Three Muses Challenge - Architecture

I have always been fascinated by the architecture of lost civilizations, such as the cliff dwellers pictured above, in the canyons of SW Colorado. The poem is by one of my favorite contemporary poets, Don Blanding (enlarge to read more easily). Many of these dwellings still stand today and it is possible to walk in the footsteps of those people of 800 years or so ago. How they crafted these stone cities with nothing but their bare hands and primitive tools is remarkable. (A bit more about them on my blog). My thanks to Gayle Page-Robak, who suggested architecture for this week's topic. Thanks, Gayle, for my journey into the past!

The Three Muses Challenge - Nature

This week's theme is NATURE in all its wonders and we invite you to use something from nature in your pictures. I have chosen fish (in a whimsical setting). I admit to getting carried away and altering them outrageously, placing them outside their comfort zone (water!!) which could be injurious to their health.

There are so many ways to approach the theme. We can't wait to see what our wonderful artists come up with.

Bev's Baaaaack!

I have seen the devil and it's is called Malware! After a month of ups and down in trying to rid my computer of this accursed stuff, my computer guru finally had to reformat my hard drive. Being the queen of procrastination, I had not backed up since September, so I lost a lot of "stuff". Not to mention all my bookmarks! Curses, confound and drat! Thanks for all your kind wishes. I'm trying to get reorganized. I tried to catch up with my comments, but I'm having a bit of trouble there, so if I missed you I'm sorry. All the entries this week were stellar!

Three Muses - Postage Stamps

Stamps are so much fun to play with. The lady is really "into" her work! I hope you all enjoy creating your version of art with stamps. Can't wait to see! (I apologize for late post. We're in the midst of a ^%$#%$# snowstorm, and I was distracted).

The Three Muses Challenge - Birds of a feather

It's already Wednesday morning here in Western Australia so we are getting an early start. The theme this week is BIRDS OF A FEATHER. My cockatoos have been given a makeover and sent off to a honeymoon in Paris. I can't wait to see what you have done with YOUR birds.
