It is good to spend time with your diary, especially if it's new to you or you've not been writing for a while. To feel close to your journal, like a really good friend, you need to spend time with it. If you, like me, have not written for a while it's more important than ever. Reacquaint yourself with your diary by spending time with it.

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 I'd use them in my art journal, but I haven't.

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.

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.

It is time to replace my comfort quilt, the one I made back in 2008. It was my first ever quilt, and so far I've only made two quilts so I am not very experienced in this craft. This will be my third quilt ever, and I'm super excited about it. I love sewing and have created quite a few quilted pillows, pin cushions and table cloths over the years.

There are days in the studio when the table feels like a tiny universe. Right in the center, four newly finished handmade resin figurines are catching the glow like they were made for it, as sunlight…

I've made my mom & dad an Easter gift this week (it's something that I want to share in more detail with you guys later on). When I wrapped it in pink polka dot tissue paper, I remembered a blog post of mine that I recently edited, where a recycled paper flower adorned a birthday gift (also for my mom). I decided to replicate that bow idea for this gift (about 19 years later), but using paper of a roll of yellow gift wrap.

Our fluffy little bunny could easily be a photomodel for a Easter Card, right? But then again, he always jumps away... My brother (soon a teenager therefore also called Monster JR) has got the cutest ...
