Another quick glossy collage in my art journal, contradicting the “art” part but very much feeling like “a journal”. Like a home of random things, of my ephemera. Again, a thousand circles living on one spread: polka dot wrapping paper and recycled office/meeting doodles! Each page includes so many different elements and ideas. If you’re […]

Postal Flow
Something really strange happened in my post box this week. I got several “lost packages” all at once without explanation. I so wonder where they have been all this time?! The above magazine (and some stickers, vintage rub-on letter sheets & pretty papers) was sent from Belgium by Sophie, and I love everything! Well, who […]
Right now I enjoy
I experience the passage of time and the particulars of my surroundings with my physical being–with my body and mind – and the act of making things that reflect my thoughts and feelings is a way of bouncing something back. I am here. I am not just absorbing. I am contributing. This is a dialogue. […]
Swedish Embroidery Magazine | Note from the Editor...
This is the summer issue of the Swedish Embroidery Magazine. It is the second issue that I’m involved in making and it shows a bit of iHanna style this time. Just look at that cover! I love the theme, which is The Creative Process, a theme that I feel very close to. I wrote an […]
The Therapy of Magazine Cutting
Are you aware of the therapeutic value of cutting out magazine images? I know some of you already do this regularly. Saving images to a personal imagery archive of clippings (to be used in future diary pages, collages or art journaling) is very calming and always cheers me up. Recently I have “swiped through” and […]
New eyes on Magazine Layout
Thanks for all your kind comments on my last post about my Blurb book with A Years worth of Photos! Your great comments made my day! Also, I got a few questions that I plan to answer as soon as I can in a Question & Answers post. If you want to know anything about […]
Broderiakademin | Sweden’s Embroidery Guild
Last year there was an embroidery exhibition in town, and when visiting it I found out Sweden has an Embroidery Guild open to everyone, called Broderiakademi! How amazing is that? I had no idea groups like this excised. Where I live there is even a local group meeting every month! When I joined I was […]
Magazines, social bookmarking and videos
Any good interior design magazine (or any magazine about creativity, art or craft for that matter) should check out the online blog scene, don’t you think so? The blog word, also called indie community, is huge and full of inspiration. Last week I got my favorite mag in the mail, it’s IKEA Family Live Magazine! […]
Depressed or tired – cut out and glue pretty image
I found this little lady (magazine clipping) in one of the mags from my grandmother. Isn’t it cute? It’s a little advice sent in by someone named Dagmar, and the text says: When I’m tired or feel down I cut out beautiful images from magazines that I save and glue on loose papers. In this […]
Round Skirt
I have so many fabrics that are too beautiful (and too big) to just lay folded in my wardrobe. I thought that this spring/summer I would make some skirts for me out of some of this fabric. But it’s been slow, really slow. At least I haven’t bought any new fabric at all this year. […]
Studio Friday | Inspiration indulgence
Today the subject of Tine Sparkle’s Studio Friday theme is Studio indulgences. First I thought of materials then of candy. But I’ve written a lot about my materials and tool, and I don’t eat candy when I create. I don’t it much candy at all. So I thought I’d share some of my off line […]
Button bag made by mom
My mom made me this little beautiful thing: I made this my mother who is visiting this weekend: Face magazine cover – just a mock-up virtual image, but fun to think up. You can make a cover yourself, just go to the Flickr Magazine page! Related PostsHow to make a Paper Patchwork Notebook Cover Handmade […]
