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.

incarcerated

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.

Missing you

Take a Word asked for Windows and my muse asked for a lonely cat missing his old friend...

Background: my photo; texture: Kim Klassen.

Paprika

Take a Word asked for HOT COLORS. I found the photo below in my aunt's album. I have no idea who she is or when it was taken. It doesn't matter, she looked so sweet! In her new outfit she also looks hot, that's why I called her Paprika.

Les filles de Bouguereau

The theme in Take a World is BEAUTY and what could be more beautiful than the girls painted by William-Adolphe Bouguereau? At some point I thought that these were all the same girl at different moments of her life. Now, it seems that there are two girls maybe sisters... What do you think?

Texture: Kim Klassen

Tio Zé

The Three Muses asked for MALE OF THE SPECIES and I decided to give a better life to an old photo of my uncle José Marques. You can see the original photo below.

Chaplin's pieces of time

To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!

Charlie Chaplin

This week the theme in Take a Word is TIMEPIECES and this was the excuse I needed to bring back Charlie Chaplin again!
