Twisted Gypsies

@xrissa You are very welcome! The Judge chose your amazing Set and commented, though I always re-write and paraphrase what they say because it's easier and make's more sense. SO glad you had fun! Beautiful work!!!

@bev I'm so glad you're enjoying Enchanting Art! It gets a little more involved, so hold on to your hat. I can't wait to see what you create as we move on.... And I do apologize for the very late reply. Just thawing out! Ha ha!

You are the Master moodboard builder!

@sjlew HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! This was not about you, but about the judge wanting to give each of your Sets a fair 'examination'. I think this is hilarious and I love your enthusiasm!

@sjlew He's just there to give a gentle nudge... He's not a bad little guy.

@sjlew I see you are already off and running!!! LOL! You crack me up, Louise!!! Such fun!

These contests are so fun, and you learn skills too, come on ladies give it a try if you haven't all ready. Funky, love ya!

@bev Hope you like!

@queenrachie71 You are more than welcome! (and very talented!)

@ollie Don't brag! Ha ha ha ha ha! No, seriously.... That's hellishly hot!!!

Thank you sweetie, love the challenge and they are fun contest, lot of amazing gals here, love my twisted sisters, and you of course!

You guys are knocking it out of the park!!! I know at first, this "style" is confusing, yet it really helps those to see how small changes to am image can give a big impact.

Just keep using the images from the provided collection here: https://urstyle.fashion/collections/225567

and jazz your chosen image up a bit to give it more of a wow factor, without concealing the subject/s of the image or removing the background.

LOVE WHAT I AM SEEING!!! Don't you?

@shelley-harcar Thank YOU!!!

Thank you mystery judge for the win and wonderful comment! Funky a fantastic contest! Congratulations ladies, creepy cool!

@sheelanagig1307 THRILLED you're having fun!!! YAY!!!

Hey there!
I believe you misunderstood my ethusiasm over your Set. Upon seeing it, and its title, I immediately thought of the Diablo Video Game Series and I asked you about it. You replied: You are correct. The name came to me from the Diablo PC game series but the idea behind the picture came from watching the 1945 movie "The Picture of Dorian Gray". While you don't see King Leoric in his human form, the picture shows what he was becoming in his corruption through Diablo.

I've been playing Diablo since it first came out and in all these years, I never made the connection to "Dorian Gray" that you did; and I found your perspective to be brilliant! Your Set appealed to me before you explained the mental "blending" of the video game with your love for the classic movie. It was the Diablo aspect that excited me, and the association you made that impressed me. (I would love to hold a Diablo-Doll Contest, where members create a classic character and show off its special skills, yet I feel that would require too much "studying" for those unfamiliar with the game.)

God bless your father for encouraging you to develop a healthy interest in the macabre! Like you, I love Classic movies and, also like you, I'm thrilled we can stream what we want whenever we want. It's a whole new world from when we were kids! "The Picture of Dorian Gray" recently played on a local channel for Halloween -- several times, in fact. I watched it twice and later saw @Joanne's Set, which compelled to create this contest. Check it out!

This takes nothing away from your "King Leoric, The Skeleton King" Set. I love it, and have collected it!

I also just collected "Atlantean Guardian" for one of my "Sensational Sets" Collections, all of which I'm in the process of updating. So keep 'em coming! I'd love to see what you might create for this contest!

Best!
FJG

@mahvelus-24-7 Yes, you're right. We all need more practice with patience and with patients!!!

Thank you so much @FunkyJunkyGypsy and to the mystery guest judge for the 7th place win! It was wonderful to read your amazing commentary on my Angel Out of Darkness and all the other winning sets. Thank you so much for your kind words and also for the awesome award set! Congratulations to all the winners and all the participants on such marvelous entries!

I go with fewer amount of winners depending on the amount of entries. 30% is good.

@mahvelus-24-7 Love that song!!! HAPPY WINTER!!!

There you are, hope you are feeling better. Spring is sure a pretty time of year, but being allergic is no fun, puts a damper on it!

Of course. Feel free to print it and hang it in your home. I actually got the original print off of Pinterest and changed the background. Thank you for your comment!!

@funkyjunkygypsy Thanks! Much Luv to you!! ️️️

@FunkyJunkyGypsy I was very touched by the delicacy and richness of details that were used to observe our feelings closely, it was very generous and kind.
Thank you very much for the recognition of this set, I really did it from the heart.
Congratulations to all of you.
As for your terrible loss, I am truly sorry.
My condolences... life is sometimes really scary.
I hope you are well, as much as it is possible to be well.
sending love

Gypsy ditch any sets not following the rules!! I never read them properly - sorry!

@natural-bliss Same here my friend!!! We can support one another! Looking forward to checking out your submission/s!!!

@artgivesmelife I was delighted to see such icy beauty and so many wonderful interpretations of a Gypsy Ice Queen. I agree with everything the MGJ said and felt regarding your winning Set and I'm still loving the look and feel of it! Thank you, Sweet Lady, for taking part in this contest and sharing your always-original art with us all!

