Louise Hay affirmation:   “I rejoice in what I have, and I greet the new with open arms.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create something that’s only visible from one specific angle or location.

Media:  Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:10M

Comments:  Enjoying the view from this 1972 Nat Geo picture of a red frog's belly, which is perfectly matched in color by random sea grasses and coral in some other part of the world.  Then eerily mimicked in a modern day wire box structure from Interior Design magazine in 2013.  I rejoice in the bright colors of nature and the ability of humans to recognize and borrow from it to create new viewing angles. 

Day 323 Releasing all

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I release all fear and doubts.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Work with only music media: old cd’s, records, cassettes, eight-track cartridges, or reel-to-reel tape and/or their cases.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, National Geographic magazine photos, The Etude magazine record player advertisement, Watercolor, Catalog photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:  Mixed images of record players, headphones, and undersea coral that looks like scary ears for day's collage about releasing all fear and doubts.  Little more dark and abstract than some of my other efforts, but it seems to work for the theme and for my mood today.

Day 181 Magnificent machines

Louise Hay affirmation:   

“I recognize my body as a wondrous and magnificent machine, and I feel privileged to live in it.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Use bones, skulls, and/or skeletons as your inspiration today.

Media:  Magazine photos, Tissue paper, Wax pastels, Mod Podge

Time:  1H

Comments:  Had an opportunity to ride the Grapevine Vintage Railroad (magnificent machine) to the Fort Worth Stockyards and back... With such an Old West theme for the day's outing, I couldn't resist using a longhorn skull for this collage (also liked the red coral 'skeletons' along the outside edges).  

While I was in Fort Worth, got to see the live cattle drive that the Stockyards hosts for tourists.  What wondrous and magnificent machines to see these huge animals up close.  

I feel privileged to have enjoyed such an outing today and to live in my body (another magnificent machine) along the way.
