Louise Hay affirmation:   
“My life is a mirror.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make a city out of objects you have on hand.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge, Watercolors, Sharpie

Time:  1H:20M

Comments:   I used photos of the city of Dallas skyline that I had on hand for today's collage.  Also included dandelion seed pods, adrift in the wind and artfully placed on the side of large, boring, square building begging for something beautiful on its blank outer surface.  I like the way the shape of the dandelion seeds mirror the shape of the iconic "ball" atop Dallas' Reunion Tower.  Art imitates Life imitates Nature.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “Every day it gets easier to look into my own eyes in the mirror and say, “I love you just the way you are.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:  Make or buy a frame and use it to showcase something that already exists so people can see it in a new way.  

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine catalog photos, Calendar page, Mirror, Zots, Mod Podge

Time: 1H   

Comments:  Today's collage features framed dog portraits, including my own dog's eyes reflected back in the mirror on the left side.  And Jane Oriel's shaggy pooch painting on the right.

Day 108 Rub a dub

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I no longer choose to believe in old limitations and lacks.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Make something in the fog in your bathroom mirror.  

Media:  Magazine photos, Glue stick, Sharpie

Time:  1H

Comments: Looking in the mirror at choices made in the past can be a humbling experience.  However, recognizing that, at any time, we can choose to see things differently can be fun and liberating.  I'm coming to realize that believing in limitations and lacks can bring them forward.  And simply believing they are not a part of who I am today can have the opposite effect.
