Louise Hay affirmation:   “I keep my mind healthy and happy, and my body follows suit. ”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal: Open a random drawer where you live or work and create something with just the contents.  

Media:  Postcards, Brochure, Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  50M

Comments:  The contents of my random drawer at work that make up today's collage were a brochure for an upcoming, annual, office furniture tradeshow (NeoCon).  A postcard from a Discover card and another from the International Interior Design Association (IIDA).   

In addition to enjoying a visit to Chicago, Neocon's a great place for designers to see the latest furniture and interior finish material introductions.  And a fun way to collect an overabundance of tote bags.  I keep my mind healthy and happy.

Day 127 Classic joys

02/04/13

Louise Hay affirmation:   “It is with joy that I learn to love myself more and more.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Mail art. Take an existing postcard and alter it.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Postcard, Vellum Grid paper, Matte medium, Foil paper

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:  The blue postcard featured in this collage has a furniture theme and was part of the Herman Miller showroom at Neocon (international tradeshow for the design and furniture industries) in Chicago a couple years ago.  I used mid-century classics in the furniture photos to reflect on the Joy that is good design.
