SoArtful Challenge..Mae West..

 Younger people may not know Mae West. She was THE original blonde bombshell, always surrounded by hunky men and very well known for her sexy quips. She was still wowing them in her eighties!
SoArtful has given us this photo to use if we like for their weekly challenge. I extracted Mae from her photo and put a hunky man's chest into the background for her. Look at that pose and that gorgeous dress and the platinum blonde hair.   Rock on Mae!

Intelligent Animals..

I've made this collage for a challenge on Photobicho, a new group I've found on Flickr. All their challeges are animal related so I had a go. Then the collages are voted on and Blimey! I won the Funniest Animal.

Then apparently the winner chooses a subject for the next weeks challenge. I wasn't quite ready for this but with a little help I chose Intelligent Animals. So my dear little monkey is asking his mate over for a beer and a banana!

Freddie has been to hospital again this morning for a check-up and to have his feet re-dressed.

So far, so good!

Love and Higs

He's Home!

I had a phone call at 2pm. yesterday from Freddie.

'I'm coming home!'

Corey and I waited patiently(?), looking out the window continuously for a car, and he finally arrived just after 5pm. So thankful to be home. He is very weak and looks so frail but he's had the best night's sleep for 11 days and I think so have I!

Now he has to go back to hospital again on Friday. I do hope they don't keep him in this time!!

This morning I can leave him for a couple of hours while I go to Chapel.

I am taking the service today.

Here is another photo manipulation I did the other day.

You can see the original Old Master in the corner.

Skyela..

I have a dear online friend who is a fabulous artist.

Her name is Irina Sztukowski and she lives in California.

A little time ago she admired the photo of Skyela and asked if she could paint her.

I happily said Yes and this is the result she sent this morning.

Isn't it just fantastic? Her Daddy is so pleased.

Irina has captured her beautifully.

Look at those eyes!

If you'd like to see some more of Irina's

beautiful  work go   HERE

Thank you so much dear Irina. xxx

Three Muses Challenge..Maps..

The Three Muses Challenge this week is Map or Maps.

Once upon a time, in the land of Turkey, far away, a

beautiful princess was born.

They called her Asuman, which means Sky and Heaven.

She grew up to be kind and gentle, loving her garden

and her doves, and she was the fairest in the land!

Thank you so much for looking.xx

Story time..

I found this charming photograph of the little girl while browsing the internet.

It was badly damaged. I converted  it to black and white and fiddled with it as much as I could and then hand painted her, so she did come up a bit brighter. I felt she deserved to be seen again and made a lovely photo.

Well I saw Freddie last night and actually was there while they redressed his foot so I could ask questions.Apparently the infection had spread to the ball of his foot from the gangrenous toe. The infection has been controlled and he is now on oral anti-b's. There is yet another consultation today as to whether to leave the toe to fall off or remove it.

As it is I can't see him coming home yet awhile. He still hasn't been walking and I should imagine his legs are very weak. Apart from all that, he is well but totally fed up.

Dezinaworld Images.

These are two collages I have made for June over at

Dezinaworld

She is bringing out a  sheet of Flying machines.

Also the little books of quotations.

I am very patriotic and truly English

so I loved the top photo.

I was honoured to be her featured artist yesterday.

She'll make my head swell...LOL!
