These collages are not for reading, even though they have a lot of text on them. I wanted to try playing with typography in a graphic sense again, and it was lots of fun cutting up text. Some are kept legible, other parts are half covered or cut apart. I love the way they look, […]

365 Collages | Week 22 | Swedish Headers
The titles of these collages (no 148 – 154) is quite random, but the collages themselves are all themed around Swedish headers cut out of vintage craft magazines. I love the colorful look of these Swedish text headers, and I hope you’ll enjoy these new collages! Here’s no 148 for week 22 of my 365 […]
Update: Index Card Collages
I’m making Index Card Collages this summer. What are you making? Today it’s time for a index-card-a-day (ICAD) Update. We’ve already passed the middle of June 2017, and summer if flying by. Time to catch up. For each day this summer I’m filling a pink index card with a little colorful collage. This year I’m […]
Typography in 3D
Feminism’s agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to “choose” between public justice and private happiness. It asks that women be free to define themselves – instead of having their identity defined for them, time and again, by their culture and their men. Susan Faludi A friend gave me this cardboard box-like […]
Pink Polka Dot Altered Vintage Postcards
Some Altered Vintage Postcards by me, iHanna. Enjoy. Each swap round I try to experiment a bit with my postcards. I mix it up, change things around, try new ideas and techniques. This time I started on unused, vintage postcards as the base, and added lots of acrylic paint on top of them. Some are […]

Craft-a-Doodle | Big Hearts & Letters
Back to the book Craft-a-Doodle again, it’s such a fun book. In it you’ll find a fun exercise where you loosely doodle a big, bold letter and then colour it in. This is my kind of fun, especially since Cynthia Shaffer suggests we doodle on vintage book pages, my favorite drawing material! Super cheap drawing […]

Video | What the World Needs is You
Today I’m sharing a quick text-based video that is actually a commercial for a book that I haven’t read or even seen in person. But the sweet message, that is all about how important you are, and the way it is presented visually in this clip, is such that I think you’ll be smiling after […]
365 Collages | Week 29 – B/W again
Collage: Tasting Like Salmiak Using only black and white is one of many great exercises in Plowman’s The Collage Workbook. I already made a week similar to this one (Week 22 – Black & White Edition), but I said then I wanted to create more works like those and here we are. Another batch of […]
Creative Lettering – Techniques & Tips from Top Ar
Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation. Graham Greene If you enjoy pretty letters (the art of writing beautiful words by hand) in your art […]
365 Collages | Week 11 – Typography Edition

Typography Collage might be the art of arranging words so that the aren’t that easy to decipher… At least that’s what I find interesting […]
