Art Journal Peek | A Tiny Book of Cut and Paste
I love love love making tiny books. You just fold a couple of papers together, and then you have something to keep working with/in/on. This tiny book of cut and paste is one of the many mini art journals that I have made through the years. It is perfect for summer, if you’re going somewhere […]
Finished Tiny Scrap Notebook for warm up Collages
I have finally finished this little cute notebook, about as big as my palm, that I call Tiny Scrap Notebook because of its content; lots of little scraps that I wanted to keep somewhere… I later renamed the book “Warm Up Collage Notebook“, because of how I started to use it. I have made little […]
Before you Start, create a Warm Up Collage
If you’re feeling stale and uninspired, in body or soul, you need to start with some warm up exercises, to get you going. I think this is one of the stumbling blocks when making art (or trying to restart it as a practice), that we expect to be creating something awesome directly when we sit […]
A miniature blank book in a tiny box
I love making miniature blank books to use as journals, give as gifts and to play in. I have made these little books for several years. I add in a lot of pages, so it is hard to share all of them in photos, and that’s why I haven’t always shared them. I should make […]
Experiments with acrylic paint | smooch, rub, lift
Creativity is an elixir of life. It keeps us from being dried up and brittle by keeping the essence of our life-force juiciness channeling into new ideas, projects and visions. Heatherash Amara I love experimenting with acrylic paint. Making collage papers or mixed media papers is my favorite way to experiment and play, just letting […]
Cut & Paste with Kids
Everyone loves cut and paste – if they get the chance to try it out. You get to choose images from a magazine, images that you really like. You get to use a scissor. You get to glue them together in a nice composition – and you get to keep them for ever. A friend […]
Every Artist Needs a Scrap Notebook
When you don’t know where to start or what to do with your collage scraps, a Mini Scrap Notebook is the perfect place, get into your scrap inbox and start filling one. Mine is a small spiral bound book that I’ve made myself. In it you add little bits of paper to get started. 2-4 […]
Last list prompt: Subjects I Know
I’ve written a list on the very last page of the List Journal today. It’s now filled and it’s time to shelf this project. I hope you’ve enjoyed following along and I know some of you have been inspired to make your own list journals and to write the prompts. Thanks for shared links left […]
List Prompt: Places I Dream of visiting
It’s time for the third list prompt in the List Journal (intro here), and this time we’re focusing on something I haven’t done much of lately; traveling. I’ve been doing a bit of work related travel around Sweden, but not the holiday resort adventure kind of traveling that one dream of. Not in a few […]
Introduction to the List Journal Project + a promp...
Tammy and I did a journal swap a while ago. She made me this awesome little journal with a fabric cover, fold out pages, sewn pages filled with painted papers, scrapbook papers and cute stuff. I sent her a journal I made specially for her, featuring her initials and other bits from my paper stash. […]
Try to restrain yourself
Trying to restrain yourself is hard if you ask me. I’m a maximalist, not a minimalist. I like clutter (but not the dust that lives between everything). I like lots of choices (but not having to go out to buy that one extra thing not in my stash). I like filling a journal page to […]
