Here is a look at the results from last week’s theme. I LOVED how all your unique and creative ideas! I’d love to do a topic like this again… what do you think?

I’m a day behind this week (again)… new topic coming soon. The flu seems to have reared its ugly head at our house. I hope you’re all staying healthy! Happy creating :)

Everyday Artist Studio is a fantastic site that offers lots and lots of inspiration, resources, videos, shopping and more. I especially love the toolbox section and all great videos. Thanks to Jenn Mason for featuring Inspire Me Thursday on this week’s Frugal Friday feature!

Inspired by… Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière

Melanie — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:01:15 +0000

This week, let’s try something a little different. Let’s all download Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière and use her somehow in a piece of art. You can cut, collage, paint, decoupage, whatever your heart desires as long as you use some part of this image in your art.

The portrait of Mademoiselle Caroline Rivière is a painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, now in the Louvre. [more information here]

I think it will be fun to see all the different ways we can interpret this task!
