Louise Hay affirmation:   “I have plenty of time.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Make something boring seem exciting.   

Media:  Calendar and Magazine photos, Mod Podge, Notebook paper

Time:  1H:20M

Comments:  I've often wondered about how something as (typically) boring as solid weave carpet can be made exciting in print ads.  For today's collage, I'm celebrating basket woven textiles in flowery colors, that puppies have decided to climb all over.   Funny how even boring things become exciting through the eyes of a puppy with plenty of time to explore.

Comments:  Today's collage reflects the creative work and efforts of many contributors.  From the interesting reflection of a shoe in transparent glass, to the yellow  lab puppy defying anatomy to pose in a one-armed handstand. to the varied textiles, natural and man-made materials, and advertising art from magazines.   Even in today's world dominated by advances in science and technology, creativity is always in demand.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I think of my thoughts as my best friends.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create a tattoo or something inspired by tattoos.

Comments:  Dogs have long been considered 'man's best friend'.  Today's collage shares a new take on the theme with a yellow lab puppy thinking "of my thoughts as my best friends".  
The tattoo on his/her arm is a butterfly, which represents change and transformation of old thoughts to their new form.
