The number Three

The number three was the subject of a rerun episode of Ancient Aliens that I watched on TV this afternoon, and just happens to be my Life Path number in numerology.   Got me thinking about the number 3 today.  

Today's collage features a kaleidoscope of reds and yellows, along with a few other symbols:   

A classic Eames chair representing design and aesthetics, 

The number 3 representing my lifepath and career choices, 

Yellow representing the color of the third chakra (solar plexus chakra), 

A sea creature representing the stinging comments or reactions I sometimes receive from others around me,  

and A butterfly representing change and growth. 

Message from Ask And It Will Happen deck by Joanne Gregory:  

Don't Be A Victim.  

"Recognize when you are in victim mode and know you can be free of it. Make the choice to stop hurting. Choose to believe that you are doing better, and that good things are coming to you.  What you believe to be true will be."

Comments:  Today's collage about bicycles features an Interface flooring ad that I found interesting.  The bicycle is hung on a wall below a piece of Art.  I added the classic Eames side chair in front of it to hint that someone might sit in front of the wall and consider both pieces as one would an Art gallery hanging.   Both are bike and painting are beautiful, functional, sculptural, and worthy of consideration. 

The wall of windows that overlooks a bright city reminds us that our opportunities for success are unlimited. We need merely to look out into the world and seek them.  

The flamingo is a leftover swizzle stick from my swirl margarita at happy hour at Uncle Julio's in Dallas.  It's there as a reminder that when unique people come together in a spirit of friendship, comraderie, storytelling, and creative exchange of ideas, who knows what might happen.  Even a flamingo may ride a bicycle!

Day 127 Classic joys

Louise Hay affirmation:   “It is with joy that I learn to love myself more and more.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Mail art. Take an existing postcard and alter it.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Postcard, Vellum Grid paper, Matte medium, Foil paper

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:  The blue postcard featured in this collage has a furniture theme and was part of the Herman Miller showroom at Neocon (international tradeshow for the design and furniture industries) in Chicago a couple years ago.  I used mid-century classics in the furniture photos to reflect on the Joy that is good design.
