When you are too stressed to create, that's when you NEED to sit down and be creative the most.

A Tiny Art Journal Project just for fun | iHannas Blog

While sorting through a few folders of magazine clippings (meant to be collage fodder for art journaling) I found some very small ads for stamps that I cut out, maybe two years ago or so. They show black and white illustrations of what those stamps would look like stamped out. At the time I thought

Busy busy busy doing flowers. 😊
And thinking what to do with the #100daysproject.

I really like the thought of creating and focus on beautiful things as an act of resistance against all evil around us nowadays.

Thank you all for your beautiful art and pictures. 🩷

Do you have a favorite blurring app for iOS or Mac OS? I'd like to post more of my art, but much of it lives in art journals with personal journaling. I'd like an easy way to blur the often very-irregularly-shaped sections of text.

I'm using Skitch here, it seems to have worked okay but it bulked it up to a 20 MB png, yowza. Are there better options?

Since becoming chronically ill in 2022, I've been unable to do many of the things I used to do. So I started to search for new things that would bring me joy: art journaling, drawing, photography and other (creative) stuff. So the things I share here are basically about my journey to my new self.
There is a lot to explore.

The last few days, I explored
watercolorpainting. The assignment was: "Don't be precise with the pattern, it (the vase) has to look hand-painted." So I did, I wasn't precise indeed. But the truth is, it bothers me very very much. 😅

At Artists 25 Lifedrawing here in the West end in September I tried my first four-hour pose drawing. Most participants were using paint but I have no experience with paint, so I just stuck with my …
