Hi John,
My best art moments often happen when I stop trying to make things perfect and allow them to evolve naturally.
These heart collages are a tiny bit structured, but the process is loaded with serendipity and play.
Real beauty often comes from the pieces that don't quite match.
This makes them charming, personal, hand-hewn.
What delightful paper treasures are hiding in your recycling bin or craft stash?
Start there and see what you can come up with...
I used an old book page, scrapbook paper, and gel-printed painted scraps.
Do hearts need to be perfect?
Nope!

These heart collages remind me why I love making art - it's about giving ourselves permission to play and experiment.
That's why I'm so excited to share something new with you...
The TinkerSketch Experience is a new daily art practice I'm launching this February...
It's a dedicated space with daily word prompts that spark new ideas to help you show up for your creativity and experiment freely.
You'll use this time to doodle, draw, paint, and collage - all in service of creating your art habit!
This is for makers of all ages. Since starting the TinkerSketch project over 10 years ago, we've welcomed:
- Adults rediscovering their creativity after a long break
- Parents and preschoolers making art together
- Retirees exploring their artistic side
- Teachers looking for their own creative outlet
- Anyone who says, "I'm not artistic but wish I was"
- Busy professionals craving a creative routine
- Art journal and sketchbook enthusiasts
- Parents who want to model creativity for their kids
- Those healing through creative practice
- Artists developing a regular practice
If you're ready to build a consistent creative practice with a community celebrating progress over perfection, join me!
Because this is a beta launch and your feedback will help shape the future of TinkerSketch, I'm offering special early access pricing:
→ $17 one-time fee (regular price $27) with code: MAKEART10
→ Offer ends Thursday, January 30th at 11:59 PM EST
With joy,
Rachelle
