</strong></span></p>
<p>Now you have to wait another four months until the next &#8221;Free blog event&#8217; occurs on my blog&#8230; I know my regular followers immediately begin to snigger now: &#8220;there she goes again &#8230;&#8221; Yes, I&#8217;m talking about the 2000 TOP BLOG PARTY ! At the end of the year, I will organize this creative blog party for the eleventh time (that is, if I live and breath&#8230; but I have to be really ill to not let this party happen, it&#8217;s the highlight of the year!) Don&#8217;t you know me &#8211; or my blog &#8211; that well, and do you have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about?

<p>But hey, we don&#8217;t have to wait until December to celebrate creativity and music do we? Let&#8217;s have a party right away! Let us create to the music right now, as a foretaste of the Top 2000 or just for fun. To finish this Quirky blogseries with a cheerful BANG! Agree? Here we go&#8230;!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #10. Create with (and to) the music<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>There’s not a person to be found that has not made some connection with music. Some songs make us feel joyful while others raise poignant memories or remind us of people we once knew, and we all have our own preferences for a particular music genre.</p>
<p>Various studies have shown that especially the music from our teenage years evokes the strongest emotions. That is not surprising, considering the fact that our teenage years mark the time that we form our own identity, spread our wings and take the first steps into the big world to build a life of our own. These years of growth and change are often accompanied by music: popular music on the radio, TV or YouTube, music recommended by our friends, songs accompanying a night out. In our teenage years, lay the basis of what we later will refer to as “the soundtrack of our lives.”</p>
<p>The music that certainly has it&#8217;s place in my own &#8216;soundtrack of my life&#8217; is from the artist Leonard Cohen. When I had just discovered my creative niche &#8211; art journaling &#8211; I made my first art journal in 2009 using lyrics of this singer-songwriter. This was my very first &#8216;***<a href="http://www.maritspaperworld.com/old-blog/?p=2793" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">conscious&#8217; art journal spread I ever made</a> (*** I created small books before which I called mini albums, but those were more scrapbook related books&#8230;)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26516" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="538" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me-300x202.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me-768x516.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I bound all the &#8216;Leonard Cohen&#8217; spreads together in a book (well, not &#8216;bound&#8217;, I didn&#8217;t know how to bind books back then yet. I created on old bookpages and glued them back into the cover; a so called &#8216;altered&#8217; book.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/03-cohen-ingebonden.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26517 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/03-cohen-ingebonden.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="667" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/03-cohen-ingebonden.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/03-cohen-ingebonden-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>The next &#8216;music journal&#8217; that I started was made out of old album covers (you can find amazing albums/covers in second hand stores or garage sales) extended with extra cardboard pages. I used duct tape to connect the pieces together and gessoed the cardboard. Some pages are half the size, and they fold in all directions.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04a-album-vouwboek01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26518 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04a-album-vouwboek01.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="453" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04a-album-vouwboek01.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04a-album-vouwboek01-300x151.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/04a-album-vouwboek01-768x387.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>Next is one of the pages from the &#8216;album cover journal.&#8217; (I must admit that I never finished this journal, it is still an unfinished project sitting on the shelf &#8217;cause I find the pages rather big and therefor difficult to work on&#8230;)</p>
<p><strong>The Doors &#8211; People Are Strange</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/05-doors-whenyouarestrange.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26520 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/05-doors-whenyouarestrange.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="837" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/05-doors-whenyouarestrange.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/05-doors-whenyouarestrange-287x300.jpg 287w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/05-doors-whenyouarestrange-768x804.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>From big to small&#8230;. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist_trading_cards" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ATC&#8217;s</a> inspired by music&#8230; see how much you can do on such a small size?!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/06-atcs.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26521 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/06-atcs.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="435" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/06-atcs.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/06-atcs-300x145.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/06-atcs-768x371.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>So you see, I get inspired by music and I am not the only one. That&#8217;s why my annual Top 2000 music party (which I host since 2009) is such a huge succes. The Dutch Top 2000 list is a big inspiration source to many. I bind a special art journal for it every year, it&#8217;s quite a stack!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/07-top2000-journals.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26525" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/07-top2000-journals.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="648" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/07-top2000-journals.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/07-top2000-journals-300x243.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/07-top2000-journals-768x622.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Those were a few random examples &#8211; now let&#8217;s take a closer look at creating to the music, because there are various ways you can get inspired by songs.</p>
<p><strong>Art inspired by musicians (the person)</strong></p>
<p>Are you a fan of a certain artist? Do you like the look or personality of a certain musician? You don&#8217;t necessarily have to like his or her music (but you can, of course) to be inspired. Here&#8217;s some examples:</p>
<p><em><strong>Jimi Hendrix</strong></em> &#8211; made by Lena Schreijenberg</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26526 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg" alt="" width="697" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg 697w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Amy Winehouse</strong></em> &#8211; made by Charlotte Kums</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/09-artiest-CharlotteKums-AmyWinehouse-BackToBlack.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26527 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/09-artiest-CharlotteKums-AmyWinehouse-BackToBlack.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/09-artiest-CharlotteKums-AmyWinehouse-BackToBlack.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/09-artiest-CharlotteKums-AmyWinehouse-BackToBlack-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/09-artiest-CharlotteKums-AmyWinehouse-BackToBlack-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Art inspired by a song title</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes the title of a song is enough to inspire you, even without hearing the song or knowing what it&#8217;s about you can create something&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><em>Clocks</em> </strong>(Coldplay) &#8211; made by Janine Schipper</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-titel1-JanineSchipper-Coldplay-.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26528" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-titel1-JanineSchipper-Coldplay-.jpg" alt="" width="804" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-titel1-JanineSchipper-Coldplay-.jpg 804w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-titel1-JanineSchipper-Coldplay--300x187.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/10-titel1-JanineSchipper-Coldplay--768x478.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 804px) 100vw, 804px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Fly Like An Eagle</strong></em> (Steve Miller Band) &#8211; made by Monique Pol</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26529" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg" alt="" width="667" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg 667w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Art inspired by title + lyrics</strong></p>
<p>The next examples show art that uses not only the title, but include (some of the) lyrics too.</p>
<p><em><strong>Titles</strong></em> (Barclay James Harvest) &#8211; made by Herma Starreveld. (The lyrics of this song are all Beatles-song titles, merged to form a new story&#8230;)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/12-titel2-her-BarclayJamesHarves.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26530" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/12-titel2-her-BarclayJamesHarves.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="573" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/12-titel2-her-BarclayJamesHarves.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/12-titel2-her-BarclayJamesHarves-300x215.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/12-titel2-her-BarclayJamesHarves-768x550.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Appleknockers Flophouse</strong></em> (Cuby and the Blizzards) &#8211; made by me/Marit. (Years ago, a friend gave me an art flyer she took from a gallery. There was an image on the cover that made me think: &#8220;now that looks like an &#8216;Appleknockers Flophouse!&#8217; Not that I knew what an &#8216;appleknocker flophouse&#8217; was and I have no idea where I got the association from&#8230; it just felt that way. Years later, I used the image on this art journal spread.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/13-titel2-lyric-appleknockersfloph.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26531" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/13-titel2-lyric-appleknockersfloph.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="633" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/13-titel2-lyric-appleknockersfloph.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/13-titel2-lyric-appleknockersfloph-300x237.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/13-titel2-lyric-appleknockersfloph-768x608.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Art inspired by the content and meaning of the song</strong><strong>.<br />

