For one of the last pages in my Summer Junk Journal I had a blank watercolor paper to fill, so I decided to film the process of me filling it with this fun, easy to create scalopped pattern in rows. I filmed my process and talked a lot – so…

To paint is to love again
Today some views from my Hahnemühle Watercolor Sketchbook. To me it’s an Art Journal, but with watercolor papers that I like to fill with doodles in watercolor. One of my favorite activites. To paint is to love again. It’s only when we look with eyes of love that we see as the painter sees. His […]
Fill a tiny journal: Colorful
Colorful to me, is an easy prompt. I can do almost anything and it would fit within the category of “colorful”, or flip to almost any of the pages in any given journal and it would be that; colorful. I love happy, bright colors so so very much! If ever there was a time that […]

Dear Photo Diary | Another Year has gone by
Dear Photo Diary, I have been making videos at my desk, for my YouTube channel, but I have not been taking a lot of photos. It’s just been that kind of year I guess. Who else feels that it’s been a bad year for photography? I think it’s time to restart the habit of taking […]
Journal with me: Metallic Watercolor Swatching
Come, let’s journal about all the nice things I got for my birthday! On my birthday, back in April, I got a few pens and some money to buy art supplies for. I decided to invest in my first “set” of metallic watercolors in loose pans, from the brand Coliro Pearlcolors. I got pink and […]
Note to self: Shake things up
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them. Marcus Aurelius As with everything I think it’s important to not do “the same” all the time. […]

Writing a letter
I got stacks of letters that I got when I was younger, maybe from my teens until I was 20 or so? I used to put a lot of effort into writing letters when I was at that age, maybe because it was the time before Internet and e-mail? It makes me feel rather old […]
Hahnemühle Watercolor Sketchbook + process video
For Christmas I got a fancy new sketchbook filled with watercolor paper. It is very much the kind of sketchbook / notebook / art journal that I like as a little luxury item beyond my own hand made books and altered books. And in it was the kind of paper I love painting on. So […]
Nanami Cafe Notebook
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside. John F. Kennedy Did you know that writing paper from Japan can be as thin as 52 gsm? I used to think that the copy paper I use for […]
Painting a lot of Hearts | Time-lapse video
Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts. Paramahansa Yogananda All through February I have been painting colorful hearts in my little notebook. I could probably continue for a while longer, because there is no end to the ways you […]
