Exploring the Power of Intuitive Collage with a New Mini Muse
One with Nature ~ a new mini muse!
It’s been over a year since I created a mini muse. I don’t know why I’ve waited so long! I absolutely love the process of creating on a tiny little substrate. I’d forgotten just how fun and free the process is. I love working with the tiny scraps of paper and fabric, and how just the littlest detail can change so much. Being able to start and finish a piece of art no matter the size feels really good.
Creating intuitive collage art is such a deeply healing proces…
"Never Been There, Never Done That" Summer Adventure List
Hello Creative Friends,
I recently listened to a new episode, ‘5 Fun Ideas to Shake Up Your Life & Get out of a Rut’ on the Mel Robbins Podcast, and it was the most perfect timing. I had already been thinking a lot about how much I benefit from breaks in my routine. Over the weekend, I tried a new yoga class with a friend and I shared with her how wellness retreats are a much-needed reset for me. The habits I pick up at these retreats often become part of my lifestyle, and their benefits last for…

Tips for creating stunning flat lay photos of your mixed media art
Here are my top tips to help you achieve the best results with your mixed media art:
Photographing mixed media art flat lays can be a great way to showcase the intricate details and textures of your mixed media artwork.
Thrifting
I am halfway through a painting and feeling kind of stuck. There are things I really like about it and things I don’t like very much at all. I decided to visit the @yongestreetthrift store in my village #burksfalls and see what kind of inspiration I could find. After a fun half hour of exploring, I came home with fabric, lace, an embroidered tablecloth AND a brand new beautiful set of watercolour paints that will be wonderful for taking with me on a trip or into the woods.
Self Care
There are those days when low mood makes everything a little harder.
Sometimes these are the days where nothing I do on the canvas looks right.

Green is the colour of Nature and the earth, helping us connect with empathy to others and the natural world. We instinctively seek it out when under stress or experiencing emotional trauma. It creates a feeling of …
