Creativity Habit | Let’s do 365 somethings in 2022
I have decided to do another 365 collages in 2022. This will be my fourth year of doing a 365 somethings my own way, so I am feeling confident that once I commit to a project like this I can push through. I am so stubborn it just seam impossible for me to give up […]
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. A collage of colours mostly, of magazine backgrounds and maybe patterned papers that fills the entire page from top to bottom or like today, from right to […]
World Collage Day is in May
World Collage Day – An International Celebration of Collage. Hello world! I’ve been busy with the DIY Postcard Swap these past days (all address lists sent out, see further down for details), but late Saturday on dad’s birthday (9th of May) I discovered on instagram there is something called World Collage Day – and I […]
The Cut and Paste Journal
Art Journaling in altered coffee table books is one of my favorite things to do. I love that they present me with loads of space for painting, gluing and expressing myself. I have filled many of these volumes over the years – and latest in the row is this chunky, beautiful Art Journal. It is […]
Index Card | Last pile of the year
Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte The j-months of summer is over already, and it’s high time to wrap this project up.

Index Cards | Delicious ambiguity
Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity. Gilda Radner I’ve been playing on some Index cards (that is, filling them with colors). It’s a daily challenge […]

Sunshine like powdered gold
It was June, and the world smelled of roses. The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside. Maud Hart Lovelace Yay! I got a new stack of white lined Index Cards, and I’m still creating little vignettes on a card every (other) day or so… These are from the middle of June, so […]
Index Cards | Cut and paste and smash bang
I got to take a creative summer class last week, which was just lovely. There I got to experiment with clay and then painting for a bit, out of my comfort zone surrounded by people and with new materials. It was nice, but it made me so tired I didn’t manage to post any updates […]
Index Card Art | Layers and dots
The first week of ICAD/June is done, and I have seven freshly baked index cards to show for it. On the back of each one I do my daily journaling blurb, a little note about what I’ve done or thought about. But on the front, I’ve painted or done a playful little collage this week. […]
