Women in Red

Fashion Illustration - 1920s to 1980s

This week at Take a Word the theme is A SPLASH OF RED. It took me ages to find, cut and edit all these girls. Background is mine.

Isn't it amazing to observe how fashion changed throughout time? I think our time is the best when it takes to clothes because finally we can wear whatever we want. 

Delightfully different

If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.

Maya Angelou 

This week at Take a Word the theme is BLACK, WHITE AND A TOUCH OF RED.

Background: Marisa Lerin and Amptone Stock; overlay: Kim Klassen; elements: Rebecca McMeen.

Umbrella spell against evil eye

This week at the Muses the theme is UMBRELLA. My muse has been somewhat unbridled in recent days...

Thanks to Betty Rimmer, Mr. Whiskers, Holliewood and Rucola Designs.

Beauty in red and green

Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.

Audrey Hepburn

The theme this week in Take a Word is RED AND GREEN. 
I invoked - again - lovely Audrey to help me to accomplish the task...

I'm sending you a big and warm bear hug and my wishes of a wonderful Christmas.

Hot Dance

The challenge in The Three Muses this week is SOME LIKE IT HOT - WARM COLORS.  I can't think in "Some Like it Hot" without traveling through cinema. As I went for Marilyn here and here, this time my choice was Cyd  Charisse, who could heat up any musical, even in censored 1950s.

Red Carnival

Carnaval Vermelho

Hello, folks! The Three Muses asked for RED and I decided to stick to Carnival.

The photos were taken in the parade of samba schools in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday and Monday. I cut them out and put together, altering slightely the colors and contrast. Then I applied a filter to warm things up a bit.

Except by the lady's photo, the others by Rodrigo Gorosito.
