365 Collages | Week 19 | Looking back & moving for
We just passed the “Summer Middle”, and with this post I’m sharing a few “leftovers” or let’s rather call them catch up collages from previous weeks. I’ve already shared week 17 (Being a Paper Squirrel) and week 18 (Ironic Midsummer Romance) this week so I guess the whole concept is confusing not only to me, […]
365 Collages | Week 18 | Ironic Midsummer Romance
Happy Midsummer from Sweden today! Fun but terrifying – collage by iHanna. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

365 Collages | Week 17 | Being a Paper Squirrel
I am definitely a Paper Squirrel, saving every little piece of paper I can. I squirrel away all the papers that I think have potential to be in a collage, some day. I think you have to be somewhat of a Paper Squirrel to be a collage artist. You need a good collection of different […]
How to make a Washi Tape Sampler
I have been collecting washi tape for a few years now, but I still remember the first couple of rolls I got and what an amazing invention I thought patterned tape was. It’s like stickers, but on a “never ending” roll. Recently I’ve finished two different rolls of tape, so they’re not infinite – but […]
365 Collages | Week 16 | English Garden Party
There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall. Colette Tea for two – collage no 107 by iHanna. Welcome to my English Garden Party! Don’t […]
365 Collages | Week 15 | Made in China
These collages are not “Made in China” of course, they are made by me here in Sweden. But they’re inspired by Chinese writings and graffiti on the wall. I hope you enjoy! Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can […]
365 Collages | Week 14 | Patchwork Garden Collages
Hello and welcome to my beautiful Patchwork Garden, made out of paper and glue of course. Each patch is decorated to delight all the senses… Garden Patchwork 1, a collage by iHanna a.k.a.

Summer Craft Idea: Play with Perler Beads (hama be...
Lovely June is here, and it’s time to do some summer crafting. The definition of summer craft is loosely: anything that feels light, airy, fun, colorful and can be done outdoors on the balcony or in the garden, at the summer house or maybe even in the car. Or simply anything you want to work […]
365 Collages | Week 13 | A spring that never dries...
Rejected, collage by iHanna. I thought of calling this blog post / theme Rejection, but that just feel too negative for my collage art post. The feel of making and looking at the collages are positive (to me, but when naming them I was feeling kind of… down? depleted? alone? So the lady on the […]
Creative Process Video for Index Card Collage – da
Index Cards is a office supply paper type that you can find at the paper or book store, close to notebooks and pens. It’s created for noting information like research, recipes or addresses, often stored alphabetically in a box for quick reference. In the time of smart phones, computers and online registers (GDTP be damned) […]
