Feeling Combobulated⤴

Today’s TDC was written to fit in with the first day of the Reclaim Hosting conference, and in particular to celebrate our new website: Combobulating.
When Mark first offered us the domain name we didn’t think it was a word, but of course others before us had come up with a definition:
To compose (one’s self); to compose, organize, design, or arrange; to reverse the effect of discombobulation.
Well, we can’t promise our website will do that, but it’s given us a lot of joy doing it and, to me, that epitomises what the Daily Create is – it brings me moments of hope and joy when I participate and see what others have devised as their responses.
So here’s to you, my fellow combobulators. Thanks for all the fun, and long may it continue.
And if this has affected you, make your claim for compensation here.
How I found the Daily Create⤴

I found out about the Daily Create because I became part of an online community. As I’ve written before, in 2014 I signed up for an online experience organised by Dave Cormier called Rhizomatic Learning – The community is the curriculum which I thought was going to be about Deleuze and Guattari, and even though it wasn’t I met a bunch of great people and am still collaborating with some of them in various ways a decade later. I was also introduced to CLMOOC and found many like-minded remixers and bricoleurs there.
As a result of meeting these people, and particularly thanks to my friend Ron Leunissen, I was introduced to #DS106 and the Daily Create. I dipped in and out of participation at first, only responding if a prompt really piqued my interest, but since November 22nd 2017 I have completed the daily challenge every day, without fail. I’ve also written about how important it is to me on a guest reclaim blog post, and I won’t repeat all I said there about the influence that this daily activity has had for me – but it’s a hugely important part of my daily life. Well, after 2894 days of participation it’s not surprising that it’s very much #4life for me.

How to tell a story⤴

How to tell a story
Who am I to tell you how to tell your story?
You might start at the beginning
Or in the middle, or at the end
If the story wants to be told, it will leap from your mind onto the page
And then, from those pages, it will jump into mine.
A poem for today’s Daily Create.
Castle in the Sky⤴
from NomadWarMachine
Today’s Daily Create asks us to:
Design your version of a castle in the sky. Make a drawing or an image of your castle in the sky (note that make does not mean “make a google search for someone else’s image”)
I found a doodle I had done of a castle

and uploaded it to Lunapic, choosing a ‘floating’ filter

Then I used the ‘bubbles’ animation:
And posted it.

Turner and the Dragon⤴
from NomadWarMachine
Today is St George’s Day, and today’s Daily Create celebrates that and asks us to “make some art to celebrate this auspicious day”. April 23rd is also Turner’s birthday, and I wanted to make something to mix these two days together.
I knew Turner had painted dragons, so I looked for inspiration and found this:

I loved the dragon detail in this picture, and especially as recreated by Arthur Burgess, and that gave me an idea.
I was sure that I had doodled a dragon at some point, and sure enough I had:

I took this image and uploaded it to NightCafe and asked it to transform this doodle into “An oil painting in the style of Turner”. This is what it gave me:

I’m pretty pleased with this.
