Another idea, inspired by a 21 Secrets Class. Number 19 on my list of creative experiments to try is Chinese paper cutting, maybe because I already had a plan on how to learn that… Chinese paper cutting is one of the classes at 21 Secrets (last day to sign up tomorrow)! Now at least one […]

Fearless Painting
Another idea, inspired by a 21 Secrets Class. Connie calls her class in the first edition of 21 Secrets 2010 where I too taught; Get It Out – Get It Down, and in it the students are allowed to explore an intuitive way of painting, you know, painting without a plan or too much thinking. […]
Its been snowing here
Collage 24: On a darkish day. During the week it has been chilly mornings but rainy days under a grayish sky – creating slush on the ground that makes my mood sink. On such days I always wish I could be a bear that would now be sleeping in winter lair, but no such luck, […]
Art is my healthiest habit
“Trust this” art collage by iHanna. Day 23 of Art Every Day month November 2010. Todays card with layers of this and that, mostly beige tissue paper, lots of tissue paper.

Tune into abundance
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. /Wayne Dyer There is an abundance of inspiration and creativity in the wold. It makes me happy. Today I just wanted to put something up on my blog before I went to sleep, and I’m to tired to blog any of the abundance […]

Collage Art Every Day
Collage from 5 -12th of November 2010, ongoing Art Every Day this month by iHanna. Every Second Day… I should call my project art every second day, because that is what it always becomes. I am not an every-day-kind of girl no matter how much I try, I just am too tired some days. Or […]
the Sketchbook Project | Blue grid and some rain
Blue grid #2. Newspaper crossword squares, pencil lines, washi tape with blue grid, blue envelope lining, ballpoint squares, illustration from a vintage school book and some watercoloured blue imaginary bar chart with numbers. Just a play with scraps of paper, letting them form a grid, using lines. Thinking of nothing in particular, just experimenting a […]
The start of a wool embroidery
After reading nightly in this very cool new Swedish book about wool embroidery called Yllebroderi (a must-own-book!) I was very eager to start a wool embroidery of my own. A bit too eager (plus watching a movie at the same time). I tried drawing a flower and filling the contours of it, but because I […]
A pocketfull of zines
I have received a two new zines this week! Lucky me. The first one was from Linda in Italy. She was inspired to make her own zine after reading my Mettazine, and as a way to say a very generous and big “thank you” she sent me her little publication. She calls her zine Pensieri, […]
Art journaling some more darkness
This page is a hodge podge of different things and “darkness imagery” that I really like. The very cool hanging bat is actually in the altered book, so I just painted black around those images. Then I’ve added magazine images, ephemera, labels, printed tissue paper with my own doodle and my own copied and spray […]
the Sketchbook Project | Pink Grids and lines
Today, an update from my personal sketchbook in The Sketchbook Project that I am participating in. Some finished spreads in my (trying to) “keep it simple” Moleskine sketchbook. Here we go; Pink squares in a pencil line grid. Lines of my painted paper. Rows of letters. Now collaged together from my “good scrap pile” and […]
