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 […]

I am a collage artist because I was born that way. I want to cover the world in scraps of paper, pieces of ephemera, tissue paper and painted backgrounds…
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. I finished all my index cards this year, which feels great. They’re mostly colorful, playful collages with some paint splattered on here and […]
Index Cards | Delicious ambiguity
Some stories dont 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 whats 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 […]

Index Cards: Let the world see your creativity
Summer has filled her veins with light and her heart is washed with noon. C. Day Lewis In my last index card post I showed index cards from June 17 to 23, week 25 of the year. These are from week 26, the last week of June. I hope you like them. Let me know […]
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. […]
Creating a new Traveler’s Notebook Art Journal
I am all over the place with Art Journaling. Or not at all, I’m not sure. I am not really working consistently in the different books I have going at the moment, so I should concentrate on just one or two I guess… Maybe I need to finish those ongoing art journals or simply be […]
365 Collages | Week 52 | The End (for now)
Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. Greg Anderson Yes! I finished on time, before 2018 ended I had successfully made 365 art collages! Yes, it felt good, almost profound. Like the biggest win of the year, actually. Yes. I was making the […]
365 Collages | Week 51 | Incredibly valuable & tra
And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it […]
