The Three Muses Challenge this week is “Old Fashioned”. My entry is an altered cabinet card titled “Miss Prim”. She of course has all kinds of rules that a woman must follow.
- Do not scrape your plate
- Set the table as beautifully as possible
- The husband should always find the wife fresh, beautiful, sweet as a flower
- Never scratch your head, pick your teeth, or clean your nails in public
- Do not be in haste; compose yourself
- Loud thumping with canes and umbrellas, in demonstration of applause is decidedly rude.
The card is coated with wax. I pressed a stamp in the corners while the wax was hot and added alcohol ink to give it more dimension. Below is the card before altering.

Ah, she had such dignity.....until your wicked sense of humor took over. Great fun! Enjoyed reading her "instructions"! Nicely done.
What a wonderfully witty piece.
I loved reading the 'do's and don'ts!'

Love it! What a fabulous presentation for this theme. Loved reading all the "proper" rules of etiquette by Miss Prim!
Hahahaha Love it! Good maners are very important. Though a good sense of humor even more! Perfect piece.
Beautiful altered card, love the glasses and the chain.
Ohhhhhhhhh!! I have forgotten how good manners are important!! A very "digne" character for your illustration but a so beautiful and delicate work!
Love it
