The sea and the mermaid

The Three Muses theme for this week is SEA WORLD.

The mermaid is Ann Blyth in the movie Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid (1948). I cutout, colored and applied filters to the image. Thanks to Beth Rimmer and Createwing Designs.

Take a Word theme for this week is CIRCLES. I don't know how I ended up with this, blame my muse. :)

Circles layer is mine as well as the background; there's a beach photo that is a free background. Butterflies: Dover.

Dreamy purple and turquoise beach

The theme for this week at The Muses is a color combination - Turquoise and Purple. My muse was longing for a sunset on a beach paradise.

Background is a free wallpaper; some elements by Createwing Designs.

Dreaming of Paradise

This week at Take a Word the theme is TURQUOISE.  

Background: Beth Rimmer; overlays: Rebecca Mcmeen; girls: Jantzen 1950s ads.

Embracing my solitude

To go out with the setting sun on an empty beach is to truly embrace your solitude.

Jeanne Moreau

As the winter approached, La Gioconda has escaped again from her accommodations in The Louvre and has gone to some hidden island in the South Pacific where she won't be disturbed by the paparazzi.

This is my contribution to Take a Word which  theme this week is ALTERING MONA.

Background  and Mona's body by Beth Rimmer; other elements by Createwing Designs; textures by Kim Klassen and Fabricate Stock.

Enjoy Summer

Don't be shy, Marla. Take off your shoes and join me!

Hello! This is my contribution to Take a Word which theme this week is BEACH.

Background, frame and elements: Beth Rimmer; girls: E-Vint (I cut out them, colored and designed their bathing suits - thanks Marie for the tip).

Art déco beach

Hi! The theme in Take a Word is WARM COLORS and it reminded me of Miami Beach and its art déco architecture.

The background is a photo I took there; the goddesses, birds and sun are part of the façade of the building bellow (also my photo). There's a Kim Klassen texture and a pattern that is a Dover free sample.

Fading colors of the past

Hello, friends. The Three Muses asked for something VINTAGE. I did a remake of this collage, which I never liked much. I like the new version more. Hope you enjoy it too.

Thanks to Beth Rimmer (some elements) and Kim Klassen (textures). Background is a photo of mine.

Olá, amigos. As três musas pediram algo VINTAGE. Fiz uma releitura desta colagem, da qual nunca gostei muito - achava muito poluída. Da nova versão gosto mais. Espero que você também goste.

Behind the curtains

Hi there! This week, the challenge in The Three Muses is THE SEA. Good occasion for some mermaids, or at least one, better than that only if she inhabits the Caribbean sea and has a slight resemblance to Daryl Hanna. The curtains represents that this is only a dream and you are back to cold wind and luckily wild geese heading South :0) .

The background is a photo of mine. Mermaid is a blending of two Daryl Hanna's photos.
