First off, a huge thank you to everyone who left me a comment on my article publication. And again, my apologies to Mrs. Traub.
Earlier this week, I stumbled across a 'new to me' challenge - Collage Obsession, hosted by Kris, better known as Iktupilli, and Elegia. They host a weekly challenge on Mondays and this week the instructions were to take this William Bouguereau’s masterpiece and use part of it to create a new collage - the theme being angels. Personally, I enjoy the various challenges in Blogville as they give my muse a bit of a 'spark' ! Thanks Kris and Elegia!

Not that I really needed a 'spark' this week as three of the designers I create art for released new kits. The first of which was Fair Maidens - from SherrieJD who had recently invited me to join her team and, well, with these kinds of images, how could I say no.
So, I started off with my muse imagining how uncomfortable these dresses would have been to actually wear...or even move in - good thing there were no automobiles - b/c the likelihood of a shoulder check would be slim to none....

Muriel - 4 x 6 inch Origina Mail Art - digital collage
Together - Birds of a Feather
Above, I was noticing how much the yoke of the dress looked like eggs - no pun intended...and this then lead my muse to dress up the bird, and create a neckline of eggs and feathers....
Deviating away from the creative team work for a bit, the following two were inspired by an image I had purchased of the church you see in the second piece - I loved the contrast between the white and the cobalt blue stain glassed windows. I apologize for the poor resolution on these images here - it's just a precaution to prevent the potential for back alley surfers to poach them....
These are brilliant in full resolution and I have them matted (in real life) and ready to be framed.

Beautiful, amazing, funny stuff. I've seen somebody's work were she has her name embedded in the bottom of the picture. I'm not sure how she does it but it prevents people from using the picture as their own. :)Bea
Love your new banner. My favorite this time is Muriel.
If you go to Picnik.com you can use their free editing service which allows you to print your name on each of your pieces of art, in any font you'd like. Bea was correct.
Lovely pieces all- a refreshing take on such wonderful old works. Love these!
So amazing! Your work is always so breathtaking!
Oh, your all pieces are fantastic! The angel you did for Collage Obsession challenge is amazing, it really impressed me!
Hugs

Trudi, you certainly have been busy this week!!! OMG! Each piece is stunning, and together they make a fascinating collection of strong, colorful and creative women (with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure!). Bravo!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo
