If you have the time, feel free to watch the Christmas journaling videos x 3 – below and let me know if you enjoy them. Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we dont quite know how to put […]

ART JOURNALING is one of my favorite things to do. I fill my volumes with collage, paint, writing, ideas and experiments.
Making a Christmas Junk Journal for myself
How do you put a Christmas junk journal together? How do you decide what cover to use and what papers to include as pages? Here are some of my thought process about just that. It’s not a tutorial, but hopefully you’ll find the video inspiring. Last year I wanted to do a series on YouTube […]
Shop for Christmas Junk Journals
December is getting near, and in December I usually do some journaling in a Traveler’s Notebook December Daily / Christmas Journaling type of thing. I have listed a couple of the same type of junk journals I make for myself in the shop, and they are delightful! If you haven’t picked out a journal to […]

Calming Scalloped Pattern | Paint along with me!

All-over-Collage – process in Summer Junk Journal
Something I like to do every now and then in my Art Journals, and more often in altered books, is to create an “all-over collage” type of page.

To paint is to love again
Today some views from my Hahnemόhle Watercolor Sketchbook. To me it’s an Art Journal, but with watercolor papers that I like to fill with doodles in watercolor. One of my favorite activites. To paint is to love again. Its only when we look with eyes of love that we see as the painter sees. His […]
I love the word Doodle more than Drawing
I love the word “doodle” because it is so open-ended and non-judgmental to me. It is an activity that has no agenda of being accurate, perfect, life-like or even close to rendering reality. Instead “to doodle” is (to me) to relax and let what ever comes up in your mind come out on the page. […]
Video | Summer in my Art Journal
Summer journaling is no different than any other kind of journaling you do, except, it happens in summer. In my case, mostly outside on the balcony or at least with the balcony door wide open while I fill my one and only Summer Journal. I don’t have a style or plan when I open up […]

Summer Crush: Hello Kitty – my old friend
The summer journal that I made for myself is going strong. My ambition was to work in it every day, but so far I have been doing “a little something” every second or third day through the summer. In June I filled about the first signature with mostly doodles, collage bits that tell the story […]
