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 […]

A quick peek into iHanna’s art journal.
All-over-Collage – process in Summer Junk Journal
Something I like to do every now and then in my Art Journals, and more often in altered books, is to create an “all-over collage” type of page. A collage of colours mostly, of magazine backgrounds and maybe patterned papers that fills the entire page from top to bottom or like today, from right to […]
Summer Crush: Hello Kitty – my old friend
The summer journal that I made for myself is going strong. My ambition was to work in it every day, but so far I have been doing “a little something” every second or third day through the summer. In June I filled about the first signature with mostly doodles, collage bits that tell the story […]
My Summer Art Journal with Embroidered Cover
This weekend I shared how I stitched and composed the textile cover of this journal, but today already, let’s look at some of the pages inside this Art Journal [with a video flip-through of the finished book] that I made for myself to use as a “summer journal” – started June 2021 and will continue […]
Fill a tiny journal last prompt: Polka Dots
I am a sucker for polka dots as a decorative pattern. I just love how they look on all things and clothes, on my table as well as onart journal pages and collages I make – or even as embroidery. In our project Fill a tiny journal project this spring it is the last prompt […]
Fill a tiny journal: Spring
That is one good thing about this world… There are always sure to be more springs. L.M. Montgomery Our fifth journal prompt of our spring challenge Fill a tiny journal is the word “spring”. This beautiful season that we’re in right now – at least on this side of the earth. I was busy last […]
Fill a tiny journal: Dreams
I think that it is interesting how much thought I have given to the words of our prompts for the Fill a tiny journal project, philosophically speaking. Or rather, over-thinking it. I didn’t feel to well last week so I didn’t post on Friday when the prompt was “dream” but here I am with the […]
Fill a tiny Journal: Friendship
Today’s prompt for our challenge Fill a tiny journal is “friendship”. The challenge is going strong over on instagram which is great – but Tammy and I are first of all bloggers so we’re stubbornly sharing on our blogs because that’s our home base of course. I think today’s experience tells me that it doesn’t […]
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]
![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 […]
