Louise Hay affirmation:   “Life is good and so it is!”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Use a toothbrush and/or toothpaste as the central component of what you do today.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  50M

Comments:  Today's collage reminds me of conversations that I have with my dog, Cleo, when her breath isn't smelling as fresh as a rose.  I try to convince her that toothbrushing is a good idea.  She'd rather talk about when her next dinner is coming.     

The photo of the space on the right side of the page is from Interior Design magazine and makes me think more of looking down someone's throat than walking through a building.  Thought it worked with a theme about toothbrushes.   

Day 214 Unlimited potential

Louise Hay affirmation:   

“I have unlimited potential.  

I rejoice in my unlimitedness.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Use toothpicks as your main material or inspiration today.

Media:  Magazine photos, Mod Podge, Watercolors

Time:  1H:30M

Comments:  There are some unique qualities to a year-long, daily project.  One of which is that, some days, you just don't feel like it... (I couldn't come up with any inspiration related to toothpicks today.)  

Decided to plow through my flagging inspiration and focus on unlimited potential instead.   Potential to me hints at a myriad of possibilities, represented by street signs pointing all different directions.  

The rose reminds us that essential oil of rose has the highest vibrational frequency of all the essential oils and may possess unlimited possibilities for healing body, mind, imagination and expanding unlimited potential.   

The "imagine" mosaic with flowers was from a fabric ad in Interior Design magazine and represents the unlimitedness of the imagination. 

Day 204 In total balance

Louise Hay affirmation:   “I am in total balance.  My system is in order. I love life and circulate freely.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Ask someone for a suggestion on what to do today.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Magazine photos, Mod Podge

Time:  1H:10M

Comments:  Today's collage is a study in visual balance without being strictly symmetrical.  My system is in order and I love life in yellow.

Louise Hay affirmation:   “Each cell in my body has Divine intelligence.”

Inspiration exercise from 365 Daily Creativity Journal:   Create a tiny version of something that would normally be much bigger.

Media:  Scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, Watercolors

Time:   1H:20M

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.
