Always Something to Write About

November 30, 2015 By Marit 4 Comments

Good morning on this last day of November… yep, December is almost here – are you looking forward to all the festivities next Month with not in the least my Top 2000 blog-party? I can hardly wait ’till the complete list is announced (December 16) so I can scroll through it and make a plan for this year’s Top 2000 art… I don’t know yet if I will work with a theme. My way of creating changed in the last months so I might just go with the flow and see which song speaks to me at the moment. I have a vague idea that maybe I want to make ‘abstract/minimalistic collages’ but that idea might change when I see the list.

Anyway, let’s not jump ahead ’cause there is something nice happening right now too… I’ve been published in The Daisy Yellow E-zine!

Zine 15 Draft.pages

 

This zine is a publication by Tammy Garcia from Daisy Yellow and it’s chock full with interesting articles and inspiring tips (just like Tammy’s blog Daisy Yellow itself.) Take a look at the the table of contents.

Awesome content isn’t it? You can purchase the zine HERE

The article I wrote for the zine is called ‘Always Something to Write About‘ (it’s worth the read if I may say so myself) and you already know of course that I always have something (or a lot of things…) to write about. My Chronicles pages illustrate that. Here’s a bunch of spreads from my Chronicles art journal that I haven’t show you yet.

I ordered a new A3 block of drawing paper, the kind of paper I use to bind my journals with, so I can make a new Chronicles art journal for 2016. The 2015-Chronicles-journal is 15 cm x 21,5 cm {5.9 x 8.5 inch} the spreads are 30 x 21,5 cm and I like to change the size. I love the size of my ‘Grandes Chaleurs‘ journal so I am thinking to bind the new Chronicles journal in a similar size. It’s kind of a tradition to change the size every new year.

I’m also reflecting on my ‘word of the year‘ (in my case it was a ‘sentence of the year’ in 2015, but for next year I might pick a word again.) Did you choose a word to ‘live by’ in 2015? Did it work out for you?

Thanks for swinging by my blog today, I hope you all have a nice week. See ya soon and remember: Keep On Rockin’ in the Free World 😉

    O, heerlijk, je ideeën spatten weer van het scherm af.
    En wat leuk dat je artikel is gepubliceerd!
    Ik wilde het magazine gelijk bestellen, maar helaas: dat lukt me niet. (geen credit-card enz.)

    Benieuwd naar je top 2015! Zelf doe ik daar niet aan mee.

    Congratulations 🙂

    Wonderful pages as always. I think the muted colours are ideal for the Paris page.
