Day 51 Wide open arteries

11/20/12

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I choose to love life.  My channels of joy are wide open.  It is safe to receive.” (high cholesterol)

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something that would not normally be considered cute and cuddly into something that is.

Media:  Calendar, magazine, and catalog photos, Sharpie.

Time:   2H

Comments:  A rugged cowboy riding  a horse on a wide open prairie is not an especially cuddly image, but this collage depicts him with sweet things he's taking to someone special. 

Something about a rugged, tough guy thinking about sweet gestures automatically makes him more cute and cuddly in my book.  He's choosing to love life, and is receiving through the act of giving to someone special. 

Day 22 Bridging the open space

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I choose to live through the open space in my heart.  I look for love and find it everywhere.” (liver problems)

Day 22 Bridging the open space

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Create a bridge.  Connect two things in a creative way.  Small enough for an amoeba or big enough for an elephant to cross.

Media:  Magazine photos, vellum, glue stick, Sharpie

Time:   2H

Comments:   The heart is a bridge between mysterious and chaotic night in contemporary urban life, and the mystery of faeries playing in daylight gardens.   The open space that allows us to span the gaps between the two lies within.
