Okay, yes, I really went somewhere where I normally don't go. First of all, I didn't digitally alter the image, as it looks ready as it is. Moreover, I tend to create items with clear lines and a limited range of colors. However, yesterday I made something really colorful, really glittering -- absolute kitsch. A hint of Las Vegas mixed in -- think feathers and sequins. Moreover, there are wings. Are you ready for this? So here is TIME FLIES:

You see -- I told you it was colorful and glittering and with feathers! I altered an empty cocoa tin, cutting out a window. I used Gail's image both inside and outside the tin.

Moreover, I printed the photo of the lady once again, mounting the image on cardboard. She is now looking out of the window.

The word prompt is TIME, so I added the word itself as well as an image of the clock next to it:

Doesn't time just fly now that the countdown to the holidays has started? That's what I had in mind when I added FLIES to TIME, even giving it priority by putting the letters on top:

There's a certain ambiguity about FLIES, as the L is somewhat bigger than the F. I really like that.

Most likely my creation will stand out like a paradise bird among many elegant and classy creations -- a bit like the famous pink flamingo in a beautiful garden. Gail will post all entries on December 2nd, and the voting will start then. Be sure to visit Mind Wide Open in early December -- I am sure all the entries will be fantastic.
