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.

A visit to Hølsjøen
These are some pictures I took during a visit to a lake just 30 minutes from here, up in the mountains. It's a beautiful place, and the weather was great. Lilith even got to see a frog.
Proud but Achy
I must say I'm pretty proud of the hard work we did today. We bought three used bookshelves yesterday, and today we carried them upstairs, and my husband assembled them. Then we went through all our comics, grouped them and put them in numerical order. Then we put...
Lucky to live in Soknedal
I thought I'd show off some pictures taken in the area where I'm lucky enough to live. The village is called Soknedal, and it's in a beautiful area of Norway. For those who want a map, there's one here. Now for the pictures. The following pictures were taken today, at...
Painting Noses
The last week I've been working on my first painting in many, many years. I got the idea straight out of the blue, after having a total drought for any ideas whatsoever for a long time. Now, I'm almost finished, but I've hit a snag. The same snag I always hit when...
Full Moon Dreamboard
Inspired by Jamie Ridler's initiative, I created a dreamboard of my own. In keeping with her blue theme for July. I had visitors tonight, so I didn't get to post it within the time frame of the assignment, but here it is anyway.
A yearning for creativity
As you may have noticed, I've returned my personal pages and my blog to Wordpress and changed my theme. The reason for this and many of the other things I'm doing at the moment now is a yearning for creativity. I need to get back to the place where I love to be;...
Environment Actions
I've taken a number of actions to do my bit to help the environment by reducing my so-called footprint. So far I've replaced my washing liquid and fabric softener for more Eco-friendly products. I now use the product line Neutral, it's enzyme free, Swan marked and...
Rök Runes – 4- Áss
Áss is the fourth of the Rök Runes as well as in the Elder Futhark. Because it's changed slightly, I've also made some changes to the interpretation. As the rune of the Æsir, Áss represents the divine. But not so much messages from the divine. I would say more worldly...
Viking Market and Hair
Yesterday I went to Trondheim Viking Market and had a great time, but I thought I'd share what I had done to my hair before going. On Thursday evening, a friend and her soon-to-be 18-year-old daughter helped me braid my entire hair into 80+ braids. I know I look weird...
Osteoarthritis: Still on sick-leave
I was at home today because I had a doctor's appointment. I thought I'd get a few other things done as well, but it turned out to be less than I thought. I managed to alter one t-shirt and make a short video for YouTube. Just to show that I'm still alive. I got an...
Countdown to Trondheim Vikingmarked
I'm counting down towards the first fair this year. It's Trondheim Vikingmarked. I'm nowhere near done with everything that needs doing. I haven't received the two dresses yet, I won't have time to sew trim on the overdress, I've made some amulet bags, but I haven't...
Osteoarthritis: Follow-up
I thought I'd give you an update on the result of my doctor's appointment. I saw a temp, not my regular doctor, but she was good as well. She asked me a number of things, like how much I feel I'm able to work, and why I feel I have to work less. I'd brought a letter...
