Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Tissue paper, Mod Podge

Time:  1H

Comments:  Today's collage features a mystery-solving canine duo in hot pursuit of the truth... that they live and move in a safe and secure world. 

Ironically, this truth is under a cone-of-silence-like oversized lamp shade from Buzzispace that gives a humorous nod to the 'murder' of distracting outside noises.

Day 228 Balancing act

Louise Hay affirmation:   “Opportunities are everywhere.  
I have unlimited choices.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Work with the weights of things to create something that’s perfectly balanced on a small point.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:15M

Comments:  Today's collage depicts the weighted dice that can feel like our lives, and the balancing act between the everyday smarts of man and the eternal wisdom of owl.  

On the dice and in numerology, the 5 stands for change, which can be a distinctly challenging dimension to balance in life.  The robot fulcrum in the center is wearing some jauntily stacked lamp shades for a belt, and represents the cross between creative whimsy and tech gadgetry that props up our scales and makes us choose how we will balance ourselves.  I have unlimited choices.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine and calendar photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H

Comments:  Sometimes pasting on a smile and recognizing that "All of life is change" is the best thing we can do. In today's collage, I'm celebrating April Fool's Day with a silly chimp wearing a lamp shade for a hat.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I am willing to change. I choose to change my thinking. I choose to change the words I use.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something seem like it is passing through a wall or other solid material that it normally wouldn’t or couldn’t.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine & Catalog photos, Matte medium

Time:  1H:10M

Comments:  This collage is about mixing things that don't normally go together and having them pass through objects and spaces they normally wouldn't.  A lot like the process of change itself.
