Nancy has settled Gothic Arches in its new home here … so beautifully … the new blog looks fabulous … how does she do it…must have taken hours and hours and hours to transfer everything from the ning forum
the music playlist is especially sweet as well
this week’s theme is all about the 19th century artist Lord Frederick Leighton
his Flaming June has always been a favorite of mine

Stunning!!! The castle is a wonderful element to Lord Leighton’s work . It certainly gives your design a 3-d effect. Great Job!!!

Hey girl…I just pulled out my inchie ornament and started noodling on what evil to visit upon it this year…or wonders to behold, depending on my mood and the fuel level on my torch. No, no, I won’t use the flame on paper. Heh…

Patty, What a stunning arch! Flaming June has always been one of my favorites also. She is so beautiful, sleeping below the castle. The colors you’ve used perfectly compliment each other. Very, very pretty!
