Hummingbird Moment

Have been hearing a lot lately about people I know who've had close up interactions with hummingbirds.  For such a tiny bird, they certainly leave a lasting impression when they pay attention to people.

Today's collage is a study of inspiration in simple things. A panting dog, a colorful butterfly, music and light.

Day 329 The Composer's intent

08/25/13

Louise Hay affirmation:   “All my relationships are harmonious.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Work with only tissue paper or toilet paper today.

Media:  Sheet music, Tissue paper, Mod Podge, Bird embellishment

Time:  1H

Comments:  I was thinking about harmony in music for today's collage, and how some compositions (like bird songs) are beautifully light and harmonious in their arrangement.  While others are moving in their own right, yet have cymbal crashes and deep, pounding drum beats written in by the composer for dramatic effect. Different composition entirely, but harmonious in the overall scheme of things.

Day 130 The Vacant Chair

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I am learning to choose to make today a pleasure to experience.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Pick a piece of music you love (or hate) and use it as the inspiration for today’s piece.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photo, Music paper from The Civil War Songbook, Watercolors,  Matte medium

Time:   1H

Comments:  The music I chose for this collage was from an old songbook I had called The Civil War Songbook.  Thought the title played well with an image of a classic, yet contemporary, lounge chair from a recent design magazine.  

"Aged" the whole thing with watercolors to give the appearance of a Civil War era artifact.  Wonder how many people learned to choose to make today a pleasure in 1865 when this music was first composed and sung?  And when so many chairs sat vacant at home?
