I want to show you my doodled stones – before I release them back to nature. There were extremely many stones featured in my last post and I think it’s because stones have been on my mind. These two I picked up a while back when I was out walking. I carried them with me […]

Eye Candy: Sparkly Maple Leafs
Yellow, orange and red mixed together into fire, wine and happiness… It’s the fall colours. I want to pick up every beautiful maple leaf I see and bring it with me home! The best way to save some of this prettiness that I know is to take photos. So I did. Related PostsPink and Green […]
Maneki Neko Sketch
Sitting in the shade with my Art Journal and a high glass of iced coffee. Dipping my paintbrush in water and painting with a mostly unused colour (ochre) in my paint box of watercolours. Swirling it around, making pools of water. Related PostsNanami Cafe Notebook Art Journal Peek: Hey Mr Bluebird in the Garden I […]
Fun Spraydate with lots of Spraypaint and Stencils
This summer my friend Nina and I had this great spraydate together outside her house. It was so much fun that that we stayed for hours and only finished when the sun set and we couldn’t see our papers to spray any more. All the spray paint cans are Nina’s. She has a stash to […]
The Curiosity Bug Infection
How is it possible to have this much to say and not write it down when you have the chance? Can one burst from too many finished sentences floating around inside the brain? Will I burst? I thing I have caught the The Curiosity Bug, and it’s bugging me! I have been trying for days […]
Knitted Graffiti Art – what a hooligan I am!
My first knitted graffiti! Well, to be honest, my first graffiti ever I think! I just haven’t meet people that was “in to” this kind of stuff before, but this Sunday we were a bunch that sat outside and made little pieces of decoration for our environment. I had a very nice time with new […]
Smear, stain and spill that acrylic paint
I could only read a couple of pages in Traci Bautista’s book Collage Unleashed before I had to put it down. Not because I thought it was a bad book, but because I was so inspired I couldn’t continue reading. I couldn’t sit still and not be creative. I jumped up, gathered my acrylic paints […]
From a cats point of view
Inspired by browsing through Jojo Falk’s photos of her cat Ripley I hung my camera on my shoulder as I went out with Smilla. I was thinking I have a lot of photos of my cat, but they are of her sleeping indoors, almost all of them. Some are blurry, most of them are kind […]
C’et la vie
I wanted to post a picture of the most unusual (for me) place that I’ve made art. Now I’ve found the picture! It’s me working in my art journal in a open air salon just outside our bed room inside the tent. I sat there listening to the wind whispering in the trees that were […]
Watercolour me now
I did this summer’s best collages (according to me) on loose pages from an old watercolour paper pad, with very little supplies. All of them fitted in my pen case and a small “art bag” I found in mom’s sewing room and asked if I could have. I love this little bag, as it contains […]
Suitcase decoupage and a crafty picnic
Do you remember the red case I bought two years ago? It’s been sitting in the basement for too long and I wanted to do a big project so I took it up in the beginning of June. Then cleaned it up and transformed it to something a bit different… Plus I’ve been thinking about […]
A cupboard of joy
Photos from above: I took this photo when my friend Ellinor and I was creating on the balcony today. I’m really pleased with the photo, because it’s fun. It’s taken from above, which mean I was standing on a chair when I took it. It’s an awesome photo trick. Try it sometime, you will discover […]
