The Bright Professor - a canvas


It's Fri-yay! This time the Friday process video is a canvas type of creation. I'm not sure if you have noticed, that I try to create different projects in my process videos each month? I aim to have a card typed piece, an art journal project and also a canvas or altered one. As most months have more than three videos, the extra ones might be copy of any of the types. 

But back to today's project - a canvas of sorts. I first thought to work on top of an actual canvas, but then thought to use an old book cover instead, following a kind of recycling or repurposing theme. As you can see from the process video below, I also used a couple of acrylic techniques in the make, both playing with the idea of the paint drying in different rates. 


I used stamped elements as my focal point this time. To add some dimension to the piece, I used foam tape to mount some of the elements. But the bigger dimension is added through the wire. I wanted something grungy to the piece so I wrapped some wire around the base and threaded also a couple of glass beads through it.

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

PS. If you have any wishes about the process video projects, please let me know!

Process of surrender - YouTube live recording


Moikka! Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I have another art journal spread for you! 

Last week, on Thursday, I kept a YouTube live and created this art journal spread there. If you were unable to attend, you can see the recording underneath. It was a bit of a different day than usual, as it seems that the weekends during March are all booked! As you can see from the photo and the recording, I used watercolors to create this spread. I also shared a bit of my design principle when it comes to color and pattern. 


I made the sample using pink, orange and brown and this version with blue, minty green and brown. I had made these papers before hand as I prefer the watercolors to airdry. If you want to see the complete materials list, please see the announcement post (link).

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a lovely day!

Lost and now found - One BADASS art journal


Hi there and happy new week! This week is super exciting for me as it's "my week" on One BADASS Art Journal 2024 (affiliate link)! My actual project went live yesterday as well as this extra one which I created as a little gift for the participants. 

I created an art journal spread as my main project, too. I can show you the photos of this extra piece, but if you are enrolled, you get to see the process video for this spread! That is on top of the main project with a video tutorial, of course. I'm so happy and thrilled to be asked to participate to the workshop. You can still join us, should you like! Just click the affiliate link above. 

Thank you for stopping by today! Wishing you a great week!

Courage, adventurer - an art journal spread


It seems to be a total art journal week! A spread and a page and now another spread but this time with a process video, as it's Friday! 

I used watercolors on this spread, too. If you joined me yesterday with the YouTube live, I might have hinted about this page as well. On the other hand, if you hadn't the chance to catch me live, you can now see the recording and combine this video and the live to create a bunch of watercolor patterned papers! If you want to see how I made this dotted version and a stripy one, please see the process video underneath.


Like with the live project, I used the same colors and patterns through out the project. You can see that in how I colored the vintage photo, using the same colors as in the background or in the repetition of the circles and circular shapes. 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Full of flower power - BADASS art journal workshop


Moikka! One BADASS art journal workshop of 2024 is up and running and there's several wonderful lessons already published! 

This is my take on the beautiful lesson of Tiare Smith. Naturally I can't share the process, but what I can say is that it was fun and empowering! It's so wonderful to be a total student at times and try something new. 

If you want to join the fun and see this lesson amongst many others, you can read more about the workshop and enroll here (affiliate link).

Thank you for stopping by today! See you on Thursday on the live!

Color, shape, repeat - YouTube live announcement


Hello hello! Second post of March and it's a YouTube live announcement! The date is a bit different this time than usually as I'm keeping the live on a Thursday. The weekends this months are so booked that I ended up choosing this date, Thursday the 7th as the live day. Hopefully you can attend! 

The topic this time is an art journal spread. I'm using watercolors to create patterned papers in a couple of ways and then turn those pieces into a spread. I also plan to share my thoughts about color and pattern as easy design elements.


As always, I've listed the materials of the live underneath. You can create alongside me, although the papers need some drying time and I have doubles already pre-made. I find it easier and nicer to let watercolors airdry, but sometimes use a heat tool, though, if I'm in a hurry. It changes the look a little, though.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope to see you on Thursday!
