Warm Ups | the tabbed index dividers series
Last in the row of posts about index cards this year, I’m sharing the few index dividers I made first, before the real action in June got going: the “starters”, the warm ups, the fearful first experiments – but maybe, ideas for something else too. A series of… paintings? Word prompts? A small collection of […]
61 Abstractions on Index Cards
The daily challenge of painting an abstract piece of art on an index card during June and July is over – and it’s time to celebrate this achievement! I’m late with my personal celebration, but there have been a lot of it going on around the internet these last few days. Nobody knows how many […]
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 […]
Getting into Creating on Index Cards Again
Index Cards are not the best substrate to create on, if you ask me. It’s not good for most wet media and the index card I bought yesterday are super flimsy and thin… But all that aside, I am joining the index-card-a-day challenge, ICAD, to create “something” on one index card each day for the […]

Hello June, new goals & index card creativity
It’s June, and what ever the weather I consider June to be summer. So, hello dear summer, you have been missing me for quite a while now (maybe since last summer ended). I’m glad you’re here. I plan to be outdoors as much as I can, but I also have another goal in June, and […]
Video | Doodling on an Index Card
I recently posted a video where I played with wet-on-wet in watercolours and also some views of the Swedish forest in spring, where I wrote a bit about how you can document life with video. Now I have made another video as you can watch here or on YouTube, if you’re curious about my creative […]
Just some Painted Index Cards
Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore. Stefan Zweig Posting two painted index cards, made this summer while trying out a kid watercolour set. Loved […]
Last post of Index Card Collages
I have made over 60 collages in two months. I love this kind of project, something that pushes me further. A daily project that shows me what I have time for when I push myself a bit. It doesn’t seem possible at first, and then you’re doing it anyway. In this pile only the June […]
