17. My Cat Molly

My kitten is literally fucking insane....and I'm also pretty sure she hates me.  She runs into walls....over...and over again...and for whatever reason it doesn't hurt her and she strangely seems to like it.  She has been SPRINTING around the house for the past 3 hours like a maniac...jumping on everything and then immediately jumping off and running away, biting my feet, attacking and jumping up my legs, walking across my computer while trying to bite my fingers....and of course, when I try to capture this ridiculousness on video...specifically for this post.  She decides now is a good time to go to sleep...how very convenient of you, Devil kitty.  You'll be sleeping in your cage tonight.

She is clearly unamused with me, per usual

House Of Cards makes zero sense
Maybe I should watch

my "hot" boyfriend

14. Creative Process 1

...according to Graham Wallas

1) Preparation
2) Incubation
3) Illumination
4) Verification

I definitely agree that there is a creative process to some extent, but I am having difficulty wrapping my head around the idea that it can be put into steps.  Creativity is personally inventive; it is different for everyone.  The Preparation Stage is defined as "the problem to be solved is carefully considered and resources are gathered in order to confront the task.  The conscious mind is focused on the problem" (the creative process, illustrated pg. 7).  The problem I have with this definition as well as the other 3, is that these only apply to the creative process if you are given a specific task and told to do something with it.  In that sense, these steps do make sense.  However, when creativity is free-flowing all on its own, without rules or guidelines I think the starting place, and all the steps in between are completely different for each person. And that can not be put into stages or steps, it just happens all on its own.

13. My Passion

A passion is something you love
Something that drives your life in the direction you want it to go
It is something that makes you who you are
For me it is horses
Riding is my life, it is a part of me

12. Sonia Rykiel

Sonia is the designer who invented the "poor boy" sweater .... meaning, she was the first person to make a soft, comfy sweater.  I am doing an infographic on her life and her designs.  This was the cover of Elle when her sweater first became known to the world.

11. Money - Abundance - Scarcity - Wealth

I chose not to take the challenge of creating a collage using money for a few reasons.  First off, I happen to have zero cash in my room right now and there is no ATM near by.  But, even if I did I still most likely would not have done it.  I would rather not obstruct money by gluing it to something, or gluing something to it, frankly because it would be a waste.  I don't have a problem with making something creative with money, but anything that would permanently destroy it would make me uncomfortable.  Overall, the main reason is because I did not have any cash accessible to do the assignment, so I figured I would discuss why I chose not to instead.
