May I TOOT please?

September 28, 2012 By Marit 20 Comments

YAHOOOOO!!

Sorry for the noise guys, but I have reasons to celebrate this week…
LOOK!

Yep, the second issue of FEATURING is out and MAN am I proud
of my team – the magazine is again filled with wonderful articles!
I also thank the contributors who send in articles and art – you guys
are all amazing and made this issue as fabulous as the debut issue.
Maybe even ‘fabulouser.’ (I know that is not a word but I’m so excited
I made it up ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

During the next week, we will present sneak peeks of the articles
on facebook (you do ‘like’ that, don’t you?) and also send out tweets.
We may not be able to make #Feat2 into a ‘trending topic’ but we
may at least try…

 

More good news:
when you order
Issue 2 of
FEATURING
by October 30th
you will
automatically
be entered to win
this terrific book
‘Alternative Art
Journals’ by
Margaret Peot.
We give away
five (5!) copies.

(Persons who pre-ordered Issue 2 are already entered into this giveaway.)

So here’s all the info for you in a list:

  • If you’d like to see inside issue 2, click here.
  • Read the entire line up of the second issue here.
  • Also, if you haven’t purchased Issue 1, it’s still available
    for purchase here.
  • Click here to read all about how to enter your artwork
    or article ideas to FEATURING magazine.
  • Remember to order your copy of Issue 2 before October 30 to be eligible to win a copy of Margaret Peot’s “Alternative Art Journals”.

On top of all the excitement, I felt also loved this week.
Loved by my beloved, my friends, my family and even by nature
’cause look at this amazing phenomenon.

Herfst paddestoelen

verklaren mij hun liefde

vanonder de boom

Mushrooms in heart shape

gently declare love for me

underneath the tree

 

Every Friday, I write a haiku for ‘Haiku my Heart’ which is hosted
by the lovely Rebecca. Visit her blog for the list of participants:
Recuerda Mi Corazon

And here’s one last ‘act of love’ before I ‘lay my weary head to rest’
after a busy week. (No, I’m not going to sleep. It’s the middle of the
day and I’m not tired at all – but I like that sentence so much that I
thought I’d use it… ha!)

Anyway, here’s the mono print I worked on for my friend and
soul sister Lenny. Sunday is her birthday and I give her the moon!

Moon for Lenny

(The moon is made out of silvery paper, all shimmery and silvery
and reflecting so it's pretty difficult - if not impossible - to
get that right on a photo)

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!
Go read a magazine! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My copy is ordered! And I echo those mushrooms in sending love messages to you, and birth day wishes to your friend from that beautiful moon that rises from your heart and hand! I have this image of you drawing a little puffy pillow for your “weary” head, which is a good line indeed! Have a beautiful weekend Marit! XO

    The mushrooms are magnificent in their number, but the fact that they are in a heart shape is a special omen, I think! Congratulations on a great week!

    I love the Moon. I call her Grandmother Moon when she is full and bright.
    I am very happy and proud that you are happy and achieving success with Featuring Magazine. How and where do I order? (I must have missed that post).
    I am working, creating here at Spadoville these days as I convalesce. I’ll be ready to exchange addresses soon and i am very excited about that.
    Love the haiku today. That visual mushroom heart is definitely meant for you to find. I mean, What’s not to love?

    Much Peace
