There's a wonderful challenge site that is the culmination of hard work from 3 lovely ladies: Ann, Marie, and Bev. Each week they post a theme and after you create a piece you may link it reciprocally to the site and your site. This week's theme was The Land of Odd and turned out to be my inspiration for two (almost four) new digital collages from me and some new collage sheets. Several people had suggested to me that I give a Three Muses challenge a try and it had been a long while since I had. But, it might have just been the spark I needed to feel a little more inspired to work. So, thank you Three Muses and my friends that suggested trying the challenge! You can find Three Muses here. The first one is my submission to the challenge and the piece that sparked the rest seen below.

Here are a few new collage sheets. I have to admit I felt a bit rusty after a good 3 week break from creating collage sheets. But today I feel like the ice has been broken and I look forward to making more sheets this week.

Acquisitions
I've enjoyed generous friends, talented friends and a bit of fun lately. Just wanted to share some recent things that have found their way to me lately . . .
From my good friend Trudi of Two Dresses Studio
From an old friend, Leo of Etsy's LexArt Glass
From the talented and so sweet Fiona Randall of My Artful Muse blog
From all over the world, just a sampling of antique papers I have to go through, organize, scan and restore
From my brain to my body, a symbolic gift that I need to get out and use my body and my brain will work better
From my friend Brenda and myself, my growing collection of Sandy Mastroni dolls to keep me company as I work.
Long post, early in the week . . . hope you have happy creating days this week and everything goes just right!

I LOVE the new sheets Marsha - well I love what you did with them - do you have a little "Tumbler" that spins and dreams up those Freaks? They are amazing as well as your journal pages - so funky! And you have me hooked now on Sandra's dolls - I am there 2-3/week looking at new ones she's put up. My 'Plain Jane' just seems lonely.
AND circus tents !!! I've been looking for circus tents for EVER!
Who knew they'd be right in the neighbourhood!
Such funky freaks Marsha - You always seem to come up trumps.
Oh just for a 5min rummage through those bags - How wonderful.
Looks like your creative bucket is nicely filled up again! YAY! :) xo Pam
How fun ... your art is fab.
Great Land of Odd journal pages Marsha.
Good to see you at Three Muses, Marsha. Happy we jump-started your personal muse! Love your quirky, odd pages. Fun, fun, FUN.

Freak Pride - I love the concept! I intend to embrace it! You just inspire me so much. And your freak fairy is sooo apropo! I too, have found it difficult lately to do any art, so I finally decided to dust off my Julia Cameron book and get back to "morning pages" hoping something will shake loose. It looks from here like you are doing great, so I wonder if you have crazy high expectations of yourself. I hear SOME artists (tee hee)have trouble like that.
Wow! I just stumbled on this posting. Your photograph of the vase makes it look awesome! Thanks for everything, and I hope all is well with you and yours.
