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.

Osteoarthritis: Back on sick-leave
Just thought I'd add a short post letting you know. I'm back on sick-leave after just one day at work. It only took one hour of working before my shoulders told me it wouldn't work. To write on a regular keyboard, you have to rest your arms on the table, so as not to...
Convertible Mittens
I recently finished these. A pair of convertible mittens. I improvised the pattern from an idea I got when a co-worker showed me the mittens she got from her Icelandic mother-in-law. They're made from leftover pieces of yarn, and they're meant to be for me since I...
Bindrunes

Scrub-a-dub-dub
This is a video where I show you how to make your own salt scrub. Something I can't understand why people pay for.
The stupid things we do
When I carry something too heavy, walk on ice, sit for too long, stand for too long etc. My back gets strained, and the muscles in my lower back lock up, especially around my sacroiliac joints. I've done a couple of those things lately, so now my back is making its...
Doodle Journaling
A Doodle Journal Page I started today. It's far from finished. I'm adding doodles and other stuff later, but you get the idea. I'll show you the finished one when it's done.
Trondheim in the dark
The Christmas lights started going up and getting lit at the beginning of November in Trondheim. And Yes, I love the Moon. I'm a Witch, what would you expect 😀
Motorola Cover Up
No, it's not a coverup, it's a phone cover.You might call it a case or a sock, I call it a cover. I decided to make one because I didn't want the screen of my new phone to get scratches, and I finished it on the train home today. It's Tunisian Crochet with Crushed...
Playing to Learn (the Atrix)
I got my new phone today, a Motorola Atrix. So I've been spending some time getting to know it. And the only way to do that, is to play 🙂 Not play games, playing around with the menus and options. I've set it up so it works now, but I haven't customized anything yet,...
