Good morning sweeties! A sunny morning in the Netherlands, it looks no-where to be December but it is. It is the month to get busy rounding off unfinished journals and projects. I just jotted down some dates and projects that I need to work on and taped that note to my window sill. Do you have any unfinished projects that you want to finish before the end of the year?
Although those projects I want to work on are on my table (The Documented Life Project,) today I show you two pages from the big journal that I only just started: Grandes Chaleurs (spreads are 30,5 x 49 cm – 12 x 19 inch)
Ohio
Cross-over
These spreads take several days from beginning to end, and sometimes even longer. There are lots of layers on these pages and I build up by adding something from time to time. The journal lies open on a side table in my atelier so I can look at it – and then suddenly I see what needs to be done on a page. Do you work that way or do you create one page from beginning to end? (I create in both ways, depending on the art journal and page I’m working on.. I also work in multiple journals at the same time which results in having similar colored pages/styles in different journal.)
Thanks for visiting my blog today. I’ll be back on Monday with a GIVEAWAY so see you after the weekend. Enjoy!

These pages are all Gorgeous Marit, and so uniquely YOU! I am the same as you. I do alot of pages start to finish in one sitting, but I have a bunch of journals where I add layers here and there. I love your idea of leaving one open so you see it all the time. I might have to try that. Thanks for the inspiration and have a great day!

If I listed all my unfinished ideas, I’d need a new notebook!
Love the pages.

oh dat zou ik graag willen, het geduld hebben om iets te laten liggen en een dag later nog een laag aan te brengen en nog tig dagen nog tig lagen… helaas wil ik dingen vaak af hebben zodra ik er aan begonnen ben, maar soms ga ik ook go with the flow wie weet wat de periode tussen kerst en de jaarwisseling voor verrassends brengt 🙂
