I’ve been allowed to dream the silly dreams of a child once again. I dream of a House of My Own one day… Dream big, and I mean really really big. I dream about a white staircase that squeaks when I sneak up to my big studio. I dream about a rose garden where I […]

Green journal
I’ve contributed to the first traveling journal to ever come my way. It’s Lisa Vollrath’s Green journal! This is the spread I added before sending this journal on to Canada: It was fun, and I love that I can take photos of the things I make and send away, so that I remember them and […]
Alphabetica by Lynne Perrella
I’m reading Alphabetica – An A-Z Technique Guide For Collage & Book Artists by Lynne Perrella. I really enjoyed her first book (Artists’ Journals and Sketchbooks), it made me start a visual journal, doing collages wish lead me to the world of ATC and trading them, which lured me in to other mixed media adventures […]
The Mom Shop is open
Finally I have time to sit down and write a post about the realization of a since long due dream. A dream I’ve had for a couple of months now. It is becoming reality as you read this post! Finally it is here, a Internet shop of my own – and finally I have time […]
Cat Softies for Everyone
In the begining of the summer I made lots of small cats from a pattern I created – do you remember them? Here they are again, some of them still hanging out in my book shelf: Why are they still living with me? They want to explore the world! What are you waiting for? Don’t […]
Finishing projects
The weekend and today – that is all that is left of my very long summer holiday. I’m trying to finish up some projects that I’ve started during the course of the summer.

Remixing or destroying old clothes

Mixed media painting
This is a mixed media painting on a canvas that I made last week. I put all my paints on the living room floor and made it in steps. Started with my vellum pen, continued with Chinese papers and paint. Then I also tried a picture transfer with gel medium – and it worked. The […]
Two cats and lots of Skandinavian craft books
When I visited my mom and dad this summer mom and I got a lot of crafting done, with me leading the way. I’m in such hurry, feeling there is so much I want to make before the summer ends, before Christmas, in this coming year. I try not to stress her out, but I […]
What to bring to a paradise island
To create right now I need a lot of materials. For sewing I need thread, needle or sewing machine, fabric and most of the time stuffing (for softies and pillows) and buttons and other accessories. And for mixed media there is a whole range of materials and product that is needed. If I were to […]
Art Collage Cubes in wood
Hey, look what I came up with! Three collage art cubes that is now for sale on eBay! [edit: sold!] My first auction, I hope someone will want to play with these? All three cubes are hard wood, collaged with shabby chic rose paper, original vintage handwriting, maps, Chinese newspaper and vintage Swedish magazine. I’ve […]
There are so many paintings in my head
There are so many paintings in my head. When will I have enough work space to put them together? Where will I find the focus to make them? I don’t know really.
