IA Weekly Challenge

Let Them Drink Tea
I have to admit I was stumped by my own challenge.
Even though I'm a coffee drinker,
when I found an image of a posh lady
pouring tea I knew I had to enter a digital piece.

I gave her some Marie hair
and fancied her up with color.  
I think she'd better sit down
before she has an accident with that tray. . .

To play, visit  Inspiration Avenue before Sunday 
August 22 at 12 noon (edt).  Just leave a comment
with a link to your Coffee or Tea creation.

Just like to see all of the submissions? 
Visit on Sunday afternoon to see all of
the entries posted together.
Plus, you can visit each blog to read about
each artist's creative process. 

Now, it's time to go get a little caffeine. . .

  6. Well, she really looks most irresponsible there. Holding a loaded tea tray with one hand - what on earth is she thinking of?
    She is great Maggie. Perhaps it's the big hair that is sending her off balance with that tray.Great fun piece.

  10. Thank you all! I think she is a bit of a flibberty-gibbet ~ I just realized she's not even looking at the tea she is pouring!

    Funny, that word just popped into my head. I'm sure the last time I heard it was from my mom umpteen years ago. So, not sure I even knew what it meant, I had to look it up.

    The origin of the term is rather gruesome, but one of the meanings is: 'A flighty person; someone regarded as silly, irresponsible, or scatterbrained, especially someone who chatters or gossips'. Ya, I think it fits...

    I love the word candyfloss, and I guess you're right Lisa, it is the British equivalent of cotton candy. Yum, either way I love it!
