The Three Muses Challenge - Steampunk

This is a true story. Well, it could be true. Perhaps. Maybe.

This week’s theme is STEAMPUNK. When the Industrial Revolution began in the late 1700’s, a noblewoman, The Grand Duchess of Schteamponk, became interested in the great changes taking place, so much so that she surrounded herself with the new machinery pieces and revelled in the progress. She became known as a champion of the revolution and the word “Steampunk” was adopted to ensure that she would not be forgotten.

The Duchess would be honoured to think that, in the year 2010, her name is still remembered and recorded in your art pieces.

Thankyou!!

CHALLENGE 56 - EYES

Our theme this week is EYES, but what will that inspire you to do?

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 made for your inspiration.

As always, we welcome all kinds of art, in any medium, and all we ask is that you have fun and show us what you create.

So enjoy.

Three Muses Challenge #55 - Buttons & Bows

I guess Marie had me still in musical mode for this week's challenge, but there's so much that can be done with buttons and/or bows I thought it would be fun to see what our stellar group of artists come up with on the subject. I'm all set for a visit to your blogs to see this week's offerings! I hope you have fun! (See my blog for credits).

The Three Muses Challenge - Take a song, any song.

This week’s challenge is to take a song, any song, to inspire you in your artwork.
I have chosen “Eleanor Rigby” which is a touching study of loneliness.

“Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice where a wedding has been.
Lives in a dream
Waits at the window, wearing the face she keeps in a jar by the door.
Who is it for?”

A slightly sombre subject but I am sure there will be an avalanche of beautiful, cheerful takes on this theme to make up for it!!

We can’t wait to see what our wonderful artists have in store for us.

Just before we get onto this week's theme may I, on behalf of Bev, Marie and myself, say the BIGGEST THANK YOU to you all, for the warm words and good wishes you've sent the Muses throughout this last week. It's heartening and humbling to know you are enjoying our challenges so much. Thank you.

Now on to our theme for this week, which is TIME in its many guises. So without further ado it's TIME for you to surprise us with your interpretation of the theme, but just in case you need a little help to get you started, here is a sample I created for your inspiration.

Don't forget, here at the Muses we welcome all mediums and styles of art, all we ask is that you have fun and show us what you create.
