Hmm... I think there's a party in my Doodle Book today! LOL
Today I just want to share one single spread in my so called doodle book. I'll write more about what a "Doodle book" is to me another time, but simply put, it's just a sketchbook where I don't sketch but just allow myself to doodle. Patterns, forms, flowers, birds, lettering, anything that pops into my
DOODLE inspiration and joyful pen dance ahead:

This blog post is about swatching out new pens when you buy them, about using doodling as a way to slow down and maybe even meditate, and about playing with gel pens in a journal or sketchbook. This blog post contains three videos from yours truly, iHanna, so let's start with those. Gel pen doodle

I have this note up on my wall. It's been up for over a year now. I was just testing out some green metallic paint on a yellow post-it-note and lettered "Make your art" as a message to myself. I stuck it up (not actually on the wall but to a drawer in the dresser)

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

Dear photo diary, Today I am sharing some leftover photos that I don't think I have shared before. I hope that's okay with you. I am the queen of random after all, so that's not too unexpected, right? I am not sure when I created the "photography" category on my blog, but I'm so glad
