Die ogen zijn echt super. En er gaat niks boven een fijne boekhandel. In Leeuwarden zit Van der Velde, prachtige combinatie van nieuw en oud (antiquariaat) in een nog mooier gebouw. Ik mag er graag uren ronddwalen.

Hi Marit. I’m really late visiting this week so I apologise to everyone… I love those eyes you have drawn – amazing – well done. Hope you found lots of things to do last week.
Take care. God bless.

Bravo to the store for packaging your magazines in paper Marit, recyclable is always better.
Your eyes are magnificent, eyes are my favourite of all things to draw and your study of those pictures is fantastic.
If I see a magazine with the head or eyes missing, I will always think of you now hee hee!!
Thank you as always for sharing WOYWW.
have a super weekend Hugs Tracey #4

Oh Marit you are a tonic, so full of ideas and enthusiasm for some time at your desk. I’m in love with the paper bag from the shop…Leonard Cohen is one of my all time top musicians too, and I’m going to look out some of the novels, because I think if you like them , I might well too! I think it’s a great idea to buy the foreign language magazines, I try to provide dictionary pages in foreign languages at workshops for the same reason..they read the definitions and then decide they don’t like them and want a different page. And it made me laugh to think of your magazines having lots of pics of headless or eyeless models!!

Hi Merit, Oh my what talent you have. I love the sketches of the eyes 🙂 I kind of smiled that you have three containers of water on your desk. ~Stacy #24

I love the eyes, and I love how when we (creative types) look at something, whether a project pops up in our minds, or we see it as no one else does. The drawings are awesome – my favs? The sultry one (row 2 #3) caught my eye right away – well done! And Row 3 #2, and the last one. Keep up the good work! I get into these drawing moods too, but they don’t seem to last long, sadly. I was actually just thinking about this yesterday, how I was doing so well, then life just got int he way. I just can’t do all the things i want to do! (and there’s a lot!) I love your desk, so inviting, so neat! Have a great week, and thanks for your visit! Lindart #23
PS-I will try the warm water tip for my sprays!
PSS-sometimes my family laughs at me because I get so much pleasure from the wrappings and tissue etc from my presents – almost more than the present itself! So I absolutely understand the paper bag!

It is hard to keep the creative flow going. Good that you found a way to get started again. Ive been slow to make over the last weeks perhaps its the change in the seaqsons. 5, 7 and 10 are my favorites. 5 I like the strokes of the hair accross it 7 is so dark and striking and 10 as its so hard to draw eyes without lots of eyelashes. Have a good week may the ‘creative force’ be with you! #27

Hi Marit, I don’t think I can pick a favourite from the eyes. You have drawn them all so well. Maybe the bottom right hand corner one! That’s a long time to keep your blog going, well done! I hope one day we can meet at a crop, that would be fun! Have a lovely week Heather x #11

Loving the eyes, maybe I could do something similar with the dragon’s eyes. It was interesting that you collect French magazines for your journaling, I love them and always end up bringing several home when we’ve been skiing in France. Hope your week is good and happy woyww, Angela x13x
