Fabric, Watercolours and Embroidery
Human beings… have an inherent tendency to seek out novelty & challenges, to extend and exercise their capabilities, to explore, and to learn. Daniel Pink ATC “Gotland”, a keeper. I made this on the boat to the island Gotland this spring. The first line of waves (top) is confident and rhythmic, but the second line […]
Pink Embroidered Inchies
When you try to completely fill just one inch (2,54 centimeters) with embroidery stitches, you realize how time consuming embroidery really is. But don’t let that stop you. It is also meditative, reflective and time spent well. We are swapping inchies in my embroidery group, Embroidered Inchies. Inchies is a very small form of art […]

Fly photo of an Inner Landscape I, mixed media fabric art by iHanna. I have already posted the green Fly photo III and the pink Fly photo II and as we are counting backwards this is number one in this triptych series. I sold the green one at the exhibition but this one, Fly photo […]
Fly photo over a Inner Landscape II
As promised here is the second mixed media embroidery. The first one was very green if you remember. This one is very pink. I call it Fly photo over a Inner Landscape II… It has paper, plastic netting, acrylic paints, fabric, lace and all kinds of stuff in it, but most of all tiny stitches. […]

Everyone brought little packages to the exchange Summer Embroidery Project in May, which gave us the whole summer to create something… The theme we are […]
Ordinary Sparkling Moments to Snap
I’m making tabs for my diary. Some photos from everyday life. The Diptych Project has inspired me to take more photos, and I’m finding I really enjoy the simple and just-as-it-is right now quality of life. I drew these illustrations of animals 16 years ago when my brother was born, to hang on the wall […]
Freeform Embroidery that Glitters
After I wrote the Wow factor post about what inspires me in others art I thought I’d do a free form embroidery. One where I could try some of the things I like; words and swirls (lots of shapes and patterns in the same piece that work together), bright colors (happy colors), texture and some […]
The never ending to do-list of crafts
