The Ulimate Future II

10/13/13

12x9 Mixed Media Collage

Still playing around with Chameleon's today and ruminating on Animal Messages related to goal-setting. Today's collage features a mild-mannered lizard sitting in a tree, thinking about what his/her future holds.

    

Ultimate Future II

Chameleon

http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Messages-Susie-Green/dp/190499184X

Inspired by the Chameleon card, in a deck of Animal Messages cards by Susie Green.  According to the card, chameleon represents both beauty and the bizarre.  He/she fascinates and bewitches.  Brings a message that rare energies surround me.  And I possess senses beyond the normal five- psychic communication, awareness of auras and vibration of energies. Much the way chameleon changes color as an expression of his feelings in certain situations, he also tells me that others need to know how I feel.

The Ultimate Future

Chameleon

http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Messages-Susie-Green/dp/190499184X

Today's collage, on the subject of setting goals, is a bright Chameleon in a wild purple setting with a message for my future.  This card, in a deck of Animal Messages cards by Susie Green, turned up when I spent time today thinking about my ultimate future as I look for new creative direction.  

According to the card, chameleon represents both beauty and the bizarre.  He/she fascinates and bewitches.  Brings a message that rare energies surround me.  And I possess senses beyond the normal five- psychic communication, awareness of auras and vibration of energies.

“Life supports me.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Imagine you are an animal and work as that animal would today.

Comments:  Today's animals are chameleons from a paint ad that caught my attention.  I work like a chameleon many days in an attempt to keep things running smoothly, and trying to keep the tangled weeds out of the furniture.  Thankfully, deep, rich blues and greens exist to help calm the mind and the spirit.

Comments:  For today's collage, I was thinking about the purple coloring in the chameleon-like lizard on its branch and enjoying how closely the colors match the photo of heirloom roses, and the iridescent purple textiles that make up the background of the image.  All from separate magazines, yet all looked to me like they went together.  Each cell in a lizard that can color him/herself in purple MUST be guided by Divine intelligence.
