Why a Whole Day of Silence is Bliss
I think spending time on my own is awesome, and a whole day of silence is bliss to me. When I read the article 23 Signs You’re Secretly an Introvert (even though it’s not a secret that I am a quite introverted) I found this reminder timely: One of the most fundamental characteristics of introverts […]

How to make a Photo Book for Week in the Life
I did Week in the Life last year for the first time, and each day a new folder on my computer filled up with a lot of new photos from that day. Once I start I don’t want to stop snapping! I love the process of documenting my life, but also love using those photos […]
365 Collages | Week 38
A self-respecting artist must not fold his hands on the pretext that he is not in the mood… Tchaikovsky Hidden from view After a week of Week in the Life-documentation with heavy photo posts I’m back with a collage-only-post. Art, yay right? But I’m not sure I personally like any of these collages. I don’t […]
Try Tissue Paper Collage
Who doesn’t love and adore tissue paper? It’s available in so many pretty, bright colors (and patterns!) that my collection is still growing. I use it all the time, and thought I’d share a quick and super fun idea to play with today. You start by cutting out strips of different coloured tissue paper, then […]
Video | What the World Needs is You
Today I’m sharing a quick text-based video that is actually a commercial for a book that I haven’t read or even seen in person. But the sweet message, that is all about how important you are, and the way it is presented visually in this clip, is such that I think you’ll be smiling after […]
Week in the Life | Sunday Creativity
I started the day by making myself a cup of coffee when I woke up. And last Sunday was the last day of the documentation project Week in the Life! I took that day to document some of my creative process at home. Some work by the computer, some at my art desk creating collages […]
Art Journal Peek | Neon Dots
There is so many things you can put down on a page in your art journal, you know. Endless ideas floating around. Sometimes it feels, really, like your brain is empty and you can’t come up with anything. But then there is always dots. You can paint dots on top of a colour, but you […]
Week in the Life | Saturday Thrifting
After the Crayfish Party Friday I slept over at my parents, and woke up to a real Saturday breakfast on the veranda. My cat Smilla lives with my parents, in their house with the freedom to go outside when ever she wants to. She is a happy cat, but of course I miss her a […]

365 Collages | Week 37
Freed from your Constraints I think you guys agree with me that yellowed book pages are beautiful, because last week’s vintage edition got lots of comment love. This week I’m continuing with the same theme, but adding in more colour again. I can not stay away from colour for long, even though most of them […]
