I first saw paint swatch poetry on two fab blogs I follow, Leaf and Petal and The Magpie Diaries.  I thought it was a great idea and couldn’t wait to get to the DIY store to grab a handful of paint swatches.  They must have thought I was painting a whole building once I had gathered my pile! I did a couple of random ‘poem’s and it is super fun, I thought I would have to have lots of attempts, but I just went for it and discarded the less successful. I arranged the cards by colour rather than the crazy names, so that I wouldn’t get distracted by the words.  I find random very difficult, so I let myself sort colours. Cards with three colours were easier because all the ‘organising’ is already done. I started with these.   From the Tree Apple Cider From the Field Brown Bread From Pure Joy Gingersnap.   Oh my goodness, those Pinking Shears have gone Completely Bananas at my expense. There is no more Hibiscus Tea thanks …
