This week’s Theme Thursday challenge was “Vintage.” Most of the images are artwork by Walter Crane (1845-1915). I obtained them from old books on the Internet Archive. I love his style and when I found the wedding image with the name William as a groom dressed in red, I decided to make a tribute to today's royal wedding.

This is also my entry for Digital Whisper theme #11 Memory and Take A Word challenge #26 "Memories." Catherine and William will always have memories of this special day.

"Halo" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

This week’s Sunday Postcard Art challenge was “Song Title." The title of my piece is from the song "Halo" by one of my favorite groups, Depeche Mode. The dark lyrics inspired my piece, but I took a few artistic liberties as well. The words are included below:

You wear guilt

Like shackles on your feet

Like a halo in reverse

I can feel

The discomfort in your seat

And in your head it's worse

There's a pain

A famine in your heart

An aching to be free

Can't you see

All love's luxuries

Are here for you and me

And when our worlds

They fall apart

When the walls come tumbling in

Though we may deserve it

It will be worth it

Bring your chains

Your lips of tragedy

And fall into my arms

And when our worlds they fall apart

When the walls come tumbling in

Though we may deserve it

It will be worth it
