What would happen if you used one piece of paper, cut into roughly the same size, on seven different collages, as a starting point? I set this as a challenge for myself, just for fun. For me, I cut seven strips of pink flower power paper, and glued each one down along the edge on […]

Frog Collages – A Series of Collages Started
I love collages and adore frogs… So why should I not combine it all into frog collages? While everyone else is still doing birds, I’m doing amphibians (!), hoping to find art lovers as in love with frogs as I am. In my stash of papers I found a print of a frog, altered digitally […]
Experimenting with Index Card Art
In the beginning of June I shared that I was joining the summer challenge index-card-a-day, an Index Card Art Project open to everyone, and since then I have (almost) daily posted a painted index card to my instagram account and to my Facebook page Studio iHanna. Yay me, right? Today I’m sharing my thoughts about […]
Creating a Series of Postcards

365 Collages | Week 41 | The Invisible Series
I wasn’t planning to work on a series this week, even though I’ve been thinking about this idea of using the same image over and over (again) for a while. Then I found a few prints of the same vintage photo in one of my paper folders – and seven collages came together in no […]

Faith and doubt are both needed – not as antagonists but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve. Lilian Smith Going Home Alone I’ve been in a total Glue Flow this week! I’ve been experimenting quite a bit too, I guess it’s time to open up the wings a bit wider […]
365 Collages | Week 6 | Valentine Edition
I love this project! Yes, I really do ♥ the 365 somethings project! How about you? All my collages this week are Valentine inspired hearts, because, why not? Playful experimenting have been happening around here, influenced of course by Valentine month (week & Valentine’s day). Each heart is glued to my prefered watercolour substrate size […]

A few of my embroidered artist trading cards. The magic trees couldn’t grow without some magic sun. To be sure we’d never run out, I made three suns. Related PostsAlways try New Things Eye Candy: Newborn Wool Book review of Mending Matters by Rodabaugh
