Louise Hay affirmation:   

“I rejoice in other’s successes, knowing there is plenty for us all.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make a book out of something other than paper.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Picasso Guernica Poster, Ribbon, Sharpie Mod Podge

Time:  2H:20M

Comments:  I sometimes joke that "I'm no Picasso" when people ask about the kind of Art that I make.  Today's collage is a direct homage to Pablo Picasso, an undeniably successful Artist in his day.  The background image of a woman holding the book was inspired by his Portrait of Marie Therese Walter.  I used a small-scale reproduction poster of his monumental Guernica mural to create the book itself.   

Though I may not find the artistic acclaim that he enjoyed during his life, it's nice to think about the idea that there is plenty of success for us all.  His work has inspired artists and Art enthusiasts for decades.
