In this video, I show you what I've been working on over the last few months of summer, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The focus of the video is centered around 5x7" collage art in my concertina journal. The journal was folded and cut from a large 18x24" watercolour painting on Strathmore 140 lb paper. I 'd folded it up into a "concertina" book after learning from a course I'd taken by UK artist, Helen Wells. Each page is a great background or jumping off point for a 5x7" artwork.

I show how I remove some finished pages from the journal and put them in a 5x7" mat for an 8x10" frame. I also show how I use my "mat kits" to store my finished works on paper.

I pull a card from an art deck called "Wisdom of the Sacred Oracle" by artist, Judy Lanfredi. Also, I pick a card from my own Art Poetry card deck and share my insights into the words and images.

I also show the beautiful book by Stephanie Thomas, "Beasts With A Backstory" and also do a little flip through of some pages from Uppercase magazine.
