A Collage book of the Masters
It’s been a while since I reviewed a book here on my blog so I thought I’d get back in the habit – because I really enjoy sharing my finds with you guys. The book that I’ve just finished reading is called simply Masters: Collage: Major Works by Leading Artists, and it is from from […]
Ocean Embroidery
The Ocean Embroidery is a collaboration project with my embroidery group. I created the blue ocean using transparent fabrics that I cut out like waves before I attached them using the sewing machine. That was the start of this pieces, after that it has been touring the homes of ten women who all added their […]
I believe in Creativity
I believe in the power of Creativity. I talk about it on my About me page and in the zine I created last year I wrote: Creativity is my religion. This video is like a 3 minute meditation that I could listen to over and over again, because it is filled with power. I had […]
Share the Postcarding Joy
Last year there were 160 swappers, this year we are a whopping 280 swappers! 280 people x 10 postcards equals 2800 postcards! I hope you did join my fantastically awesome DIY Postcard Swap 2011!?

the Sketchbook Project | Lines, squares and cross...
I got a sketchbook with the theme grids and lines in the mail last year for The Brooklyn Art Library and their huge sketchbook exhibition. This exhibition is now on tour in the US, and if you have the time I think you should go see it. I would spend a few hours (or days) […]
Thankful thought no 2
Another thankful thought after the first one: I’m thankful that my grandmother is still a part of my life! She is 92 years old and was very ill last year. I went with her in the ambulance to the hospital when she broke her hip at home, and it was a stressful time. Now she […]
Altered book tutorial
It’s time for a tutorial on how to alter a vintage book and make it into your very own, personalized art journal! Altering books is easy and super fun, so let’s give it a try together. Most of my Art Journals have been altered books throughout the years. I use altered books for several reasons, […]
Pure Yumminess
I write This is soooo yummy! a lot when I comment on other peoples blogs. I think the word yummy is such a perfect one, a yummy word if I may say so. Yummy helps to describe things that are delightful and/or delicious; so good you want to eat it or rather extremely delicious to […]
Embroidered Inchies Cut to Size
The first batch of embroidered inchies was light pink and a slow process. This second batch of pink inches is now complete. I finished these much quicker mostly because I didn’t feel like sewing more french knots. I was feeling like: – Gaah, I want to finish this now! So I did. When they were […]
The Forensic Report Mini book
I have been thinking about self portraits and how to document me and my life the last month or so. I guess it’s because my 35th birthday is coming up next month (and this blog will be 7 years in the making, believe it or not), plus there is a lot of focus around self […]
Thankful thought
It’s been the iciest winter I’ve ever experienced. I don’t mind the snow, the cold, not even the darkness so much – but when the streets are covered in ice it is really difficult to walk anywhere, especially for old folks. Some days it feels risky just to step outside. Plus, I miss my bike […]
