Vanessa Redgrave's time



Hello, blogfriends. This week the theme is TIME at Take a Word. Vanessa Redgrave is a brilliant gifted artist who has made ​​good use of her time leading a life that is worth living.


There's a texture on top by miss snoopy25 (dA) that is a quote: What's gone will never come back. But it exists when you think of it. It's a excert of John Frusciante song "One More of Me". Background by Beth Rimmer; papers and clock by Zeldona at mellowmint (dA); flower on left is the Natasha Richardson Rose; Cannes golden palm on right needs no explanation.

Living a steampunk life

Steampunk fashionistas, Lauryn and Guillaume (Brit Lauryn has always had  a weakness for French men), has just arrived from a travel to Moscow and are already planning a trip to Prague, always in their zeppelin.

Hi there! This is my not so steampunk contribution for this week challenge in The Three Muses. This theme is always a hard one for me, but at least I tried...

Below you can have a closer look at our fashionistas:

Lauryn is a collage of a  beautiful young face with Victorian styling, and two different pieces of Alexander McQueen Fall 2011; Guilhaume is a shot of Jean-Paul Gaultier Fall 2011 catwalk; background by Finecrafted designs; zeppelin googled.

Elegant umbrellas

Hi! This week The Three Muses want UMBRELLAS. In my opinion, even closed umbrellas are gorgeous if they are taken by lovely fashion icon Audrey Hepburn.

You can find Audrey's photos in Dr. Macro. I did the background by mixing two stock photos by jesuisautre and stock by brink (deviantArt).

The fanciest couple

The Westons visiting the Paris Salon


Emma and George Weston were very fond of their elegance and when they went out they always took a time choosing the perfect outfit for the event. Back in those days, they were considered quite eccentric, especially when it took to hats, but, as wealthy as they were, nobody cared.


I had fun doing this digital collage to this week Take a Word theme: HATS.


Background is a photo of the Salon de Paris in 1869. His hat, their brooches and the texture by Finecrafted Designs. Lady on left is a Dover sample. Lady on right was provided by Art Creation Friday in one of their challenges. Her fancy hat came from a plate of a 1900 magazine . I can't remember where the gourgeous couple came from.

Green: Mata Atlântica

Hi, folks. As the theme this week on Take a Word is GREEN, I decided to introduce you to a tiny bit of the Mata Atlântica, or at least, some of its inhabitants. A green paradise that we almost completely destroyed. Nowadays, the little that is left  is protected.


I used five photos to compose this collage, two of them by Luis Florit; I couldn't identify the authors of the other photos.

Sweet odd couple

- I love you.
- Harold... that's wonderful. Go and love some more.


Hi, blogfriends! I finally finished my essay (not very good, must admit).

Harold and Maude are my sweet odd couple. I love that old crazy lady and morbid needy Harold. So I imagined them enjoying a heavenly garden in a borrowed bike. :)

This is my contribution to this week theme in Three Muses: COUPLES.
