In this video I start with randomly choosing a card from my "Art Poetry for Insights and Inspiration" card deck. I discuss my most recent art projects and where my inspiration has come from. We start a little collage palette book on folder paper. I show how I tear my painted papers and use them to create new ideas in my art journal.

I finish the video by flipping through a beautiful book by Jessica Swift, called "Radiant Rainbows". I also show a little demo of using paint pens and creating a small rainbow and an inspiring word in my art journal.
