I can not believe I have not made a wreath until this year! It’s high time to craft something when you’ve been thinking about it for years, don’t you agree? :-) Ta-daa! As I made this one I decided to document the process and create a tutorial. I hope you like it. A wreath (dörrkrans) […]

Art Journal Doodles: Confetti Lines & swirls
It’s been a while since I showed something from my Art Journal. The reason is that I haven’t used it much these past two months, because I’ve been so busy. I’ve done a few fun doodles in my diary but not much else. Except this spread, inspired by a prompt in Quinn’s book Raw Art […]
Summary of recent Inspiration

Doodles with a black pen
A whole page filled with fun doodles, in my Moleskine diary. This is what happens when I arm myself with just a black drawing pen (0.5 from Kuretake) and a blank page. Just start in the middle and doodle on. It’s been my favorite thing this entire summer. Related PostsFabric Notebook Cover – with lace […]
