I have officially finished another Art Journal on my list (it was on my list of multiple art journals at the same time – from two years ago). Yes, sometimes it takes a long time to reach the end – that doesn’t mean you should give up (if you don’t want to of course). I […]

I made myself a New Art Journal
The truth is, most of us discover where we are heading when we arrive. Bill Watterson Before summer I bound myself another Art Journal with watercolor papers and a cloth cover. I wanted to make this last summer, but never got around to finishing one. But this year I was better prepared, and had worked […]
Let’s be creative
Let’s do something creative together! Get out a glue stick, some magazine images and your favorite notebook and let’s create a spread filled with colorful imagery and patterns, some stickers and washi tape details and maybe we’ll add a nice message or quote. Yes? Related PostsBookreview | The Collage Workbook by Randel Plowman Flower Border […]
Working in my Christmas Journal | Journal with me
If you have the time, feel free to watch the Christmas journaling videos x 3 – below and let me know if you enjoy them. Probably the reason we all go so haywire at Christmas time with the endless unrestrained and often silly buying of gifts is that we don’t quite know how to put […]
Flip-through of Summer Junk Journal
Hi, this is the next to last episode of the Summer Junk Journal video series in which I have filled the pages of a hand-made by me Junk Journal. Where I have talked, painted (watercolors and acrylics), collaged and shared inspiration. As a last installment I wanted to share an entire flip-through with you guys, […]

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 […]
Very Chunky Altered Book [a video flip-through]
![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 […]
Working in multiple Art Journal volumes
Are you working in many Art Journals at the same time? Maybe too many to keep track of? I know the feeling. When I started with art journaling many years ago, I always worked in just one, big Art Journal at a time – from start to finish. It helped keep me focused and it […]
Introducing the blank Kikki.K 365 Journal
I have always doubted my ability to do anything daily, and it’s not because I have low self-esteem (which I often have) but because I know myself too well to even try it… That said, I also knew when this year started that I wanted a kick in the butt when it comes to painting […]
