She is happy about spring
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way. /Pablo Neruda Smilla is so very appreciative that spring is here! Photo taken with my smart phone. Continuing from my last post of blog inspiration here […]
Everything is a Diary
I came up with my own proverb that I wrote down in my Art Journal to remember it (on the left page in the journal spread, written in Swedish). It says; It’s better to have one crochet project in your hand than 10 unused balls of yarn in the yarn basket on the floor… :-) […]
Art Journal before & after bunny
We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Pema Chödrön Since I got so many great comments on my last art journal post (about almost “finished” pages) I thought I’d share […]
Feeling bodacious + giveaway
Do you want to know a secret? I wrote my last post on authenticity a few weeks ago, and since then I have hesitated on posting it quite a bit! I was even considering deleting it, because it doesn’t really fit this blog’s theme or the feel I want to convey. But as many bloggers […]
Authenticity in a messy life
I’ve been thinking about authenticity lately. Authenticity as in what is going on in my real life versus what I show on this blog (right now everything is a mess). How truthful to what is really going on in your life is your blog? Sometimes as bloggers we pick the photos where our home looks […]
Embroidered ball / Singlad boll
My embroidered ball is finished, and I am very proud. It took quite a while to cover the whole surface with stitches but I looove how it came out! My embroidery group have been learning to make these and everyone has been fascinated by it. Most of da ladies have done three or more balls […]
Watercolour flowers + blog inspiration
Another square collage 13×13 centimeters (5×5″) above. This is a water colour painting that has some collage bits too, just because I love those little papers. I was experimenting with this one and I think it turned out just the way I feel about spring: bright and happy. It can be found in my Etsy […]
Gwacka gwacka!
The mister goes Gwacka!, original collage by iHanna, May 2011. Available now. Sold! There are so many things I want to write about, blog and images to edit, that I fear my head will explode. Maybe I aim too high, I know that is when I feel I can’t get anything done. It’s just too […]
Masking Fluid for Watercolours
If you paint with watercolours you should try using a masking fluid sometimes. I just did, and it’s a lot of fun. A new thing to play with, yay! I got this one from Schminke, for my birthday (thanks mom!). You cover the part of the paper that you want white. When the masking fluid […]
How to find Found Faces + bookreview
Do you ever notice unexpected faces in your surrounding? If not, you will after reading this super cute photography book called Found Faces. I really love this book! It’s filled to the brim with faces that jumps at you (in a friendly way!), or sometimes slowly emerges as you find eyes and then maybe… is […]
Poetic words and a Wire Flower
“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.” Beautiful words that I found via FB, together with this quote: Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: […]
