Life is too short for boring art…
Fragile Soul #1 - It all started with an idea, it became an artwork of three pieces that show you how my art is linked to my emotions. This is a canvas where I worked with acrylics and gold leaf. In my past I worked for years with flowers, I try to incorporate them as much as possible, they stand for beauty and fragility.
Fragile Soul #2 - This one is for some reason the second one, but I painted it first. I had three canvasses lying around and when I was finished with this one I wanted them all painted. This is a canvas where I worked with acrylics and gold leaf.
Fragile soul #3 - The last one, I tried different poses, and worked with some different details in the paintings. I want them to fit together but be different enough that it has character of it's own. This is a canvas where I worked with acrylics and gold leaf.
30 day drawing challenge - I love flowers and try to get better at drawing them. So a challenge would give me some training. I used alcohol markers, black and colored fine liners and acrylic markers.
Creative idea - cat. When I'm out of ideas, I will scroll through my Pinterest board to give me inspiration. I saw a pretty picture of a cat and this is what I made. I used water based and alcohol ink in combination with colored pencils and a white acrylic marker for the details.
Mandala A4- I made a mandala on an A4 page, it's on a slow pace, trying things, erase them and try again. It's wonderful to slow my ADD side and focus my energu in being calm :). I worked with fine liners and acrylic markers.
Mandala's dream- I started making mandala's and I saw some Zen doodles passing by and I was intrigued and tried making something of my own incorporating flowers and other elements. I worked with fine liners, alcohol marker and a white acrylic pen.
Flower mandala- This is a newer one I made, trying a new idea. I worked with fine liners, alcohol marker for the background and a white acrylic pen.
Butterfly mandala - When I make art collages and I'm searching for a certain sticker or paper, I come across many butterflies. This gave me the idea to try and combine it with making a mandala. I used fine liners and a black alcohol marker to fill in the bigger pieces.
Mandala with golden moon - I had a lot of inspiration, made another mandala and my love for gold leaves made me use it for a few details. I used fine liners, a black alcohol marker for the bigger parts and gold leaf.

Colored mandala - I think this one came out well, I was so used to the black and white that I wanted to step out my comfort zone and use color. I used black and colored fine liners, alcohol and acrylic markers and gold-ish leaf.

Art collage - You are unique - I'm still not sure how to call this, so I gave it a name... It's kinda like scrapbooking, but the things I saw where not as detailed and with the same combination of materials. I love to make these, the only downside is that my desk is a huge mess with everything I need to lay next to me... But it's worth it!
Art collage - And the adventure begins. I found the lemon paper soooo beautiful. It's handmade from Nepal I think. It was the start for this piece.
Art collage - make today amazing. I love flowers, you don't need much to make something beautiful.
Art collage - butterfly. I got some butterfly stamps and I wanted to use them for some embossing, for a real first try I think it worked out. I learned that it's not a good idea to overlap double sided tape...

Forgotten lantern - I saw an AI generated picture from a miniature door with some things in front of it and it sparked something in me... A whole while later, I created this. I already have so much more ideas :). The idea of creating art with something that would have gone on our attic or to the landfill is so amazing. The next few pictures are more detailed.
