Melancholy

This is my entry for The Three Muses challenge "Window".  As late Summer rolls into Fall a sense of melancholy or  longing often takes place. Observing the change of light and seasonal change is a time of daydreams and  rememberance of days past.  I am already sensing a bit of early Autumn here in California (kind of still waiting for summer in a way) - it has been unseasonally cool.  Imagery used in this digital collage is from Dover books, Finecrafted Designs and Holliewood at Deviant Art. Artistic leaf brush from Photoshop.

Oceania

This is my entry for the Three Muses Challenge this week "Maps".  Thoughts of world travel and the mystery of the unkown has I believe always been a part of Women's dreams and yearnings but was not always available if practical in the past. Ties to family and "duty" came first in many women's lives and their  imaginings of experiencing the world were put on hold due to fear and suppression from men.  This digital collage speaks to those moments of daydreams and wanderings.  Imagery from Dover books, Rosey Posey and Rebecca McMeen at scrapbookgraphics all blended and layered in Photoshop Elements.

Dark Mother

This is my entry for the Take A Word challenge this week "Faces". Dark and  mysterious , this lovely face from E-vint.com evokes someone from a  vintage Gothic novel . Other imagery from Lorie Davison at scrapbookgraphics all blended and layered in Photoshop.
