The magick of notebooks

Ok, I admit it, I’m a hoarder of notebooks, sketchbooks, and journals. But I do use them! And it’s also nice to have some not-yet-used options readily available in a box so I can choose from them for new projects instead of having to go out and buy a new one.

In this blogpost I’d like to show you some of my witchy notebooks and journals that are currently in use. I kind of feel like a kid working in these and I love it. Witchcraft opened up new creative opportunities for me that I’m very happy with. Since the pandemic I’ve used/filled about a dozen new sketchbooks/notebooks and the ones I started in the past 13 months are all witch-themed in some way. So let’s take a look…

Upcoming punk/witch events + webshop update

I’ve got two craft fairs coming up this month that I’m very excited about, one in Leuven (BE) and one in Lille (FR), AND I’ve just added more things in my webshop (zines, bookmarks, embroidery). I’m also brainstorming about taking commissions for drawing very special portraits… Read on to find out more about all of this:

Happy 14th birthday, Chainsaw Bunny!

😮 Today, August 25th, is Chainsaw Bunny‘s birthday aka the anniversary of her creation! Send all birthday cards, carrot cake, and wishes her way! She’s turned 14 but is still such a little baby. 🙂

NEW: Wonderful Witch bundles – zines, postcards, stickers, and more!

It’s July 13th and Full Moon… time to send some art magick out into the world! 😀

In the past few months I’ve been busy creating lots of different witch-themed things: zines, postcards, buttons, stickers, bookmarks… I hope you will enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed making them.

UPDATE: these bundles are no longer available but all items are still for sale in my new webshop or by emailing me.

Springtime dreams coming true and artwork sneak peeks

As flowers are blooming and plants are sprouting, I feel encouraged to start new creative projects or grow my existing ones. In a previous blogpost I talked about what I am currently working on and now I’d like to show you some sneak peeks of the work in progress and finished items. The new zines, cards, and stickers will all be available soon! I’d also like to share some memories of my first Springtime 2022 wish coming true: taking part in an outdoors craft fair / flee market!

What am I working on this month?

I enjoy working on several creative projects all at once (can you tell?). There’s so much I want to do and make and I enjoy alternating between different artistic disciplines: a bit of writing, a bit of sewing, a bit of drawing, a bit of music… the more the merrier. Because I rarely set strict deadlines and I do them mainly for fun, these creative projects rarely overwhelm me – instead, it’s what keeps me going.

Here are the creative projects that I’m currently working on:

Simple DIY magick – 7 creative ideas for you to explore

For me, delving into DIY witch practices is connected to creativity and self-care. This is what attracts me to it and keeps me curious and exploring. In this blogpost I’d like to share some simple witchy things I’ve enjoyed doing and making lately that can be used to enhance your creativity or mental health but are also just fun to create or learn about.

Februwitchery – all the lino stamps I made

In the beginning of February I set myself a creative challenge to try and make a witch-themed lino stamp every day of February. I named this challenge “Februwitchery“. 😀

So now let’s take a look at the results…

New spell bag recipe

In between all the lino carving, I made a new spell bag! Spell bags or charm bags can be used for self-care and witchcraft and can contain any ingredient from herbs to sea shells. This one is intended to boost courage and self-confidence as well as to inspire cosiness and comfort. And it smells soooo good!

Februwitchery – how it’s going with my witchy lino stamps

In the beginning of the month I set a challenge for myself to try and make one lino stamp every day in February. Because I wanted the designs to have witchy themes, I called this challenge “Februwitchery”. 🙂 So, would you like to see how it’s going so far?
