For the ones who follow me and/or read my last post: the Open Atelier weekend was just awesome!
You can read about it – and view the photos – in my former post HERE.
Today is a quiet day… no deadlines (at least not for this week…) so the day ánd desk is all mine to chill out with relaxed creating… like playing with the new crayons my beloved bought me, or work on the art journal page I started yesterday (or both.)
Here’s how the desk(s) look this morning…
WOYWW #287 – The left side of my ‘U’ shaped desks
I started a new spread in my ‘Chonicles’ Art Journal (“the Chronicles” is a weekly, ‘diary’ like, art journal I keep for the fifth year already…!) After I put gesso over the background, I put it aside to dry and started playing with my new colouring crayons my beloved gave to me last week, and that is what you see on the other desk…

If you are not familiar with WOYWW, you might ask what it is and why I show photos of my desk. Well… What’s On My Workdesk? Wednesday is a weekly blogseries/hop hosted by Julia in the United Kingdom and lots of crafty people share photos of their desks every Wednesday. Find the list of participants HERE and have fun visiting artist’s desks from all over the world!
It’s been ages since I showed you the Chonicles pages… because of the Open Atelier deadline I spend less time on this journal and I was a few weeks behind in both creating and showing these spreads. I’m working on week 47 right now though, so I should be catched up soon. Here’s two spreads of former weeks for you.
The Chonicles of Marit – Week 44
The Chonicles of Marit – Week 45
(The doll-shape is inspired by the art of the beautiful Kim Mailhot… I admire her art very much!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you all have a creative day!
Don’t stress over Christmas, relax and enjoy today!

Your dedication to your journals is something I admire so much, Marit. I get lazy, or let other things get in my way and let sometimes months go by between pages. When I do sit down to lose myself in the play, I remember how much I love it and what it brings to my world ! You inspire, Soul Sister !
Not too stressed about Christmas. We are flying to Canada from Florida to be with my family. We have all decided that this year will be about the people around the tree rather than the gifts under it ! So happy about that.
WIshing you a sweet and creative day !
Love and light!

It is a good thing you have some time for yourself. Lovely journal pages. I admire you that you are keeping track of a regular kept journal.
I hope business is running as you want it to.
