Today some views from my Hahnemühle 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. It’s only when we look with eyes of love that we see as the painter sees. His […]

ART JOURNALING is one of my favorite things to do. I fill my volumes with collage, paint, writing, ideas and experiments.
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 […]
Junk Journals & Doodle Books | release 3
A big, yummy pile of journals has hit the shop again and I wanted to share all of them with you guys in the hope that maybe you’ll be inspired or even feel the urge to buy one. In any case, I am having so much fun doing these videos where I talk junk journals […]
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 […]
My Summer Art Journal with Embroidered Cover
This weekend I shared how I stitched and composed the textile cover of this journal, but today already, let’s look at some of the pages inside this Art Journal [with a video flip-through of the finished book] that I made for myself to use as a “summer journal” – started June 2021 and will continue […]
Fill a tiny journal last prompt: Polka Dots
I am a sucker for polka dots as a decorative pattern. I just love how they look on all things and clothes, on my table as well as on art journal pages and collages I make – or even as embroidery. In our project Fill a tiny journal project this spring it is the last prompt […]
Fill a tiny journal: Washi Tape Love
This post is all about our lov… obsession (!) with washi tape! Imagine a never ending sticker – on a roll, in all the world’s most beautiful patterns and colors? And it already exists, and it is called washi tape. I think most of us already call ourselves curators of an extensive collection of this […]
Fill a tiny journal: Colorful
Colorful to me, is an easy prompt. I can do almost anything and it would fit within the category of “colorful”, or flip to almost any of the pages in any given journal and it would be that; colorful. I love happy, bright colors so so very much! If ever there was a time that […]
Fill a tiny Journal: Make a List
If you want to add text but don’t know what to journal about then writing a list is always a good idea. I love list-writing so much I even have a blog category called I write Lists where you can find wish lists, link lists and more. I am a list-maker, but if you struggle […]
Fill a tiny journal: Spring
That is one good thing about this world… There are always sure to be more springs. L.M. Montgomery Our fifth journal prompt of our spring challenge Fill a tiny journal is the word “spring”. This beautiful season that we’re in right now – at least on this side of the earth. I was busy last […]
Fill a tiny journal: Dreams
I think that it is interesting how much thought I have given to the words of our prompts for the Fill a tiny journal project, philosophically speaking. Or rather, over-thinking it. I didn’t feel to well last week so I didn’t post on Friday when the prompt was “dream” but here I am with the […]
