Three Muses - Long Ago & Far Away

I went with "long ago" on this one, and a vintage wedding photo from Art-E-Zine. Background and "sprig" by Miss Honey. I love to look at the old photos and wonder where and how their lives played out. Thank you for going back in time with me!

  3. Gorgeous work, Bev. I love the old fashioned wedding outfits so much more than the modern "ballroom gowns" that pass for wedding dresses today. This is so pretty with the sprigs.

  15. What a lovely collage, Bev! All the ingredients - the photo, the frame, the poppy seeds - make such a harmonius yet interesting whole. And you are so right about old photos: the people in them can be relatives or strangers, but in any case one starts to think about their life stories.

  21. Bev, this is quite lovely.Simply elegant. I always wonder when I look at photos what were they thinking at the exact moment they were immortalized in time. I love the vintage photos with sepia tones.They have so much more character.
