Collage and photographs
Hello and thank you for your visit to Jumbled Crafts today. Hope you will enjoy what you find and particularly the couple photographs I am sharing with you today
First things first--
At Three Muses the theme is Take Fright
Most of my digital collages turn out scary anyway so it nice to be able to do one that was meant to be frightening. When I was younger I used to have awful nightmares quite often and the after effects lasted for hours and hours so I have tried to show this in my collage. I haven't had a nightmare for many a year so maybe I am following the quote which seems like good advice.
I would like to share a couple of things with you
This is our Christmas Cactus which we only just noticed had come into flower as it is kept in a dark corner in the summer because it doesn't like the sunlight. It is a cutting from a very old one that had got shabby looking but always had lots of flowers every year and this 'baby' looks as though it will be the same.
Now for the second picture
My daughter just sent me this photograph. She loves making special cakes for every occasion and she has made this cake to raffle for Children in Need. She looked at a picture of Pudsey and worked from that.
Hope the photographs cheered you up after my gloomy collage
Have agreat day
Love Chrissie x

Love that scary collage, really teeth chattering scary, lovely! The Christmas cactus is wonderful, what a lot of blossoms! And the cake your daughter made is magical, wow! She inherited her Mum's creativity and talent! Have a nice day, just got back from a misty walk here. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr, your nightmares are frightening indeed! Beautiful collage! :) The baby cactus is wonderful and the yumy yumy cake is really lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your collage Chrissie, it is super creepy and well laid out! You daughter obviously inherited your creativity and talent! You must be just so proud! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteThey have a big meeting.... great creepy collage. Love your cactus, Chrissie.
ReplyDeleteGreat nightmare wickedness!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas cactus evoked such memories for me. My mother had one that had been HER mother's for years, but I never saw it bloom. When Mom passed on, my brother's daughter (who has a green thumb) adopted it, and it has bloomed every year since, even tho it is probably 100 years old!
The cake is mind-boggling! What a talented cake-maker!!
Thanks for sharing with us!
love the creepy image. what a wonderful post, altogether.
ReplyDeleteYour collage gives me the shivers, Chrissie, just as well I'm looking at it in the morning!
ReplyDeleteYour collage looks like a block buster film poster, Chrissie! Your Christmas cactus is so beautiful in full bloom and wow, your daughter is so talented, love the cake she made! Hugs, Ira xox

Yup, it is scary, Chrissie!
ReplyDeleteI also had terrible dreams when I was younger and it was quite often about "eyes" staring at me, so I only peeped at your collage. :) You must have green thumbs Chrissie, that cactus is beautiful. You must be very proud of your talented daughter, the bear is wonderful.

Great nightmar-ish collage.
