Using Nature’s Colors today. This is where the creativity happens! In the midst of chaos.
I really enjoy selecting a focus and choosing pretty things to photograph, but also, I enjoy documenting the mess on my table. And really, it’s more accurate and true to what is there most of the time. I wish more artists would show their real tabletops and not the polished ones with a stack of ordered notebooks on top… Also I enjoy the chaotic feeling of some of my collaged journal pages. Like the mess I did on this one:
I love how much there is to see! Take a closer look:
As you can see this page too is filled with the colours of nature and the autumn season. What are you filling your pages with? Remember, most importantly on all journal pages, it to add in the joy of play!
Take care!
Those pages are really fun! Lots to look at. I also like seeing pictures of messy desks. Mine is always a disaster!
Me too! I love your journal pages!!

These pages are abolutely gorgeous. You make me want to get to my worktable right now! Not that I can right now, but I sure would love to do some cutting and pasting for the fun of it. ;-)
[…] was so heartened by iHanna’s creative chaos – […]
Thanks for sharing the creative chaos – SO pleased to see that others work in that way too!
hello
I’m always happy and very interested in reading all your posts about art journaling. I did something about a fall journal you can see here!
your post today prompted me to take some photos of my mess, i tend to spread out around the house when creating, but everything comes back to my table to be sorted at some stage………well it had to be today as there was no room left on the table to work!
your colour combinations work so well on these pages.
Haha not fair…. I am neat…always. It’s true! :) I do love looking at your pages.
Hanna, one of the reasons you inspire me is that you aren’t afraid to let go. I have a hard time letting go and putting layers and layers of things and lots of detail, but I do like seeing that, so I don’t know what my problem is. However, I’m never afraid to take a photo of my messy table. Sometimes those nice, neat, orderly studio pictures just make me feel cold.
Beautiful chaos. I love it.
Oh, the bright colors!! Beautiful chaos, indeed! :)
Chaotic layers that all magically flow together into a gorgeous composition!
