Goodmorning lovelies, are you enjoying the cooler weather in Europe? I know I AM!!! Finally, we got to give the apartment a good clean, bring the last boxes to the shed and re-arrange the balcony. Oh, and my friend Mandy van Goeije payed me a visit. We don’t see each other much and whenever we meet we have so much to show each other and talk about! I was (am!) in ooh and awe about her new bound journals – I saw those on her Facebook feed and she brought some of those books with her. And some of her latest (watercolor) art. She’s such an amazing artist!
Over the last weeks I didn’t spend much time in my atelier. Although it is the coolest space in the apartment, it was still too hot to go loose with paint and brushes. I could only work on pages in bits and pieces and created a collage page because it’s a technique that you can walk away from and come back to and add little bits every time. The finised piece was still on my desk this morning when I took this photo.
Here’s the spread in it’s full glory…
Rumours
I kept on going in my Chronicles art journal and I worked on those pages in a similar way… going back and forth adding stuff every once in a while. I am all up to date keeping this journal right up ’till week 32 but I won’t show you all the those spreads today. Let’s keep this post (reasonably) short, as Julia – the lovely hostess of What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday – does not like long blogposts on Wednesdays (go HERE for explanation or if you want to join WOYWW.)

Fab artwork as always. I’m enjoying the cooler weather here in England this week. It was really hot over in Holland while we visited our friends last week.

Loving your chronicle page Marit, so quirky in design and fun with it’s words. Glad the cooler weather has enabled you to get some of your sorting sorted. You always have the neatest of creative spaces.
Thank you for sharing WOYWW hugs Tracey #5
Ooh Marit I love the journal page with the Eagle’s head – I wish my head would work in that way when doing collage. A fabulous page, and lovely lettering too.
Great chronicle pages too!
Have a good week – Hugs, Neet 6 xx
You always create such quirky, interesting art Marit! I love the journal pages and especially the Waylon Jennings lyrics – absolutely brilliant!!

I adore that eagle spread Marit. Collage is a fun technique and you’re right that paint in the hot weather does not always work very well. Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah #19
