Nothing suits you like a suit

From right to left, suits of 1910, 1921, 1934, 1942, 1958 (click to enlarge)

The theme for this week at The Three Muses is HAUTE COUTURE. I've decided for women in suits in the first half of the 20th century. Always elegant.

Background is a photo of mine edited; girls by Tom Tierney (Dover).

Waiting for the hummingbird

This week at Take a Word the challenge is to celebrate the world of nature.  I don't know this flower's name. What I do know is that the hummingbirds love it. Maybe fairies love it too...

Background: my photo; fairy (cutout and colored): Graphics Fairy; texture: Elné.

This week The Three Muses challenge is to take inspiration from a favourite ARTIST or ARTISTIC STYLE. My artist of choice was Grete Stern, German photographer, nationalized Argentine, especially her photomontage series on dreams for a women's magazine column titled “Psychoanalysis will help you”, from 1948 to 1951.

Background (altered): Pareerica; cage: Mr. Whiskers; girl: Doctor Macro.

Ginger and Inky

Take a Word asked for Orange & Black and I went for Halloween as I wanted to do something with the witch's photo I had in my stash for years.

Witch: Etchika Choureau, french actress, in Doctor Macro - cut and colored by me; textures: Beth Rimmer; pumpkins: daftopia.

Ariel's new castle

The Three Muses asked for castles and I decided to play a little bit with Disney's World. Why not a Glass Castle to Ariel?

Main Photo by Annie Leibowitz with Julianne Moore and Michael Phelps; castle: Cinderella's castle in Disney World; fish in the foreground: AbsurdWorldPreferred; there are also a background and a texture from my stash.

I put a spell on you and now you're mine

This week the theme is BE-WITCHED in Take a Word.

Texture: PinkBlossom; pumpkins: daftopia; the crazy lady is me posing as a wicked witch in a Halloween party several years ago.
