Bella Notte

This is my entry for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge this week where the theme is Venetian masks.  Imagery credits go to google images, Beth Rimmer and Evelyn at Deviantscrap.

Graphite

Carbon shadows linger
in cracks of limestone
filament.

Remnants etched
from lives passed;
lived well but short.

Fleeting yet forever told
in graphite stories.

Look well, look hard;
Secrets are unveiled
in mundane guise, forever lost
by momentary distraction.

All is not as it seems.....




Digital collage and poem for a gray Thursday evening.  Imagery credits go to Holliewood and Finecrafted designs at Deviant scrap. Also from Lorie Davison at Scrapbookgraphics.

Persephone

This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week where the theme is " Spring".    This digital collage is made with imagery from e-vint.com, Beth Rimmer  and Evelyn at Deviantscrap; all blends and filters in PSE.  I chose Persephone as the goddess of Spring as she returns to the surface of the earth from the underworld to renew and bring forth all flowers and new growth. There are signs of her presence everywhere and it is important to stop and look for her cues!

Priceless

This is my entry for the TAW challenge "It's all about the hat".  This wonderful image is from e-vint.com blended with words from devianscrap and Lorie Davison at scrapbookgraphics. I wanted to create a sort of digital "painting"  effect with a canvas background and grungy pastel elements in PSE.

Jardin

Ah Spring... I just returned from a short trip to Dallas, Texas where huge thunder and lightening storms heralded in the first day of Spring along with 3-4 hour flight delays in the airport! Glad to be back home where the skies are blue and Spring is indeed showing signs of awakening. A bit of showers here and there though and this digital collage reminds us to  keep the umbrellas close at hand.  Imagery from Dover books Hollie and Evelyn at Deviant Scrap, Rosie Posie and Rebecca McMeen at Scrapbookgraphics.  Graphics 45 artist papers all blended in PSE.

Book of Days

Daffodils come before the swallow dares,
and take the winds of March with beauty.
                                William Shakespeare


I love calendar art and decided that I would try to (each month) make a digital piece including some kind of calendar or datebook in the mix.  It is not for use as a calendar just a reference to the month/days and  or symbols of the season.  Then I'd like to print them onto fabric and assemble a little book- for my own challenge.  This first one is composed of imagery from Paper Whimsy, Lorie Davison  and Rosie Posey at Scrapbookgraphics and Holliewood at Deviantscrap.

Red Flower

This is my entry for the Three Muses challenge this week "One Thing of Beauty". A single flower expresses so much in itself you need not have an entire bouquet.
