Hello and welcome to my beautiful Patchwork Garden, made out of paper and glue of course. Each patch is decorated to delight all the senses… Garden Patchwork 1, a collage by iHanna a.k.a.

I like to visit flower gardens and snap photos, but my favorite is my parent’s beautiful little garden.
Eye Candy | Flower Power
I believe in flower power – the power of nature in garden form. There is so much beauty outdoors right now that I find it hard to sit down by the computer to write a blog post or two, even though I as usual have a lot I really want to communicate and share with […]
Eye Candy | 50 Shades of Pink + desktop background
One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon – instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today. Dale Carnegie I was looking through some of the […]
Creating a Succulent Miniature Garden
Before the frost came I went out to my parents garden and snatched a few of the tiny succulent plants. I wanted to create my own version of a succulent miniature garden! I’ve been seeing all kinds of über cute potted succulents on pinterest and was inspired to bring some into my own home. Succulents […]
Art Journal Peek: Hey Mr Bluebird in the Garden
I tend to think I need all my supplies to create, and sometimes that keeps me at home even though I want to go elsewhere; to travel or just simply go outside for a while. In summer I love to create outside. I miss having a balcony a lot – but since I don’t have […]
Eye Candy: Garden Delights
The use of the term art medium is, to say the least, misleading, for it is the artist that creates a work of art not the medium. It is the artist in photography that gives form to content by a distillation of ideas, thought, experience, insight and understanding. Edward Steichen I feel lucky to have […]

A very cute thief
We feed the bird in their yellow little house, and this winter they are really needing some extra food because the snow have covered everything else for months. I like the snow, but I wouldn’t want to dig through it to find food. Neither does this cute fellow… He is really not welcome, because he […]
View through a dirty window
Summer in full bloom, everywhere. There is abundance and I try to notice it and embrace it. I take more photos in the summer. There are more looking closely at ordinary things happening. More little details of the whole. More documenting what surrounds me today, things that will be gone or changed or different tomorrow. […]
I go out and feel alright
I’ve got sunshine on my mind I go out and feel alright The rainy clouds are gone away And this is why I feel this way Strawberries in a bowl, fresh from the garden patch. Flowers growing so high I have to look up at them. Enjoying novels and lazy days by the sea. Being […]
The Giant Poppy
Greetings from a Giant Poppy. The latest addition to Dad’s garden is a Giant Poppy. He called me over when he had put it in the ground, to admire it with him. And I have to agree with him, it is magnificent and a real garden beauty. I think it just screams of natural magic […]
