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 Challenge 44 - You Are What You Eat



Hi it's me Ann and this week I have chosen the theme of YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

We wonder what this will mean to you, will it be Carmen Miranda hats, vegetable people, something funky, vintage, surreal or just darn quirky.

We can't wait to see what you will create, but just in case you need a little help to get you started, here is a sample I created for your inspiration.

Remember that here at the Muses we welcome any medium and any style, all we ask is that you have fun and show us what you create. So enjoy.

Three Muses Challenge 43 - A Nice Cup Of Tea



Hi it's me, Ann, and this week I have chosen A NICE CUP OF TEA for the challenge theme.

What does A NICE CUP OF TEA mean to you, what will fire your imagination, will it conjure up images of ladies gossiping over a cuppa, or a more sedate tea for two, or will it be a tea party (complete with Alice), or something vintage, comical, zetti or surreal, or will it be something else entirely?

We can't wait to see what you will create, but just in case you need a little help to get you started, here is a sample I created for your inspiration.

Remember that here at the Muses we welcome any medium and any style, all we ask is that you have fun and show us what you create. So enjoy.

MUSE FLASH

I'm back from my wonderful trip to New Zealand where Mr Taluula and I visited both Islands and had a blast of a time. We travelled for 7 weeks in the tiniest of campervans, but oh it was so worth it and something we will always remember, seeing such sights and making so many friends. In Wellington I was able to catch up with JudyNZ (Mangaroa Made) and we had a coffee and a chat and it was so nice to meet someone I had only previously known through cyber space.

I confess that the first thing I did when I got home was to give my broadband hub the biggest kiss I could muster : oh wonderful, wonderful internet connection I had previously taken so much for granted. Yes, I am that sad person. Rural NZ like rural parts of the UK is not blessed with anything more perfect than windup internet.

Well enough of all that, I just wanted to say a special and very big THANK YOU to BEV and MARIE for taking care of the Three Muses, with one Muse down, for the past seven or eight weeks and for the sterling job they have done. Thank you my friends and I promise to host the next three weeks' challenges as penance for having such a wicked time in NZ.

The Three Muses Challenge - "Oh, Man!"

Wednesday is already seven hours old here in my part of the world (south-west Australia). The theme this week is "OH, MAN!" The only requirement is to include a man or men in your pictures. I got carried away with collage, beginning with separate mini collages of each of the men. I spent an enjoyable time building them up with bits and pieces and some drawing.
Have fun with this one - or treat the theme seriously. Anything goes!
