Always bring a camera and a notebook with you when you travel, whether it’s in your own city – or to far away places. Document what you see and experience to remember it all but also to continue your adventure once you’r back home. Let’s explore the world!
Travel Journal Cover Story
Sure, you want to travel some day. When you have vacation time, or when you’re older. Well, what are you waiting for? Find a way to take a trip, if not this month, then sometime soon. You may need to sell your car or stop your cable bill and stop eating out to do it, […]
Pretzel Sighting
I was on my way to a friend when I walked by this an few houses. When I notice that it has this nice pink hue I stop, take up my camera and snap a photo. Later I play with the photo in Photoshop; adding a blue sky and some white fluffy clouds, removing a […]
Keeping a Travel Journal
Well, how to keep a Travel Journal? I want to talk a bit about my first experience of having a Travel Journal, and how you could use it on a trip. Or rather, how I used mine on my trip. Maybe you will get some ideas for your next travel adventure. A Travel Journal for […]
Sewing paper – a Travel Journal is evolving
After all that Travel Journal Inspiration in my earlier post I have been sewing happily away in all kind of papers! The sewing machine can take it, but the needle will need to be replaced after a while (though not yet!). I’m making spreads, adding illustrations, sewing, folding and having a blast over here! Sewing […]
Planning a Travel Journal
While others are twittering away Christmas tutorials and doing December Crafts, I’m planning a trip to the sun. And with that I’m going to create my very first Travel Journal – can’t really decide what I’m most excited about. The going away or the journaling and documenting the going away… When visiting the library I […]
iHanna’s Guide to Stockholm – flea markets, crafts
Hi, I’m not an expert but… …I have my favorite places in Stockholm, Sweden (I was born just outside the beautiful capital of Scandinavia)! …I’ve been asked so many times (and recently twice by e-mail) about my Do Not Miss This When You’re in Stockholm List by flea market hunters, artists and crafters who visit […]
A day in a market stall
I make notebooks for myself, to sell, and to give to friends. This is what happens when I’m in the making-mood: Spiral bound blank notebooks made from recycled vintage book covers! At the market we attended this summer at Sollern in Dalarna I put up some of my old notebooks. It’s about two years ago […]
C’et la vie
I wanted to post a picture of the most unusual (for me) place that I’ve made art. Now I’ve found the picture! It’s me working in my art journal in a open air salon just outside our bed room inside the tent. I sat there listening to the wind whispering in the trees that were […]
Wall Paper Collages (from 1879)
A whole lot of vintage wall paper collage photos in a mumble-jumble together in many layers, as I found them on a wall and captured it with my camera. Enjoy. This cottage is for sale, and could be mine – if I had the money for it plus a piece of land that we could […]
Utflykt
Utflykt is the Swedish word for outing or day trip. It’s the thing to do in the summer, with friends and loved ones. We had coffee and cinnamon buns, sunshine and a great time. I took lots of photos, of course. Related PostsCinnamon, roses & lingonberries My First Autumn Mandala Acorn & friends living a […]
Brocante
Brocante is French for flea market. Have you ever visited one? I’m back in Sweden and hey, it’s Tuesday! So here is a self portrait of me from this summer in France: I took it at a brocante in Ardeche, France. Brocante is French for flea market, and it’s a new word for me. But […]
