"Intuition is the whisper of the soul." — Jiddu Krishnamurti

"Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness." — Allen Ginsberg

It is a very nice place to keep all bits and bobs you have in drawers, that you never would use elsewhere. A treasure

Its raggerdy and not very tidy, just the

way I like it.

Slow stiched card. I used a playingcard as the base. I guess

that tells a bit the size of the journal

In the beginning I called it ugly art, but now I really like it.

It is so relaxing, you should try it. Remember, the

mind is the limit, so dont limit yourself. 

"Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect." — Steve Jobs

"Listen to your intuition. It will tell you everything you need to know." — Anthony J. D'Angelo

 

Making a new sketchbook - watercolor & pen & slow stitched journal cover

I have used up some fabric scrap and handstitched

a journal cover for my new sketchbook.

The plan is to do some watercolor flowers, birds and zentangle

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant." — Albert Einstein

I will try to draw flowers and fantasy flowers, try out some colors.

Practicing doodle flowers is a fun and relaxing way to enhance my drawing skills and add beautiful elements to my art projects. I do not plan, I work very

intuitive.

"Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do." — Benjamin Spock

"Intuition is seeing with the soul." — Dean Koontz

Birds with charachter, and I will use other medium as well

"Creativity takes courage." — Henri Matisse

"Every stitch tells a story."

I love slowstiching, it is so calming, its so meditative 

and peaceful. I am still wondereing about my

hacked instagram account, but have not heard

a single word from meta after I complained.

I really enjoyed being on Instagram, and I have so many

beautiIful friends there, so I wonder if I should make

a new instagram account?

 

Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

Me må jo leva litt, og trena litt.

Carpe diem

 Together, sunshine, freedom, and a little flower remind us to seek out the things that nourish our souls, uplift our spirits, and make life truly worth living. They encourage us to cultivate a sense of gratitude, curiosity, and wonder in our daily lives, embracing each moment with open arms and an appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us.

Intuitive art

 Intuitive art, also known as intuitive painting or intuitive expression, is a form of creative practice that emphasizes spontaneity, exploration, and self-discovery. Unlike traditional art forms that may involve careful planning and execution, intuitive art focuses on allowing the artist's intuition and inner wisdom to guide the creative process.

Here are some key aspects of intuitive art:

Freedom of Expression: Intuitive art encourages freedom of expression without the constraints of rules or expectations. Artists are encouraged to let go of preconceived ideas and judgments and instead trust their instincts and inner voice.

Exploration of Emotions and Energy: Intuitive art provides a safe space for artists to explore their emotions, thoughts, and energy through the act of creating. Artists may use colors, shapes, textures, and symbols to express their innermost feelings and experiences.

Process-Oriented Approach: In intuitive art, the focus is on the process rather than the end result. Artists are encouraged to stay present in the moment, allowing the artwork to unfold organically without attachment to the outcome.

Nonlinear Progression: The creative process in intuitive art is often nonlinear and unpredictable. Artists may move freely between different mediums, techniques, and styles, following their intuition and responding intuitively to each moment.

Mindfulness and Presence: Intuitive art practice often involves mindfulness and presence, as artists cultivate awareness of their thoughts, sensations, and emotions while creating. This mindful approach can lead to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Connection to Inner Wisdom: Intuitive art is a way of tapping into one's inner wisdom and intuition. Through the act of creating, artists may gain insights, clarity, and self-understanding that they can apply to other areas of their lives.

Playfulness and Experimentation: Intuitive art encourages a spirit of playfulness and experimentation, allowing artists to embrace mistakes, take risks, and explore new possibilities without fear of judgment.

Holistic Healing: For many practitioners, intuitive art is a form of holistic healing that promotes emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. Engaging in the creative process can be therapeutic, cathartic, and empowering.

Intuitive art can take many forms, including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and mixed media. It is practiced by artists of all skill levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, and can be enjoyed for its process-oriented nature and its ability to foster self-expression and personal growth.

Ultimately, intuitive art is about connecting with oneself on a deeper level, trusting one's intuition, and embracing the creative journey as a means of self-discovery and exploration. It invites artists to let go of expectations, surrender to the flow of creativity, and embrace the beauty of the present moment.
