Art journaling in an altered book. And my theme is me, me, and I, Hanna. If I had a daughter I might have dedicated it to her, but probably not. Even with kids my life would probably be ego-inducing and self-centered. It’s a known fact that we are all the center of our own lives, […]

ART JOURNALING is one of my favorite things to do. I fill my volumes with collage, paint, writing, ideas and experiments.
Getting the Vintage Look
We see it in Art Journaling, notebooks, art and sometimes even on Bullet Journal spreads… It is the look of something newly created that looks one hundred years old or more. It is the Vintage Look of old ephemera, brown paper, yellowed book pages, old hand-drawn illustrations, black-and-white photography and all that jazz. If you […]

Art journaling in a stressful world. Tune in yourself, tune out the world. It sounds lovely, doesn’t it? But I can’t always do it. I recommend it to anyone who can do it, but it’s not always easy. It’s hard sometimes to do any kind of art. The world gets in the way, or your […]

Back in March of this year I started playing a game that is called Animal Crossing: New Leaf on a Nintendo 3DS console that is owned by my brother. My brother is over that game since many years, because it came out in 2013. But to me it’s all news in many ways, since I […]

![Very Chunky Altered Book [a video flip-through]](https://www.ihanna.nu/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/cutandpaste_cover.jpg)
I altered a book so that it is no longer a book about ancient Egypt but instead a book of iHanna’s cut and paste adventures and inspirations! I named it Cut and Paste and I love the cover and all of the pages of it, well… most of them. Today I’m taking you guys along […]
Painting outside the lines | process video
Painting outside the lines is (to me) more fun than being confined by rules and boxes. I once wrote a blog post on Coloring Books for Grown Ups asking if we really need them… But not matter your opinion about coloring books and coloring pages, I think it’s always interesting to find new ways to […]

I painted the last page of one of my Art Journals back in January 2019, and had forgot I had filmed that painting session. But now I’ve edited into a little video, so that you can follow along as the last page is filled first with watercolor, then acrylics and mark making. Related PostsMy Diary […]
Journal with me: Documenting the Pandemic
I don’t think your journal should only be cute stickers and happy times. It should be as real as you can make it, and that includes darker days as well as fun events, right? Right now it includes documenting and remembering the horrific pandemic we’re in this year, and all the loss the world has […]
Journal with me: Metallic Watercolor Swatching
Come, let’s journal about all the nice things I got for my birthday! On my birthday, back in April, I got a few pens and some money to buy art supplies for. I decided to invest in my first “set” of metallic watercolors in loose pans, from the brand Coliro Pearlcolors. I got pink and […]
