If you find yourself asking yourself (and your friends), “Am I really a writer? Am I really an artist?” chances are you are. The counterfeit innovator is wildly self-confident. The real one is scared to death. Steven Pressfield – The War of Art I’m sorting through little bits of paper scraps around here at the […]

DIY Spray Paint Crazy
I love DIY Spray Paint projects a lot, mostly because it is so much fun to personalize things with color. It’s my favorite repurposing thing to do with thrift finds! Plus it’s the quickest way to totally transform the look of something, which is always fun. These days you can find so many different hues […]
Paint Party in the Park
The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land. Gilbert K. Chesterton Earlier this summer me and two friends had this small Paint Party in the Park. I had promised to serve something creative in my […]
Doodeling in the Ocean
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned. Peter Marshall This small island is called Grinda, it has some rental cabins, a camping ground, two places to eat and one little shop/coffee place for boat tourists to stock up on frozen food and shampoo I guess. We went to a place called Backfickan, just […]
Currently
Enjoying: summer as much as I can, when ever I can. I’ve been having very low energy for days on end, but when I find energy I try to spend it outdoors. June has already provided two BBQ-dinners with family and some lovely excursions, so I can’t complain really. I have captured lots of photos […]
Stamping Patterns with Found Objects
Making hand made patterns with Found Objects is always satisfying and fun. My most recent explorations into stamping on fabric involved a garden hose stump found in the grass, among other things… I used the end of the garden hose stump to stamp circles, and couldn’t stop. It made such a pretty pattern! I liked […]
In the Shade
We have a heat wave in Sweden. It’s + 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) and more, right now, and that people is what I call a real summer! I’ve been enjoying the shade of the apple tree, camping out on a blanket with my gear. Can’t be bothered to think when I don’t have to. […]
Week in the Life | Misty Monday Morning
I was so tired when I got home from work Monday evening that I feel asleep early, without even emptying my camera. It was full of all the Week in the Life Monday photos I had taken during the day, with my new camera. Not until now I’ve had the time + energy to go […]
Art Journal Peek | Painted Patchwork & White Flowe
Hi, thanks for stopping by and being part of my creative journey! This page is a more or less even, continues grid pattern that I enjoyed filling with watercolours. A painted patchwork maybe? I love grids, any kind of grid. I made it while away on my Journaling Vacation. Here is the full spread: Related […]
Summer Crush | Outdoor Creating
The stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own. Mary Oliver For a week this summer I lived in a small cottage in the forest, by the water. I moved out of my apartment to be close to nature, and I […]
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 […]
I bring a pencil when I go fishing
Gone Fishing – Not! I doubt you imagine me sitting outside for hours fishing, huh? And you’re right. I rarely do. Instead, if I am going fishing I go for the fika and to be outside in the sunshine. And I bring a book… Related PostsFound doodles Bits and pieces Watercolour me now All-over-Collage – […]
