This week’s Three Muses challenge was "Birdy Birdy."

I started with the bird, then added everything else around him. I'm not even sure what this piece is trying to be, other than vintage. I'm currently struggling with artist's block again.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

This week’s Three Muses challenge was "Crockery."

I know the theme was supposed to feature crockery, but when I found this catalog header, I went where my muse took me. First I added the blue star dress onto the woman. I cut the background stars from a different postcard that I had made, and colored them blue. I used several layers of images to create the background.

I created this using GIMP 2.8.16.

The quote "The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand." is by Frederick L. Knowles.
