Yellow, orange and red mixed together into fire, wine and happiness… It’s the fall colours. I want to pick up every beautiful maple leaf I see and bring it with me home! The best way to save some of this prettiness that I know is to take photos. So I did. Related PostsSorting for Inspiration […]

Eye Candy: More Slow Art
Today’s post is filled with black and white shades. Quite a change to the pink and green items I normally dive into, but it’s all good! I find myself drawn to black and white (clothes and patterns) a lot lately, so it’s also a reflection of what I find beautiful right now. Also because I […]
Scraps by someone else
Paper scraps are the Art Journalers and collageists best friends. We need scraps to create! It’s the treassures in our life, right? Last week I shared the rainbow colored envelope that I recieved in a journal swap with Tammy. Now let’s just look at what was inside. Except for that List Journal there were little […]

Brocante
Brocante is French for flea market. Have you ever visited one? I’m back in Sweden and hey, it’s Tuesday! So here is a self portrait of me from this summer in France: I took it at a brocante in Ardeche, France. Brocante is French for flea market, and it’s a new word for me. But […]
Eye Candy | Good memories
More old stuff from the drawer since I’m still traveling and not updating with new stuff. This is a watercolour painting I made in Thailand, 2003. I just found it in a pile of photos from the trip. Here is a photo from that trip, taken in a little town in Viet Nam: Hoi An. […]
