    I have been thinking about starting the journey of Art journaling. I can neither draw nor paint like a professional artist. This beautiful piece of art is stunning. I am in love with what you have achieved here in 40 minutes. I am encouraged to get my act together and start the journey of self-expression through art journaling. Thank you for sharing and giving me the courage to start.

      You do know this wasn't completed in 40 minutes, right? Some of the video was sped up, some parts weren't in the video (like drying time) and other elements of making something like this are going to take much longer than 40 minutes. It's beautiful work and it takes time and patience especially when it comes to the drying times.

    Gorgeous! Love this so much!
    As we know art is subjective and this is your piece but I wanted to so many times stop you from adding more dark green. Less is more (for me watching this)
    Thank you so much for the idea. You are so talented. I think I would’ve done less of the green on the right side since there was already so much color and when you added the light pink at the top of the left page i thought wow what a beautiful touch then you covered it. Lol. It was so beautiful instantly but I really wanted to take the brush 15 minutes before you finished. I hope you take this in the spirit intended lol you got my mind thinking and getting my creative juices flowing. key word subjective and you have given me some other ideas I would do. Absolutely gorgeous. I wish I had those beautiful napkins. Thank you for sharing!!! 💚🎨 You inspired me during a tough period.
