iHanna's Blog

We’re in the beginning of September and the week number of the year is 37. Not sure you have week numbers in your calendar, but if you do you already know this. But on posting my collages for 365 collages in 2018, I’m on week 34. So if I could post just three more weeks this week, I’d be caught up. That isn’t really realistic, but at least I know what I am getting closer to getting caught up again.

But tomorrow we’ll take a break from collages for a VLOG – a.k.a. video log. I’m excited. I hope you’ll be too.

When I’m by myself, I can be myself, which is what I want to be. Not just a part of someone else. Jean Culligan

Yes, it’s true.

I will be sharing my very first vlog tomorrow (Yay!). It is something I’ve been wanting to do for many years, so I’ve collected video clips everywhere, without getting to the point where I share them. But now I’ve edited the first one!

So stay tuned, subscribe to posts via e-mail (although embedded video is often not visible via e-mail, but then all you need to do is click the header in the e-mail to come visit and see the embedded video material) or check your RSS Feed Reader for a new blog post tomorrow! Or just watch this space. Here’s seven new collages for now.

Happy Monday friends!

It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking… in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.

It is bugging me that this post and these collages are sooo late, but… here they are!

Don’t bug me lady, collage by iHanna.

I am just a little bit irritated with my 365 collages in 2018-project right now. Just as I was catching up about 2,5 weeks ago, I got sick again. One of those Rick Astley colds Never gonna giiive you up-kind that makes you forget what energy and life is all about for a while. Where did all of August go? It disappeared in a cough!

I got it just as I got home from a work trip to Birmingham, which you will have seen photos and video from if you follow me on Instagram, and after that nothing happening on the blog, at all.

I have been wanting to share the impressions from my trip (some photos and fun purchases), new journaling content etcetera etcetrera, but it took all my willpower to finish the magazine layout that I of course had a deadline on, while I was sick… So that’s why the blog took to a halt. Like it sometimes does. It just felt extra bitter because I was so very close to catching up with my 365 collages! But let’s not complain any more about that. I have made a new batch of beautiful art this week, and today I finally scanned, titled and uploaded the lot.

So let’s take a look, shall we?

Oh Bite Me Sucker, collage by iHanna.

Lots of little bugs this weeks, and passive aggressive titles because of being sick and wanting to do so much. :-)

Jumping to Conclusions – Collage no 211 by iHanna.

Collage number 211 to 217 of my 365 Collage Project. Romance again, a wee bit of my favorite colour pink – and a feeling of spring as autumn approaches. But this is what I was feeling right now, in this moment.

Bright, refreshed, ready for work and more of everything.

I hope you like the collages my dear.
