How are you maintaining it and do you have a specific time when you sit down to create?
It looks yummy! I really want to find such a practice too.
A sketchbook lying open on a white table. The pages are covered with colourful paper collage elements, including circles and scribbles. There are also pens and notebooks on the desk.
15 minute collages in my sketchbook. They're just a kind of brain dump exercise and don't really relate much to my other work. I do find them really fun, and look forward to this daily ritual now.

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

The rebellious act of being creative
When I am feeling lost at sea, like I have no anchor to hold on to, I sometimes loose my connection to my creative work, to the notebooks or journals I am (supposedly) currently working in. This makes me feel like I've lost connection to who I am as a person…
Glue book with me, to relax and use some fun colorful images in my altered book, yeah?

Netflix poster from the series "Diary of a Ditched Girl", which in Swedish is called "Halva Malmö består av killar som dumpat mig", based on a book by Amanda Romare.
Read Amanda Romare's book a while back, and now watched the Swedish tv-series on Netflix and totally loved both! Weird, funny, sweet & realistic at the same time. If you've ever dated online you will recognise yourself. Great actors & sweet ending. Recommend!

Art journal prompt: Add your Big Heart to the page
This week I decided to go back to my love of hearts and paint a big, pink heart in my altered art journal. A big heart filled with colors. It is my way of adding myself & my heart into my new art journal. A heart is such a beautiful symbol of all…
Omg, too cute! The Strawberry Shortcake doll is my fave!
Art Journal Prompt: Swatcheroo
Swatcheroo is a fun game to play in your art journal, sketchbook or paper pad, any time you want to get started with new paints, find your way into a new journal, or re-start your practice. "Swatch" is both a noun and a verb. noun Swatch - a small sample of color…

Need more playful, just for fun art journaling in my life. Maybe it's time to create another miniature art journal again? It's January after all...

I know of a good one, but it's in Swedish and unfortunately not translated. Sorry. "Adams bok" by Åsa Moberg.
Coolweavings! I wanted to leave a comment finally, but there's no comment section open? 🥲

50 art journaling ideas to try this year!
I have created a list of 50 art journal ideas to try in the new year. I made the list for myself, but you are more than welcome to try them all and let me know how it goes.

Lol, this made me think of how I just read a news article asking: how can we "pose" with our favorite books in social media when they're mostly digital these days, and then stating that maybe Prada (!) has the answer with their book cover collection:

Started blogging in ’95. Nearly all site’s my content from the past 30 years is still up. Sadly, the same can’t be said for most third-party content I linked to. Happily, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine Link Fixer solves much of this.

Nice. But isn't a silkscreen a print, not a painting?
It's snowing today too!
