The Art Witch Blog
I’m a mythical artist, photographer, designer, intuitive and all-around creative based in the Norwegian mountains and this is my blog.
This is where I share my creative expression and do my best to inspire, empower, share tips and information, and give the occasional kick in the butt so you can have a more fulfilling life. You’ll also find a lot of art, some behind the scenes and works in progress, as well as some strong opinions, and a swear word or two. If you enjoy the posts, please share them.

The herbs on the 11th of May 2010
A look at this year's herbs, as they were on the 11th of May 2010. It's just a test to see what my other camera is capable of producing. It's a Sony CyberShot.

Me-time and crafts
I simply have to get some me-time every day. I find myself missing this. I have to get back to meditating and relaxing. I have way too much on my plate. You might think it's easy to just drop some things, but it isn't. I only do what I absolutely have to when it comes...
So what have I been up to?
Well, I've been very busy lately with herbs, housework, family and work. But since I'm at home with a cold today, I've got a little time to update you on things I've been up to. I've done some paper-mâché: I've replanted a lot of the herbs. This is what they look like...
