This week's challenge at Three Muses is 'Fun & Games' and that's exactly what I had!
For a start I went completely mad and thought that I had read that the challenge was 'Keyholes' so I made this - a previously unknown Alice book by Lewis Carroll.

Then when I went to post it on Wednesday I realised my mistake so made this in a bit of a hurry
I found this lovely image by Norman Rockwell on the internet; I thought it was just perfect for the challenge and only needed a frame made for it which is what I did. That'll teach me to look before I leap!
Wow this is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
Oh Ali, I'm so sorry. You got caught in a trap of our making. We DID post "keyhole" as the sneak peak -- for about 15 minutes -- until we realized the previous challenge had been "keys" and decided to change it. We're sorry for the confusion---but we got two gorgeous entries for the price of one!! Croquet was a favorite game for my family. We tied pieces of white cloth on the arches and played until after dusk by the tall yard light. It was a happy time. Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteBoth are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing, Ali!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the theme. Just a delight!
Both entries are wonderful, Ali, my keyhole one, I've kept for a future challenge!
ReplyDeletewell lucky for us to get to see two entries for the price of one! love the alice in the keyhole and the rockwell print looks great inside a the frame.
ReplyDeleteThese are both wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWell your miscommunication is our pleasure, Ali! Both pieces are wonderful! Hugs, Te3ri xoxo
ReplyDeleteBoth are great!.... it's a BOGOF (buy one get one free!)
ReplyDeleteali, i also made a piece for the keyhole theme (also looked up the site at the wrong time)... but both of your contributions are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteAli, it was me who had the 'senior' moment and decided on keyhole, only to immediately realize we'd had key the week before. Sheeesh.
ReplyDeleteHowever, every cloud has a silver lining as here you are giving us two absolutely wonderful pieces. Applause from my corner my friend.
Love both Ali, but where do you find the time to enter these, please tell your secret
ReplyDeleteGreat Ali!
ReplyDeleteBoth pieces are fabulous Ali,

Hi Ali! I see that Bev and Ann have cleared up the confusion. You weren't seeing things but, my oh my, you were quick because I think the first sneak peek was up for only a few minutes before we realised that the keyhole theme had been included in the previous challenge. Who cares, especially if we are getting two great pictures for the price of one. I love your "Alice through the Keyhole" and I love your gorgeous "Anyone for Croquet" picture. Great work.
ReplyDeleteWow!! I missed that completely Ali!! What a very versatile gal you are! Great stuff, as usual! =)
ReplyDeleteWould like to read the new Lewis Carol. :) Ali leaped through the keyhole. They're both fun.
