I'm sure you all have noticed the absence of Marie (Ozstuff) in the last couple of weeks. Marie is recuperating from major surgery. In the interim, Ann and Bev will keep our Three Muses, Take a Word and Digitalmania challenges up and running. We know you join us in sending Marie our thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery.


UPDATE 8/30: Marie's recovery is progressing well. She is expected to be moved to rehab very soon. Your notes of encouragement are being relayed to her.


UPDATE 9/3: Marie continues to make a slow recovery. Your notes of encouragement have been copied into a document and are being relayed to her. We all thank you for your concern.

Three Muses - Give Us a Hand


We've always heard "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". That was the beginning of this piece. You HAVE given us a hand in the form of your kind responses to our thank you message. At the end of this challenge, when all the artists have checked in, we'll put our hands together and join in a standing ovation for all of us who meet here every week!! Have fun.

THE MUSES SPEAK

Back in June, three muses timidly decided to start an art challenge blog. We put our heads together (well...as much as we could from Australia to the UK to the US); and, after discussion, we decided we wanted it to be a simple blog spot without fancy bells and whistles, just a place where artists in all media could share their work and offer constructive support for one another. The Three Muses blog has succeeded beyond our hopes. We feel our blog family is the cream of the crop, bringing outstanding art to our challenges weekly. Beyond that, our artists are generous in their support of one another. Taking the time to comment on 40 or 50 entries is no small task, but reading supportive comments on your own effort makes it all worthwhile. So, this is Ann, Bev and Marie taking the time to say THANK YOU!

Challenge 10 - Hats

Hi it's me Ann, it's Wednesday again, and time for a new challenge, and my theme for this week is Hats.

I took the quote of If You Want To Get Ahead Get A Hat literally and here is my sample for you for this week.

I hope it inspires you to create.

Just a quick reminder to say anything goes at the Three Muses, whether you choose paper, fabric, mixed media or digital and the size is totally up to you. The most important thing is that you have fun.

Thank you for joining in each week.

CHALLENGE 9 - ART IN THE ROUND

Bev here! It's Wednesday morning in Oz (and I know Marie is patiently waiting!). Here's my art in the round. There are several layers to this one, first a background, then an overlay of a bit of music, then an overlay of some script, and last of all a lovely lady. The words are from one of my favorite songs, "Circle of Life" from "The Lion King". I hope you all enjoy this challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what the considerable talents of our "blogsters" bring to it.
