Being creative everyday is tough. Of course, some of that difficulty is self-imposed – wanting to do something new everyday and having no clear plan or focus. Today was one of those uncreative days.

On the other hand, doing Thing-A-Day forces me to get out of comfortable routines and patterns; forces me to actually do something instead of just think about it. For me, it is a good exercise.

Today was not a very inspiring day. I went through all sorts of “junk” in the hopes of being inspired, but ... nothing really jumped out at me. In the end, I decided to photograph a vacuum thermocouple and try to make it into a squid or jelly fish type thing by adding more legs using GIMP. In the end, I just grafted it into a picture of a flower I took last Summer.

A vacuum thermocouple. Give it four more legs and an eye and it could pass as some weird octopus. Give it lots of legs and it might pass for a jellyfish.

A poppy from my flower bed in Montreal.

The overlaid images. Not terribly exciting, but I think (in terms of technique) it came out very well.

Well, if the bees disappear, the flowers will have to get pollinated somehow.
