Handmade books

Here I have two handmade books with longstitch binding. One cardboardcover is painted with mixedmedia techniques and the other one is cardboard covered with burlap and some splashes with paint.

Kreativ prosess.

I ANMA bloggen har designteamet jobbet med å dele den kreative prosessen når vi jobber med et prosjekt. Jeg laget denne layouten som min oppgave. Hvordan jeg tenkte når jeg jobbet med den kan du lese mer om her. Ønsker dere alle en fin og kreativ helg.

It is all about bright colours.

Junk Journal at Bømlo Scrappevake

 Happy Saturday everybody. 

My first class at Bømlo Scrappevake was a junkjournal workshop. Here we have a group selfie of the creative and very lovely ladies. They made some really cool pages as you will see furter down .

First we all made junkjournals and then everybody made some backgrounds and collage pages.

The most important thing, the process. 

Flipping through magazines and stash to find that perfect paper.

There where even time for some celebration during friday evening.

Full concentration, showing how the stitches is going.

Sort magi - Bømlo Scrappevake

Today I have some pictures from my layout workshop at Bømlo Scrappevake. It was all about how to use black gesso to make some debt to the background. Here is my example layout.

Pictures from students work

And a group selfie of course.

Wishing you all a great weekend.

Bømlo Scrappevake - Mixed media card class

This weekend I went to Bømlo Scrappevake where I was invited to teach 3 mixed media classes. Today I want to share pictures from the mixedmedia card class I had on saturday morning : Hvit Lykke! 11 creative ladies did an amazing job with their cards.

Here are my two examples made for the class.

The kits had som real treasure and with help from scrappy friends I managed to get beautiful Prima flowers to all the ladies at my class.

A groupselfie from the class is a must :-)

 Students working hard.

I will share more pictures from the event later this week.

New beginnings

This weekend I attended one of my favourite crop in Norway - Papirfesten. This time I had a short demo for Scrappegarasjen on how to use Brusho. (I know there where some picture taken, so maybe I will get my hand on them and put them in here later).  Rest of the day I played in my art journal. I wanted to make a page for the Mixed media place challenge Beginnings and this is what I made. I'm so in to creating collages these days and love trying out new techniques and search for great inspiration. Here I wanted to play with different colours than I'm used to.

And while I was inspired by the challenge I had to make another page, this time I made it in my Kate Crane book from the Wanderlust2016 class. Wishing you all a good Sunday and please look out for each other, you never know when you are needed. Spread your love.

This is what I really want - Art Journal

Today I want to share a double art journal page made from the inspiration from the new prompt at Wanderlust (one year online mixed-media class) - What do you really want... and the challenge #38 at 13art: Shine. I've used some red glitter on the boys heart and a little red sped down right on the page. I've also added some shiny red Glitter Glam on the red cardboard heart on the left page. 

Thank you for looking.

Junk Journal video

Hi there. Hope you all have a great and creative weekend.

I've made a tutorial on how I made a junk journal and an art journal page in the journal.

Two of the Art Journal pages inside the book

Quality time!!!

 I was so inspired by the challenge at Kraft + this month I just had to make a page.

I love to experiment with calligraphy and handwriting so here is my take on the challenge.

I've made a page where I've used paper from my Gelliprint stack and this one was perfect for the pictures of my son and our dog. He was going back to University in the UK so they needed some quality time together before he left. I've used white Ecoline paint and a calligraphy pen made out of a can. Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make it and use it. I've also written some sentence with my handwriting and ordinary white pen. Thank you for looking.
