Old Mona Lisa with a 'steampunk' helmet & jewelry with a glimpse of a new dress is my interpretation for this week's challenge!

***HAPPY NEW YEAR!***
Yes, Ann is leaving for New Zealand in three week's time - and spending two months there I think. She hasn't surfaced with this week's challenge yet but I am sure she will turn up soon.
ReplyDeleteYour scrumptious mix of old and new is fantastic - funny but very cleverly done with fabulous artwork.
I don't know if it is happening in NZ but here in Oz the swimsuits are going back in time with neck to knee and long sleeved creations in lightweight sunproof fabric that dries in minutes. Our UV index here this week hit 14 extreme so we are constantly being warned to cover up.
your mona is so fun!! i want her ring;))
ReplyDeleteOh wow this rock.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous.
Ohmygosh, this is clever! What perfect response to the old/new theme, and hows beautifully done. Standing ovation from my corner!
ReplyDeleteShe's not a moanin' now! Great interpretation of the theme. I'm sure she approves. She must have been so bored in that old frock for so many years, yearning for something a bit more fashionable!
ReplyDeleteWooohooo Judy, how fantastic is this, it's inspired and mind blowingly original and I absolutely love it. Mona is one wickedly fun loving woman and I am always amazed at what she gets up to when the lights go out at the Louvre.
ReplyDeleteMy sister lives in Wellington so I will be passing through there sometime in mid February. May be we could meet for a coffee if you fancy it!
Wow, fantastic love your Mona in her new outfit, very steampunkish and grungy!. Brilliant artwork.
