So very true…. Don’t you think so?

Non machinable Analog Art Collage | week 40 These are non-machinable analog art collage artworks on paper, made by my human hands, scissors and a glue stick. I call them art because they're art to me. If you enjoy them, I'd love to know. Cheers.

Happy December to you - with the 40th blog post of the year about my art collage project! #analogcollage that is, the only one I do and love. Hands-on, glue sticking, joyful and messy collage.

Celebrate the small wins | Collage week 39 267. Celebrate the small wins I am attempting to create a whooping three-hundred and sixty-five collage artworks on paper this year. I think that is about 345 or so more than I did the year before (at least) and I am a bit behind again. The year-end is getting closer, so I will try to get to my collage table every day this week.

I send out all my warmth and love into the world with these colorful collages and time-consuming blog posts. I hope you feel it, and if it hits home with you - I sure would celebrate that.

Oh baby, baby | Collage week 38 Continuing on using a few Victorian scrap die cut images in my collage artwork - this time showing super cute illustrations of babies. I think all of these are so very sweet and I hope you do too. 261. Like a fish in the water I actually love that some of these have been taped into an album (by someone else) at one time, and that you can see the yellowing tape residue on them.

Scrap Die Cut collages | Collage week 37 All good art is political! There is none that isn’t. And the ones that try hard not to be political are political by saying, ‘We love the status quo.’ We’ve just dirtied the word ‘politics,’ made it sound like it’s unpatriotic or something. — Toni Morrison With these seven new art pieces I've created some fun Scrap Die Cut collages. If you don't know what that is, please check out blog post and video…

Sorry for your loss. Hugs across the pond.

On my desk: Postal Stamp Postcards I wanted to start using all those cancelled postal stamps I found this summer right away after sorting through them. Sometimes when we (read: I) get unique and fun ephemera we tend to hoard it. We tuck it away into cute boxes and forget we even own it, which is not a good practice at all, right? I mean, even with flat pieces of collage paper or tiny postal stamps - it accumulates.

Say hello with a mini painting / postcard Hej friend, how are you doing? I hope you are having a lovely day. Hej is Swedish and it means "hi", or hello. It's the greeting I decided to go with on a DIY Postcards last year, along with a girl with purple hair that I painted. She is inspired by several other similar girls made in different art journals and doodle books over the years, and it was fun working on her on a mixed media postcard for the postcard swap.

Decoupage Postcard – playing with napkins There are SO many different ways you could create a handmade postcard, right? You can experiment with materials, tools, layers, words and images, applications and styles - in infinitum. Personally it's one of the things I love most about art. No matter how you try to do something on repeat - it will turn out differently every time and surprise you.

How to create a handmade postcard using gesso, napkins and a bit of collage - enjoy!
