One of my favorite things I've ever made was an altered magazine. The paper was buttery smooth and like @ihannas.bsky.social mentions, the pages are already covered so there's nothing to lose!!

A digital product listing showing the cover of my printable Autumn activity cards, which is covered in autumnal doodles (pumpkins, leaves, acorn, mushroom, coffee maker, pie, kettle) with the title in the middle. In the background, we can see bits of other pages, including a Stars Hollow colouring page and a word game.

I'm terrible at promoting my shop and forgot to share these printable Autumn activity cards! I created them for a zine last year and thought I would turn them into a digital product for everyone to enjoy. 🍂☕️🌰

Aww! Too cute!

Regal Turkey Vulture perched on a tree branch, seen in side profile. The branch extends into the background and branches off in opposite directions. Description from Wikipedia: The body feathers are mostly brownish-black, more black around the head and neck, but the flight feathers on the wings appear to be silvery-gray beneath, contrasting with the darker wing linings. The adult's head is small in proportion to its body and is red in color with few to no feathers. It also has a relatively short, hooked, ivory-colored beak.

Calling all bird loving artists! This month's bird is the Turkey Vulture! 🩷 Draw! Paint! Sculpt! We hope you'll join us. Posting day is Oct 29th.

October brings dark collages In the entire circle of the year there are no days so delightful as those of a fine October, when the trees are bare to the mild heavens, and the red leaves bestrew the road, and you can feel the breath of winter, morning and evening—no days so calm, so tenderly solemn, and with such a reverent meekness in the air.

All the leftovers saved for later | Collage week 35 When one's dead, one's dead… This squirrel will become earth all in his time. And still later on, there'll grow new trees from him, with new squirrels skipping about in them. Do you think that's so very sad? — Tove Jansson I think collage is always, in some way, made out of "leftovers" and I love that. The magazines that others have discarded, the papers left from other projects, the ephemera of your days all coming together into a new whole.

For Artists, Rest Isn’t Luxury, It’s Survival Recently, I came across a fantastic post about the importance of a “third space” - that place outside of home and work where you can exist without pressure to perform, or perform by different standard...

Brightly colored illustration of bugs having an outdoor, seaside party. Flowers and plants surround them. A grasshopper plays a flute, a beetle plays a ukulele, a bee shakes a maraca.

Postal Bliss | Collage week 34 Welcome to the current week of my 365 collage project, week 34. Yes, this week is week 34 this year and I am finally "caught up" to the current week with my big project of creating seven collages each week. Yay! I am loving these seven collages, made from old envelope remains and cancelled postal stamps mostly from Sweden. Their origin papers will be explained / revealed in a later post as I created a video to go with the papers but it's not edited just yet.

Be the bigger bird | Collage week 33 August invited me to finally find my way to the balcony and enjoy my little outdoor place. I read quite a bit but also brought out my pile of collage materials and worked out there, on the tiny glass table. You can only do collage work when there is absolutely no chance of wind, because otherwise your trash as well as your lovely scrap bits will fly all over the place in a second.

Berry many bird collages again | Collage week 32 We like bird collages, right? Right. So happy that you'd say that because I am making a LOT of collages and many have birds on them. This time: berry many! Berry, you ask? Berry! My glasses and a bird collage. One evening as I could not stop listening to the audio book I was reading at the time (which was the wonderful…

Ceramic Cat Collages | Week 31 2025 From an article about vintage ceramic cats I cut out seven different cat figurine images to use in my collagework. I love the juxtaposition of using scraps from my stash and images of other art forms or artist's expressions. It feels like a collaboration with them but also like a commentary or celebration of other artists grateness. Maybe even like a conversation, unknown to them and maybeonly audible to me, where I get to express myself to/through their art.

Combining ceramics and collage, is is even possible? Here's my take on it!

Repeating an idea of collage patchwork | Week 30 2025 I love repeating seasons, both in nature and in our creativity. Sometimes it is winter and we slow down and rest, sometimes it is spring and everything feels new and exciting. In summer sometimes I'm hit with a bit of garden envy as I look at beautiful houses with green lawns where flowers bloom everywhere along the edges. One summer in 2018 I came with up with the collage concept…

Garden envy doesn't sound nice, but it's just what I call admiring others beautiful gardens in summer. This is my homage to that.

Yay – At number 200 of 365 | Collage week 29 An angry dog, girls playing together, a goose, free and captured birds, death and silver colored fishes are the main characters in today's story, if there is one. Maybe these collages are just loosely held together because they fit into a "week's everyday" together, like short stories in a book but by the same author (artist). My brain spins with stories as I look at them, but I won't bore you with them, I'll just ask you to take a look and let me know if you find stories and tales in artwork too.

Collage time! An angry dog, girls playing together, a goose, free and captured birds, death and silver colored fishes are the main characters in today's story, if there is one. New blog post in my personal #365something2025 series. Another milestone!

A bit of Numerology | Collage week 28 You can always count on me to be back with more collages right? Two of today's collages had random numbers on them so I decided that was my theme. I went in and intentionally added a number to each one, calling the series "A bit of Numerology" even though that is not what it's about for me (I don't believe in that "science" at all) but I like the title.

Mindful Makings | Collage week 27 2025 I like mindful makings, and collage is always that for me. A moment of calm, sitting with my images and gluing bits together. I love that so much, and that's why I'm trying to create 365 collages this year. That, and I have a lot of ephemera, papers, scraps and magazines to pull from. So let's see what this week brought out...

New blog post! Click on over to view my newly made collages! Yay!

High Summer Greetings | Collage week 24 2025 High Summer Greetings my friend, hope you are well. Here the balcony door is open and this season is magnificent. I want more of this calm feeling, this feeling of being surrounded by beautiful flowers, happy bird babies that is visiting me on the balcony and a row of leisure days stretching forward. Days of creating art, drinking iced coffee and reading books.

Happy August! Here's the newest blog post, with seven collages feat, what I hope is that warm, sunshiny "summer feelin"
