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 […]

ART JOURNALING is one of my favorite things to do. I fill my volumes with collage, paint, writing, ideas and experiments.
Very Chunky Altered Book [a video flip-through]
![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 […]
Watercolor Art Journal flip-through
In a previous blog post I shared how I painted the last page of a handmade Art Journal of mine, and now I am sharing the flip-through video of that journal below. Enjoy! Filled Art Journals are like treasures, aren’t they? Each page you open up to are kind of a surprise because you don’t really remember […]
Junk Journal September | Hello, I’m iHanna
Hello September, my old friend, it’s time we meet again… Well, that is to say I’m doing a month long challenge on Instagram called “junk journal + month name”, so Junk Journal September right now. It’s a word or sentence each day for thirty days, something to inspire you to be creative in a junk […]

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 PostsCha cha […]
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 […]
Journal with me: Using Scrap die-cuts (finally)
It is finally time to start using the Scrap Die-cut images whose origin and uses I talk about in my blog post Collectable vintage Scrap die-cuts / German Glanzebilder. In that article (and video) I show a lot of fun examples, and in today’s video, I’m finally going to glue some of them down on […]
Junk Journal: Room for the soul [Video Process]
![Junk Journal: Room for the soul [Video Process]](https://www.ihanna.nu/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/neonstars.jpg)
Another junk journaling video from me. But… I think it was a bad idea to dedicate one journal for filming every spread of in. It’s totally not the way to fall in love with a journal for me. How to fall in love with a journal is to live with it intensely, to work on […]

Art Journal Peek | A Tiny Book of Cut and Paste
I love love love making tiny books. You just fold a couple of papers together, and then you have something to keep working with/in/on. This tiny book of cut and paste is one of the many mini art journals that I have made through the years. It is perfect for summer, if you’re going somewhere […]
