so appreciate knowing in advance what the next week's challenge will be so that I have time to work on something at odd moments during the week. My weekend is busy, but I had time to work on this during the week. Credit to Christina Renee Designs and Irene Alexeeva for bits and pieces. Thank you for stopping by.

Art Creations - Gentlemen

Thanks to Terri Kahrs and the ladies at Art Creations for this great image of young gentlemen. They look so very proper! My background and elements are credited to Lorie Davison of Scrapbookgraphics. Thanks for looking!

THREE MUSES - Dreams

I love to do misty, dreamy pieces with many layers and lots of blending. Ann's challenge this week at the Muses gave me a great excuse to do just that. Images are from Flickr Collage Images, overlay from B. Datema at Scrapbookgraphics. Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Postcard - Crackle

Embellishments by Irene Alexeeva, Flickr Collage image. Thanks for the challenge, and thanks for stopping by!

SatWo - Altered Bottle

Thanks to SatWo for a great challenge -- altered bottles. The first thing that came to my mind had to do with the words of one of Jim Croce's beautiful songs....."Time in a Bottle". Thanks to Norma Frances for the background. I put the "time" in the bottle, which I have had for so long I can't remember for sure where I got it...I think from Google. Thank you for stopping by!

ART CREATIONS - SAILOR

What a great image of a little sailor boy we're given by Art Creations this week! He was small, but I'm sure he had big dreams. The background is from Collage Images (Norma Frances), and the steamboat and ticket are Googled. Overlay by B. Datema of Scrapbook Graphics.
