SPA- Mona Lisa's New Career


Did you know that Mona always wanted to be a flamenco dancer? After sitting for her famous portrait she went on a tour of Europe and the States, dancing her little feet off.

Mona by Leonardo, backgrounds from 2 pieces by Rubyblossom, paper from Songbird Avenue and sheet music from Google Images. The dancer and the poster background are from the Graphics Fairy, embellishments and PS brushes from Cottage Arts and Songbird Avenue.

Alphabet Inspired-D is for Dance


Dancing can be such an exuberant act--giving your mind and body over to the magic of music and letting it take hold of you...Nowhere do we see this more than in the joyful dancing of children!

Background made with bits from Scrapbook Flair and the Feathered Nest; images from Graphics Fairy, Wikimedia Commons and Google images; overlay from Cottage Arts; and Photoshop brushes, blending modes and layer styles applied.

SPA- Hobbies & Pastimes-Fortune Telling


Not my hobby by any means...I like to watch the future unfold as it will. But it is a fascination for many people, to try and divine what is to come--or what may come.

Most of the images were either in my collection or googled; background textures are from Rubyblossom and Una Cierta Mirada at T4L, photoshop brushes by Stephanie Shimerda.

Thanks for visiting.

New Series--Alphabet Inspired



I'm attempting to do another series, inspired by the letters of the alphabet. Let's see how far I get! I never did finish the Seven Gifts series...still two more to go.
A and B are here.
Oh, I just saw the theme for this week's Three Muses challenge--Old Fashioned. In case I don't get a chance to complete another piece, I offer "B is for Beauty".

SPA-Celestial Navigation


My entry for this first of the New Year challenge. Steering by the stars--trusting the fixed points in my life and always setting my course by them. I hope it will be an interesting journey.

Texture pieces by Ka2rina and Karrie Amelia at Textures for Layers; the boat is a googled image of a toy yacht, I use this image a lot--it always signifies the soothing power and serenity of the sea to me. Photoshop brushes, layer styles and blending modes completed the piece.
