Picture Book Prompt 63

“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.” ―Mark Twain

Choose your own pieces of “colored glass” ―ideas that have appeal—and turn the kaleidoscope. How can you turn them to yield new combinations and patterns? Make absurd combinations and play with them.
