A Personal Abecedarium of iHanna – part 2
It doesn’t really matter what you make, it matters what you are thinking. And how one thought changes another. And noticing that. And making a whole out of it. A Oneness again. Jude Hill My personal abecedarium (or abecedary) continues [from A to K here] – all about me, iHanna. Typically, abecedaries are an explanation […]
A Postcard from Venice
If you follow me on instagram or flickr you might have noticed that this week I spent a few days in Venice, Italy. And it was beyond word marvelous! It’s been a few years since I was abroad last on a “real trip” like this, and I have longed to go somewhere, anywhere for quite […]
Bright Yellow Fruit Salad
I like yellow. Not mellow yellow, but the bright sunshiny kind. It’s irresistible! Like fruit salad. Also irresistible. Plus, easy to make. Just chop any fruit up, mix together in a bowl and eat. Summer desert, or winter thrill. And yellow fruit salads are extra yummy, don’t you think? Related PostsChristmas coming up… Weekly Link […]
Arting in the Art Journal
When you work in book format, like an Art Journal, or any notebook, each page is a creation on its own. You can tear it out and frame it if you want to, but the point of it is not to display it. The point of it all, is the act of making it. Sometimes […]
Knitted Neon Socks
I am in love with neon colors, so when I spotted some neon yarn I bought it. This sock yarn has all of the neon colors: pink, orange, cerise, yellow & green – in the same ball of yarn. I started knitting a pair of socks for myself in May, finished them this summer and […]
Dear Photo Diary | the details of daily life
The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. William Morris There are so much beauty everywhere.

Hello Acrylics, Hello painted grid
Hello Acrylics, welcome out to play. I wish we could have a rendez vous every day you and me, but alas, it’s not happening. Actually it’s happening way too seldom these days. I know where you are and I should make time, but then it doesn’t happen. A week after thinking I should make time […]
A Personal Abecedarium of iHanna
I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance. Bell Hooks An abecedarium (or abecedary) is an inscription consisting of the letters of an alphabet, almost always listed in order. Typically, abecedaria (or abecedaries) are an explanation of something in a way […]
Wool Owl Parade
In the beginning of this year I talked about the firstborn owl, and now it’s autumn again and the rest of the gang feel safe to come out of the forest to show of their gray wool feathers… They’re all made out of felted sweaters, knitted in thick gray wool once upon a time. Hand […]
Collage: Blue Dragonflies
I don’t wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work. Pearl S. Buck Hello Thursday and hello dear series of dragonfly collages (continuing from this collage). And hi there blues! Yes, that’s right. Blue! Blue as in blue colors, not the […]
Book of Patterns
The desire to do something because you find it deeply satisfying and personally challenging inspires the highest levels of creativity, whether it’s in the arts, sciences, or business. Teresa Amabile One of the themes in my current Art Journals are patterns. The past two years I’ve, without consciously thinking about it, created a lot of […]
