Collage Time: Cover of my Book Notes Not...

Why Cutting up Old Books is Allowed
People will question the fact that you want to “destroy” a book on purpose. They think of books as sacred things. Not as everyday items but something to keep “for ever”. This is a beautiful thought, I agree, but not all books are meant for an eternity on your shelf. I read way more than […]
Creativity in Snapshots | Shabby Chic Wi...
The view from my window. I never tire of my two big windows and the constant ebb and flow of light they yield. Right now it’s snowing, slow big flakes, outside my window here in Sweden. Falling like there is no hurry in the world. I’m about to wrap some gifts, clean of my messy […]

What I Wore today
What I wore today, in drawing. First I was doing an exercise to create a 6 minute diary page á lá Linda Barry, author of the book What It Is (that I own and totally recommend, it’s awesome). She wrote: Why is it so hard to keep up a diary? IT ISN’T! Not if you […]
