Every 8th of March it’s International Women’s Day. It’s one of my favorite days, because it reminds me how far we’ve come – and that we still have a long way to go… To commemorate this important day, all collages in this batch feature women writers from Sweden. I hope you have a super lovely […]

Heart Collage Free Desktop Background
Sorry I have been MIA for almost two weeks. It’s because I got the flue. To make up for it I compiled a Colorful and Free Desktop Background, to spruce up your desktop background on the computer! Yay! Every day you live is a day for dreaming. Every day is a day for adventuring. And […]
365 Collages | Week 3 | Butterfly Collage
I made seven random collages, and the theme didn’t show itself until I was almost done. But that’s okay too for me. You don’t need to know the end result to start, right? I don’t even think each week needs to be assigned a specific theme. I like random, as you might know. I like […]
Traveler’s Notebook | A look at my Randomosity vol
Let’s take a look at my first Randomosity notebook together. This is volume one of Travler’s Notebooks (in the series presented in my last post), today brought to you in video form (find the entire flip through below) and some photos from back when I made it. I hope you find it inspiring, and encouraging. […]
How to make your Art Journal Page Bloom
I think the most important ingredient to make your art journal page bloom, is to use yourself as fodder in them. Without you (even if you don’t think you’re in bloom yourself yet), they will be lifeless copies of what someone else have done before you. To truly make your Art Journal pages stand out […]
Update: Index Card Collages
I’m making Index Card Collages this summer. What are you making? Today it’s time for a index-card-a-day (ICAD) Update. We’ve already passed the middle of June 2017, and summer if flying by. Time to catch up. For each day this summer I’m filling a pink index card with a little colorful collage. This year I’m […]
Pen pals, Postcards and my Messy Desk
As a kid I had many pen pals. I wrote hundreds of letters up until around the age of 20 I think, but then I lost contact with most of my pen pals and my bestie moved closer to me. E-mail became available (and I remember how extremely exiting that was – a new form […]
DIY Happy Collage Postcard with a kitchy twist
I’ve started making happy collage postcards for the DIY Postcard Swap that I host. I opened it up so that you can join last week, and a lot of people have already signed up. A lot! It is thrilling to see so many returning participants each year,especially since making 10 postcards on a deadline can […]
Before you Start, create a Warm Up Collage
If you’re feeling stale and uninspired, in body or soul, you need to start with some warm up exercises, to get you going. I think this is one of the stumbling blocks when making art (or trying to restart it as a practice), that we expect to be creating something awesome directly when we sit […]
Postcard Collage Video 2: The Colorful Postcard
When I make collage postcards I choose paper scraps that I really like a lot, and try to make a pleasing and happy composition. A lot of it is hard to explain, as it happens intuitively. But the first step is to pick out a few fun papers from my big stash. For this postcard […]
Collage Carnival – cut and paste your way to Creat
I love new, pretty books and I’ve written quite a lot of book reviews over the years, but I have never done a video book review before… So this is a first for me, making a video about a book that I’m really excited about. But this is such a visual feast, I just had […]
