Victorian Inspired Silhouettes

I thought I would join the challenge at Inspiration Avenue - a Kodak Moment.

[My challenge to you is to create an artistic piece that captures your idea of a "Kodak Moment."]

What came to mind was early Victorian photography and the silhouettes they used to do. I've altered photos taken from the side and put them in frames from the Graphics Fairy. The butterflies background was also from there too.

Tast 7, Outside the Frame, Alphabet

Take a Stitch Tuesday - this week's stitch is detached chain or lazy daisy stitch and this is my rather untidy sample. I've used patches of vintage fabrics, some transfer printed lace, a little painted fabric and a beaded fringe with large sequins on the end.

The Three Muses challenge is 'Outside the frame - Birds' and I was thinking outside the cage for some reason and started something with that in mind, eventually it dawned on me - frame not cage. I have used one of my collaged paintings and added the frame digitally [frame from Graphics Fairy, birds and rabbit are found images from magazines]

There was an 'alphabet' challenge on Inspiration Avenue a few weeks ago and I meant to post these but I never got around to it. The top one is all drawn with promarker pens and the bottom one is a collage.
