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.

Hopes for a new and improved Three Muses Challenge!


“Bev, Ann and I have decided that, after more than four years, the Three Muses Challenge needs a boost to make it more interesting, more fun and, most of important of all, more challenging.      Lower participation numbers and comments from members are telling us that we need to add some pizzazz  and we are working hard to find new ideas and new themes for our wonderful family of artists.  

The most amazing thing about your artwork is the variety.  Each person has his or her own way of approaching a theme and every picture we see is unique.  For those who may feel nervous about abstract themes, or attempting new styles of art, I would like to assure you that there are no rights or wrongs.    The joy is in taking part and learning some new tricks along the way.

We opened The Three Muses to make a friendly place for artists of all styles whether mixed media, stamping, card making or digital.  This appreciation of “differences” has improved our own work tremendously.  We learn from each other. By introducing fresh and much more varied challenges we will continue to grow.

I hope that you will all enjoy the “new” Three Muses where the only changes will be to make it more interesting and more enjoyable for you, our great band of members”.

Sneak Peek Difficulties

The Blog is not accepting our Sneak Peek posts no matter which browser we use.  Watch this space for more information on next week's Sneak Peek.  We will keep trying to bring it back into its sidebar home.

In the meantime, our theme for next week is Rain/Umbrella to mark the change of seasons in the northern hemisphere and to celebrate record rainfall for the month of September in my part of the world.

Have fun!!
