The Three Muses "Wild Things"


"Wild Things" is the theme at the three Ms. This week I decided to give digital a miss, I still feel largely out of my depth with it,particularly in comparison with some of the amazing digital artists that post for this challnege. So it was back to the old craft table. I made a collaged atc. I love the image of this woman, I feel she shows such abandonement, that's why I felt she fitted the theme. I have called in "Wild Woman"

  5. She certainly does seem to exude an air of abandonment Astrid and I bet she was a bit of a wild thing in her day. I often feel envious of artists such as yourself who are able to create in the way you do. Bravo.
