Index Card Art | Layers and dots
The first week of ICAD/June is done, and I have seven freshly baked index cards to show for it. On the back of each one I do my daily journaling blurb, a little note about what I’ve done or thought about. But on the front, I’ve painted or done a playful little collage this week. […]
Creating a new Traveler’s Notebook Art J
I am all over the place with Art Journaling. Or not at all, I’m not sure. I am not really working consistently in the different books I have going at the moment, so I should concentrate on just one or two I guess… Maybe I need to finish those ongoing art journals or simply be […]

I think it’s about developing a system to create. Once the creative habit is there, the possibilities are endless. Crystal Moody I have always been a voracious reader, devouring books like candy.

365 Collages | Week 39 | Forget Me Not
Being solitary is being alone well: being alone luxuriously immersed in doings of your own choice, aware of the fullness of your own presence rather than of the absence of others. Because solitude is an achievement. Alice Koller Kittens for Breakfast, collage by iHanna. Seven new ones for my 365 project, and they’re posted just […]
Playful Index Card Collages by iHanna | ...
Like I mentioned a in the beginning of last month in June and July there is an art challenge going on that is called ICAD – Index-Card-a-Day. It’s low key and fun, and I’m making collages with stickers, cute images, washi tape, words, labels and this and that found in a little box of treassures […]
365 Collages | Week 15 | Made in China
These collages are not “Made in China” of course, they are made by me here in Sweden. But they’re inspired by Chinese writings and graffiti on the wall. I hope you enjoy! Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace. I think great things can […]
365 Collages | Week 10 | Roses for You
You have to care about your work but not about the result. You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are. Amy Poehler Roses for the Girls, a collage by iHanna. I did a collage exercise once where you used bits […]
