Greenery in an altered book or “How to start a themed glue book”, where my theme just happens to be “greenery”, i.e. indoor plants in flower pots. I picked my theme because I am very inspired by looking at potted plants and the idea of “urban jungles” created indoors. One of my longest lasting Pinterest […]

Random Magazine Images Glue Book Process
I recently started a new glue book with a theme of colorful images, or rather, no theme at all… It’s just going to be filled with colorful images. The kind of images that was making my day a bit brighter during winter and always do. I crave colors! We still have snow on the ground […]
How to Alter a Book and make it into an Art Journa...
Today I want to share my knowledge of how to use text books as journals, so I made a video all about altered books in general, how I use mine, and how you can find a good book to alter, so that you can use it as an Art Journal, Glue Book or any other […]
Art Journal Peek: This book is for you Hanna
The most worthwhile achievements are the result of many little things done in a single direction. Nido Qubein I think that this might be one of my all-time favorite Art Journals, it’s the altered book called Boken till dig (the book for you). When I started it I gave my self permission to add in […]
Art Journal Peek: In the name of Self-Love
Art journaling in an altered book. And my theme is me, me, and I, Hanna. If I had a daughter I might have dedicated it to her, but probably not. Even with kids my life would probably be ego-inducing and self-centered. It’s a known fact that we are all the center of our own lives, […]

![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 […]
A Book just for You my Darling
Happy Leap Day! My new art journal is an altered book again. This one is a little smaller than my previous very big and chunky Cut and Paste Journal. I thrifted this book a few years ago, and until now it has just been sitting in my stash of books to cut up or use […]
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 […]
Thrifted Books to Cut Up
Sorry to say that my site was down a couple of hours before I could ask support to fix it, due to a server move. I got contacted by a few of you saying you couldn’t reach this or that, but now I think it is alright again. I hope that everything is working as […]
An Invitation back into the Art Journal
I love Art Journaling a lot. In previous years I’ve kept one big Art Journal that has housed all my art and experiments. But for a couple of years now I’ve let the journal expand into several different kinds of books at the same time, thus destroying the lovely chronology I had going, but also […]
Painted circles ad infinitum
I have painted circles, because I love circles. Love them! Well, I do love polka dots, spheres, and most any roundish pattern I find (or make), as you might know. And painted circles can be done in a couple of thousand different ways. There is no end to a circle, and I don’t imagine there […]
Art Journal Peek | Winter is Coming
The title Winter is coming is well known if you too are hooked on TV series that never end. It might be misleading here, but I’m staying indoors a lot watching GoT as my brother calls it and doing embroidery. Misleading perhaps, but at least it’s very cold around here, and white. Winter is already […]