@jc13137 You are such a sweetie! Glad you had FUN!

@janesstylediary So glad you had fun!!! YAY!!!

@laughingdog MMMMM-WAHHHHH!!!

@FunkyJunkyGypsy

How extremely clever and so original @Ollie !!! I love a good murder mystery and can't wait to see how it all plays out!!

Unfortunately I can't partake due to my drag of a job! With year end looming over the horizon, it has been consuming what little energy I can muster!!

The best of luck to all you brave enough to risk it all and I will follow carefully and with great anticipation on whodunit!! xoxo

@paulidee Sounds good to me!!️️️

Thank you so much for your kind words! They give me hope And thank you again for the win xx

@funkyjunkygypsy I know you were teasing ! I look forward to meeting him !

It's all of it! Everything converges at once!

@nolagiggles SO glad you enjoyed yourself! A new contest to be posted soon! Congrats again!

Being twisted keeps one's sanity, everyone should try it!

great contest can't wait to create thinking cap!!!!

Thank you sweetie!

I agree whole heartedly Funky, xo!!

These men were men contests so fun, could swoon over these fellows ladies, fantastic. Thank you mystery judge for juding!

@bev Thank you, Bev! You are darling!

yay...on it!

@rboowybe I know, right??? Good Lord, you can see I have a "type" but I had to get away from it a bit, otherwise, it would be mostly Clint Eastwood, Cary Grant, Paul Newman, and a few others...

Hi Thelma, miss you, don't over do, hugs!

@laughingdog The Merry MENu! Good one!!! Soon, my friend... Just getting the guys together for ya!

@FunkyJunkyGypsy Suggestion for contest, let the members put forward their idea of "When Men Were Men" as everyone seems to have their own thoughts in the forum, minimum requirement "one male"

@cmb51 said in 🪑 SIT ON IT! 🪑WINNERS at last!!!:

I'm very lucky to be part of this group!!!

WE are lucky to have you here sharing your visions and talent!!!

When men were men!

@joeanne I totally get it. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't. Hopefully, they'll get things straightened out. They should have (Maybe they did?) suggest we back up our Drafts, but I wonder if that would have worked with the whole re-set/revision of the site.

@funkyjunkygypsy Let's hope all is not lost to all these glltches. Buy hey, the website is still running!

If it's not too late to vote, I also vote on sit on it!

Congrats to all the winners!

@ollie Amen to that! Humor is my sanity tonic! And I'm serious about your artistry! The MGJ got me thinking and s/he's right! Book Cover Designer? Children's Art Prints? ... You have a sweet style that really comes through in Sets like these! xox

@artsdesireable I'm so glad you're pleased! It seems members enjoy feedback from our judges so I am now asking that all of our guests (judges) write about what they liked about a Set and why they selected it. It's really fascinating to see what each judge is drawn to and/or what they "get" from a Set; their reactions, interpretations, pointing out things I missed/didn't notice when making sure Sets qualify, etc., so I'm liking it too! And I love that your Set got picked! That's too cool! YAY!

@kateolive I am so in tune with you about learning from the Sets of others which is one reason I collect Sets by category. In the old Polyvore days, we could run our cursor over the Set and see what was placed where, thereby learning new ways to use certain types of graphics, ways to position or layer them, etc. UrStyle makes it a bit more difficult, but not much. The overall effect is always something to behold, even if it's a style I might not use in my own creations. Your Sets usually have a statement behind them which adds even more interest to them. On their own, they make a statement, yet I enjoy reading your descriptions -- which is why I'm glad you use your own voice and express your own unique perspectives, and your wisdom! Glad you are enjoying the commentary! Now it's going to be a 'must' for our judges!

@mahvelus-24-7 You are a darling for doing this! I feel like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, LOL! Off to check it out full size! Thank you!!!

@fm So sweet of you! Thank you! I am doing nothing but resting. Seventy-thousand channels and nothing on TV worth watching, ha ha ha! It's great to pop on here, even lacking energy, and admire the Sets others have created and to find your thoughtful message. Thank you again, so very much!

@artsdesireable You are so so welcome! The judge had a blast with this! I'm so glad you enjoyed too! 🤎

@sjlew Your words are so beautifully written and they commune the TRUE meaning of Christmas and the entire holiday season; love, family, friendship, giving, beauty, joy...

You are treasured and loved, Louise! You have been part of my online family for a long time and your friendship is a blessing to me. You give so much... You love so deeply. You are not only twisted (in a good way!), and a gypsy, but a Goddess.

Thank you for this very beautiful Set, and thank you so deeply for the sentiment. We DO have fun here. That's what it's all about. And without you, it would not be the same AT ALL!!! You give joy year round and I am so thankful for it.

Happy Holidays to you, my sweet friend!

Oh, this will be new and fun!

@janesstylediary OMG! Ya got me again! YOU are a trip, Girlie!!! I love your humor! xox

@sjlew I know YOU will, Louise!!! You're the best! Much love!

@sheelanagig1319 Thank you
