										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is a workday for me today, but I absolutely wanted to celebrate the fact that WOYWW is online for the 900th time. <em>What&#8217;s On Your Workdesk Wednesday</em> is an event I was involved with for years; an event I sometimes miss but for which I barely find time anymore due to my job and other commitments.</p>
<p>However, in some way you may call my job &#8216;creative&#8217; too (I work in the restoration studio of the <a href="https://www.zeeuwsarchief.nl/en/">Zeeuws Archief</a> ), &#8217;cause I handle all sorts of paper all day long and today there is something interesting on my desk.</p>

<p>It will take some time *grin* to smoothen and repair the paper so that the public can handle this book again, but page by page I will get there&#8230;.</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by and uhrm, ladies: <strong>congratulations on this 900th anniversary!</strong></p>
<p>(I hope to be able to visit your blogs too in the next days, see ya!)</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Uit de PZC (Provinciale Zeeuwse Courant) 10 juli 2026<br />
Rolf Bosboom &#8211; Algemeen verslaggever</p>
<p><strong><em>Kruit, een van de bekendste Zeeuwse schrijvers en dichters, is woensdag overleden. Zij is 85 jaar geworden.</em></strong><br />
<em>Kruit groeide op in Zoutelande. Nadat zij vanwege een hernia lange tijd op bed moest liggen, begon ze op latere leeftijd met schrijven. Het leidde in 1976 &#8211; precies vijftig jaar geleden &#8211; tot haar debuut met Achter een glimlach, een poëziebundel voor volwassenen.</em></p>
<p><em>Al snel ging ze zich steeds meer toeleggen op verhalen en gedichten voor jongeren en kinderen, bij wie ze zeer populair was. In de loop der jaren verschenen vele tientallen boeken van haar hand.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Toonaangevende dichteres</em></strong><br />
<em>„Johanna was een toonaangevende dichteres en stond in het circuit van de kinder- en jeugdpoëzie vaak alleen in een gezelschap van vooral mannelijke dichters”, schrijft de bekende auteur Ted van Lieshout in een reactie op haar overlijden. „Te midden van hen viel ze op met een dromerigheid en zachtheid die, ook qua sfeer en variatie, opvallend goed bij haar pasten en bij het landschap waar zij zich het meest thuis voelde: Zeeland.”</em></p>
<p><em>Margreet de Haan van boekhandel ’t Spui in Vlissingen noemt haar ‘een fantastische dichteres en schrijver’. „Zo uniek en zacht in haar menszijn. En tegelijkertijd een ontzettend sterke persoonlijkheid die het in haar begintijd moest opnemen tegen de veelal door mannen gedomineerde literaire wereld. Daarin slaagde ze met vlag en wimpel.”</em></p>
<p><strong><em>Groot aantal prijzen</em></strong><br />
<em>Johanna Kruit won met haar werk een groot aantal prijzen en haar poëzie wordt nog steeds regelmatig opgenomen in bloemlezingen en bundels. In 2024 werd ze geëerd met de Prijs van de Zeeuwse Boekhandel.</em></p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a month since I published something &#8211; anything &#8211; on my blog so it&#8217;s about time I show you my latest art journal spreads. I just upload these pages without explanation &#8217;cause you know what? I don&#8217;t feel like sitting at the computer too long. The sun is shining, the weather is wonderful, it&#8217;s my day off and I have a nice book waiting for me&#8230; I am heading straight back to my little balcony to sit beneath the parasol and read.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been seventeen (17!) months since I joined What&#8217;s On Your Workdesk Wednesday&#8230; I used to share my workdesk every week but since I have a job, free time to spend in my atelier is limited. Sharing a photo of my workdesk would still be possible but it would only be fair to do so if I have the time to visit the blogs of my &#8216;fellow deskers&#8217; and there usually is not enough time for that&#8230; (the ones among you who receive my monthly <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/newsletter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">newsletter</a> are aware of all the rest that I do and will agree my time is limited) and so you don&#8217;t see me very often at woyww.</p>
<p>So, it&#8217;s been a long time, but Sarah is still hosting the &#8216;deskers&#8217; and I have a little vacation (this week and the next) to fill with whatever I want &#8211; a lot of creating going on &#8211; and I thought it would be fun to join in this wednesday to see if all my former desk-collaborators are still there. HI THERE, MY FELLOW ARTISTS &amp; DESKERS, I plan on visiting you this week and am curious to see what you&#8217;re all up to.</p>
<p>For now, here&#8217;s how my workdesk looks today</p>
<p><a href="https://www.sarahscraftshed.co.uk/2026/04/woyww-882-102-two-weeks-to-anniversary.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WOYWW #882</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-04-29-woyww882.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34418" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-04-29-woyww882.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-04-29-woyww882.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-04-29-woyww882-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-04-29-woyww882-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a rather big project I&#8217;m working on: making 80 &#8220;prompt/inspiration cards&#8221;. I got a list of &#8220;prompts&#8221; from a woman in an art journal group on Facebook. I printed those prompts and selected eighty of them. Next, I spend an afternoon making gelliplate-prints and glued those on old playing cards.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-voorkant.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34421" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-voorkant.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="532" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-voorkant.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-voorkant-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-voorkant-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Next, I dived into my stash of scrapbook papers to glue on the back.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-achterkant.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34419" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-achterkant.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="471" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-achterkant.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-achterkant-300x177.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/promptkaartjes-achterkant-768x452.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m still cutting out and gluing the prompt-sentences, and it will cost me another afternoon or so to finish the task. I might decorate the cards even more, depending on the time I have left &#8217;cause there are more things I want to work on this week as there is: my CHRONICLES!</p>
<p>For all the ones who knew me from former years: yes, I am still journaling and keeping my &#8216;Chronicles&#8217; going.<br />
For the ones who don&#8217;t know me yet&#8230; I am an art journaler, I bind my own journals to fill them with all kinds of things (&#8216;mixed media&#8217;)<br />
I work in different journals but there&#8217;s one &#8216;theme journal&#8217;, <em>The Chronicles, </em>that I keep going since 2010 and that can be seen as a red thread&#8230; These are handmade visual year-journals in which I create a weekly spread. It&#8217;s sort of a visual diary and on its pages I comment and reflect on my days or just try to capture the week in words and pictures,</p>
<p>My friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lenaschreijenberg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lena</a> took photo&#8217;s of me with all my Chronicles journals the other day, ain&#8217;t this a fun picture?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Marit-with-Chronicles.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34425" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Marit-with-Chronicles.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Marit-with-Chronicles.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Marit-with-Chronicles-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Marit-with-Chronicles-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the latest week spreads.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Week15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34424" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Week15.jpg" alt="" width="827" height="650" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Week15.jpg 827w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Week15-300x236.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/2026-Week15-768x604.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px" /></a></p>
<p>And that&#8217;s it for me this week. Hope you enjoyed seeing me and my art again&#8230; enjoy your week!</p>
