I love the word “doodle” because it is so open-ended and non-judgmental to me. It is an activity that has no agenda of being accurate, perfect, life-like or even close to rendering reality. Instead “to doodle” is (to me) to relax and let what ever comes up in your mind come out on the page. […]

Create along with me: Doodle Cute Monsters
Get ready, grab your pencils, and let’s doodle some (not scary at all) monsters! They’re going to be very kawaii (cute in Japanese), and not scary at all, I promise. It’s our first lesson in the new series Create along with iHanna, I hope you like it. To “doodle along” is calming and fun to […]
Love Acrylic Paint Markers
I have started a new adventure this autumn, and it’s taking some of my mental space to digest everything about it. I won’t reveal what it is just yet, but if something comes of it I’ll let you guys know of course! And if I’m not here, know that I am elsewhere being creative. In […]
Creating in January | Time-lapse painting video
I captured all the 31 first pages of January on video, so that you can take part of the creative process (in a rather rushed time-lapse way)! I’m really excited to share it with you today. I have shared just a few of the time-lapse videos on my instagram, but now I’ve compiled them into […]
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 […]
Craft-a-Doodle Book Review
A few months back I got an advance copy of Jenny Doh’s new book Craft-a-Doodle, because I am one of the 18 contributing artists! I am happy to be a small part of this pretty book, because I really like it! So even though I am a bit biased*, I wanted to come back to […]

Journal it! 19 Perspectives in Creative Journaling
Book review time today again. Yay! I’ve been reading and enjoying Jenny Doh’s book Journal It! and thought you might like it too! It’s one of those books with techniques from many different artists, showing bits of their individual style. To me it’s like meeting old friends since I follow many of these art journalers […]
Mom’s Ballpoint Pen Mandala
My mom has a inspiration notebook, mostly for embroidery ideas. It’s where she write down quotes she wants to embroider and where she sketches out ideas sometimes. Recently she showed me these mandalas that she’d doodled and it made me all warm inside. Guess who, with all my talk, inspired her? To me it’s so […]
Mandala drawing #2: snowflakes
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snowflake… Francis Bacon These two looks like snowflakes in a way. Melting in my heart. I have lots of pens, but keeping my manadala […]
Peek into my art journal: a yellow flower
This page started as a big flower doodle, drawn with black ink on watercolour paper in my art journal. It sat like that for a while until I decided to make it a yellow flower. I like colouring my own doodles. I used watercolours, pitt pens, and some other pens (gel pen in white for […]
