Angel of the castle

This week at Take a Word the theme is WINGS. I went for a classic approach: angels.

Background is a photo of mine edited; wings by Sylwia77; texture by Kim Klassen; 

Dancing in the sky

This week Take a Word theme is BLUE AND WHITE and I imagined a young Colleen Moore still dancing the Charleston but now in the sky... In her photos she looks a glad and vivacious girl, different from some silent movie stars with a very gloomy gaze.

My kind of angel

Take a Word asked for ANGELS and here it is my own version of them: a lovely kid with butterfly wings.

I was searching for a meaningful quote on angels and stumbled with something better, quotes from children about angels:

"Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are working on it." - Olive, age 9

"It's not easy to become an angel! First, you die. Then you go to heaven, and then there's still the flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes." - Matthew, age 9

"Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead." - Daniel, age 9

"My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not much good for science." - Henry, age 8

"What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them." - Sarah, age 7

"Angels live in cloud houses made by God and his son, who's a very good carpenter." - Jared, age 8

"I hear funny angels all the time in my dreams. And I'm sticking with that no matter how many people tell me I'm crazy". - Molly, age 8

Ready to fly

Hello! Takea Word asked for wings this week and I’ve decided to build my own winged being.

Winged being’s pieces and bits: The Sum of All Crafts; background: Mr. Whiskers; texture: Kim Klassen and Wallpaperswide; sky: Ajanime22.

Gothic arches, wig and wings

I love the gothic aesthetic, I find it beautiful and romantic. However, I've been there several times. So, I decided to stick with the Gothic architecture only. Then I added some luxury to the  scenery by including one of the fantastic Marina Bychkova's dolls a la Marie Antoinette. Hope you like it.

Background (altered): Historyfish (photochrom dated between 1890 and 1900 and available from the Library of Congress of La Sainte-Chapelle, located near the Palais de la Cité, on the Île de la Cité in the heart of Paris). 
Amazing Doll (altered): Marina Bychkova.
Wings:  brush by Obsidian Dawn.

Hushpuppy's wings

Hello, folks! This week Take a Word asked for wings. Maybe I was inspired by the Oscar, maybe it was this amazing little girl, but it occurred to me that Hushpuppy deserved huge golden wings... The movie has just premiered around here and I haven't seen it yet. But I will!

Even angels pray

Até os anjos oram.

Hello! I did this angelic piece for Take a Word which theme this week is ANGEL.

I've not been around lately because I moved to a smaller apartment and I'm still struggling to turn this place into a home. I hope I can soon figure everything out and finally find time to play with you all again. 

Thanks for visiting and for leaving a comment.

Não tenho andando por aqui ultimamente porque me mudei para um  apartamento menor e estou ainda lutando para transformá-lo em um lar. Espero conseguir resolver tudo logo e finalmente ter tempo para os desafios novamente.

Alone

Hello! This is my interpretation to the The Three Muses challenge: ALONE. Blame my muse. :)

Lovely insects

Hello! I've been working so much that I couldn't find time and disposition to play with my digital collages... Fortunately, I managed to play this week. The theme is INSECTS in Take a Word. As I'm not a big fan of them I decided that showing you some cute babies dressed as insects wouldn't be out of topic! :) They are so adorable that I doubled the bet!

My bird stamp album page

I hope you love birds too. It is economical. It saves going to heaven.

Emily Dickinson

I wasn't going to do anything like this, but I couldn't chose my favorite bird stamp... Then, I decided to post all of them (or at least all those I was able to tuck in my page).  This stamp album page is my contribution to this week challenge in The Three Muses: POSTAGE STAMPS.

The dog, his owners, their girlfriend and her daughter

- But mom, they don't have wings! What is that? A propeller?And look at that dog! So weird.

- When you get used to the idea you'll see they are the kindest men you ever met. 

- They? Are you dating both?!?

The challenge in The Three Muses is hats, crowns, wings and things and I came up with this little fantasy.   I've just realized I missed the "things" part... Anyway, I hope you like it.

The Queen of the Crows

Hi! The Three Muses challenged us to do some art using DOORWAYS. Here is mine, a steampunk queen very charming.

I did the queen combining pieces and parts of fashion runways photos. She's très chic and wears a Valentino skirt and an Alexander Mcqueen (by Sarah Burton) top. Doorway by General Vyse (deviantArt); Crows by Shoofly Stock (deviantArt); Overlays by Buzillo Stock (deviantArt).
