I'm delighted to see some fascinating responses here. Shakespeare is a great spark to the imagination, I think. Hope folks find some time to add a few more this week, then the flying fickle finger of fate will be sent along on Friday. (Anybody still remember the old Laugh In TV shows?) Five's picture must have jarred that loose.

It's a delight to see your lovely Titania with Bottom, even though she's not eligible for the dubious prize, Marg. Awr's rose is in similar case, but we are glad to see it again!

"Victorian Shakespearean"... Maybe someone else can transfer the picture here. I forgot how & nothing I try is working. Thanks in advance. I was going to do this fellow made up and fake-bearded as King Lear but the daguerrotype of the actor himself seemed more Shakespearean than any specific role.

“Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds, and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears; and sometime voices,
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

I fell over a step at the bowling alley today, so we can only hope the brain is unaffected. Apparently, the titanium hip is indestructible, as well as exciting the TSA at the airports. So I'll pass the Mugdots baton for number 91, which seems to be XCI in Roman-think.

We appreciated some donations not eligible for the competition - oldies, like Arw65's Rose and Marg's Titania & Bottom. Wonderful to see them both again.
Cheldyra's Juliet I stole away, then realized she was NOT the object of Romeo's affection. His actor added to our historical backgrounds, but also was unattacted to any quote. Splendid art, nonetheless!

A special thanks to Arw 65 for the quotation site - highly appreciated.

The remaining entrants, by play:
Hamlet (my favorite quotation source) My ineligible three - Too solid flesh, Time out of joint, and Complete Steel.
five's "THE TIME IS OUT OF JOINT."

All's Well that Ends Well - jaybuddy's sunset illustrating the title.

As You Like It - Lizzi's "BLOW THOU WINTER WIND," too chillingly appropriate these days.

Much Ado about Nothing - Lizzi's "LET EVERY EYE."

Romeo and Juliet - Lizzi's "A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME,"
cloro's "LARK, THE HERALD OF THE MORN."

MacBeth - Lizzi's "TOMORROW AND TOMORROW,"
cloro's "STARS HIDE YOUR FIRE."

The Tempest - Marg's Ariel "IMPRISONED BY A BLUE-EYED HAG" in a "CLOVEN PINE,"
cloro's 3: "GOOD WOMBS," " MOST DELICATE MONSTER," and "BE NOT AFRAID."

A Midsummer Night's Dream - bluemoon's 'LOVE LOOKS NOT WITH EYES,"
cloro's "MERRY WANDERER OF THE NIGHT,"
five's "SWIFT AS A SHADOW."

While I was personally much taken by Lizzi's sneaking of Little Orphan Annie into the Scottish play, I found a special favorite in cloro's green Puck, who perfectly expressed the mischievous attitude which creates the entire plot. So for chlorophilla's MERRY WANDERER, I pass the baton and await development for Mugdots Challenge XCI. Thanks to all who entered!

Normal, this was the great challenge and wished I could participate.... (I'll surely add something later.)
And clo's Puck, good choice!
Looking forward to it.

Oh boo. This'll teach me to find time to check in, no matter how crazy things go. So sorry to have missed this challenge, but enjoyed seeing what everyone came up with. Good work, all!

clorophilla

Thank you Normal for this beautiful challenge, it inspired me! And no matter, I've in mind to collect all Shakespeare's pics in one topic (newer and older challenges) and put them as a permanent gallery, so everyone could add pics!

I jus have a good idea for the next challenge, just wait...

Just jumping to the top of the list... (Sorry)
