The Daily Create today was to make a Sound Cloud recording of your own last words. Mine are here: My Famous Last Words! Someone says, Sanai is dead. No small thing to say. He was not bits of husk, or a puddle that freezes overnight, or a comb that cracks when you use it, or […]

That is today’s Daily Create: PSA for DS106 PSA (Public Service Announcement) – DS106 is a cause you want more people to know about, isn’t it? These movie trailers are easy to make in iMovie on my iPad, and I literally had to knock this out in thirty minutes or not do it all–so I […]

Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Make a doodle that interacts with its surroundings October 11, 2014. I started in Paper 53 painting the background. I accessed the Paper 53 Mix Community for the image of the girl. I saved both separately into my Camera Roll. Using Google Images, I downloaded the thought bubble, the picture […]

October 9, 2014 Today’s Daily Create is a writing challenge: (Don’t) describe #wire106 That @jimgroom (and @paulbond) are running “Wire106,” all about TV drama “The Wire.” They love that show. Bless ‘em. Describe “The Wire” in a way that is almost entirely lies. Aim to entirely confuse any person who hasn’t seen “The Wire.” If […]

Shamelessly borrowed from Amusing Plant www.amusingplanet.com/2010/06/unexpected-turn-of-events-a… Unexpected Turn of Events at the Guinea Pig Festival! Today’s Daily Create assignment is: Evil guinea pigs October 8, 2014 Share an image that has something to do with guinea pigs. And how EVIL those deceptively cute balls of fluffy terror truly are. I think is quite a strange […]

At Lane Community College, Kathy, Mara, Claudia and I are sitting around starting to DS 106 blogify together.  

Yesterday’s (Mon. Oct. 6, 2014) Daily Create called for new and unusual letterhead to be designed for DS 106. This is my offering–my own handwriting on Paper 53 mixed on Bazaart with a photograph of my husband Peter I took at the beach. I made him very transparent to give either an angelic or a […]

  Today’s Daily Create is to draw a 2 minute doodle about your feelings! For inspiration go to I feel like a half-baked cookie and say ‘Awww….’ HT @drGarcia for spotting this one. I am at the Cliff House high over the mouth of the Alsea River watching salmon fishermen (no women in sight down there). I […]

  It’s hard to believe we’ve hit Day 1000 of the Daily Creates! I’ve done literally hundreds of them and learned an immense amount in the proces–mostly about photography and post production apps. This one took a while because it was my third idea. The image is a screen shot of my iPad camera roll […]

Trace yourself! October 3, 2014 Take a picture of you and some tracing paper. Trace your features. You may trace another persons’s features on the same paper. Make it funny or make it beautiful. This is a riff on the assignment. I wanted to see if I could tell a story around the “tracing” idea, […]

    With DS106 in mind, what might your Empathy Map look like? For this Daily Create I wanted to avoid language and think with images. First, I started a drawing in Paper 53. I got impatient with my drawing non-skills and moved my sketch into Bazaart, which is the best collaging tool out there. […]

I called this blog "Mind on Fire," because it's taking a lot of mental huffing and puffing to get this blaze going!
