Summer Rains Quadrant

The horses charging through water in today's collage remind me of the heavy rains we received this week, where 4-10 inches dropped in one night.  Texas in July typically welcomes rain, but this storm ended up being dramatic.  My house was not negatively impacted by the deluge, but people at work wanted to know if I'd come in to the office on a boat.   

Silver lining on these storm clouds, all week we've enjoyed cooler temperatures that came with the rain.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “My healing is already in process.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create something based on the shapes found in a plant in your immediate vicinity.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Wegman calendar photo, Mod Podge, Vellum confetti

Time:  1H:20M

Comments:  Today's collage features an forward-moving weimeraner pup, with equine companions in tow, focused on progressing in the process of healing.  The larger green leaf on the right side was from a tag on a shirt I purchased the other day.  Inspiration (and healing) comes from unlikely sources at times.

Day 224  There is a solution

Louise Hay affirmation:   “For every problem that I create, there is a solution.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Use dirt as your medium or inspiration today.

Time:  1H

Comments:   Was listening to a program on Animal Communicators as I worked on today's collage.  Interesting to think that there are intuitive people around that can speak to animals as clearly as some people can speak to one another.  Ironically, many examples of issues that pets have, physically and emotionally, came out as something created on the animal's response to their human companions.

I found the horse auction ring on the left side of the page an interesting, upscale, venue for trading of animals.  With it's red colored, upholstered seating and diamond studded (added by me) sand ring for the horses to stand in, it speaks to the value that these creatures possess both intrinsically and to people that would bid on them.   Would love to know what the horse is thinking as it stands in this ring. 

The sand and glass tubing on the page together reminded me that glass is made from melted sand.  

All are one.  For every problem I create, there is a solution.

Day 118 A horse is a horse

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I flow with the changes taking place in my life as best I can.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something out of wood. 

 

Media:  Magazine photos, Matte medium

Time:  1H

Comments:  Loved the nostalgic charm of the hand-made wood toys in this collage.  Some show their age and seem to be frozen in a time before electronic toys were so prevalent in modern life.  While others are brand new creations that take inspiration from the past but are interpreted in a modern way.  

Flowing with changes taking place in my life is a lot like this.  Sometimes personal change looks like a slow evolution, where the past is considered and the present is a newer version of an earlier me.