<p><strong><em>Where is the Love</em></strong> (Black Eyed Peas) &#8211; made by Yvonne Calliber. (A song about a world issue/matter&#8230; Yvonne wrote part of the lyrics around the border. The image &#8211; collage and doodles &#8211; reinforces the text.)</p>

<p><strong><em>You&#8217;re The Inspiration</em></strong> (Chicago) &#8211; made by me/Marit (Minimalistic but powerful: lyrics from his favorite band as a declaration of love on the page.)</p>

<p><strong><em>For What It&#8217;s Worth</em></strong> (Buffalo Springfield) &#8211; made by Michelle LaPoint Rydell (This song, from 1966, is about student demonstrations and protests in the USA. It can be seen as a so-called anti-war song. Michelle shows how it is still very current today.)</p>

<p><strong>Art inspired by songs that evoke a personal memory or has therapeutic value.</strong></p>
<p>Can you relate to this: you hear a song on the radio and suddenly you&#8217;re back in time &#8220;this is the song that my mother always sang. That&#8217;s the song they played at Summer camp. Oh, and that song was high in the charts when I&#8230; (you name it.)  These memories that go with a certain song are great to put on paper. Create for example a scrapbook lay out and use photos picturing the time your memory/the song is about, or make an art journal page like I did (see below.)</p>
<p><em><strong>Domino</strong> </em>(Clouseau) &#8211; made by me/Marit (the journaling is in Dutch but I translated it to English once. You can read it in <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/sneak-peek-top-2000-flashback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this old blogpost</a>.)</p>

<p><em><strong>Oh Well</strong></em> (Fleetwood Mac) &#8211; made by me/Marit. (At the end of 2013, after a very difficult year, I got rid of all the frustration by jotting it down on this art journal spread. I covered (most) of the journaling with this Fleetwood Mac title, to relativize and &#8216;leave it all behind&#8217;.</p>

<p>You can create something WITH (inspired by) music, as I showed above, but you can also&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Create TO the music.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a short tutorial that I posted years ago on my blog&#8230;</p>
<p>Take a background (paper, canvas) that you like to work on. I taped a big piece of blank paper onto cardboard and placed it on my easel.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14350 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="01-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="500" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m-214x300.jpg 214w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>I then put some paint on my palet. At this point, I did not know what music would be my inspiration, so I chose random colours that spoke to me at that moment.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14351 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="02-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="700" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 700w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m-300x214.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>I decided to work with a palet-knife but you can choose whatever material or tool you like: brush and paint, pencils, crayons, pens and so on…</p>
<p>Now that my materials were in place, I was ready to go so I turned on the radio. I had no idea what music would be on. The radio played a song I never heard before and I just went with it. I started to smear paint on the paper to the rhythm of the song.</p>
<p>This is the image I ended up with… created to the tune with paint and a palet knife.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14354" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="705" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m-212x300.jpg 212w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>The fun thing about this way of creating is, that the song does not need to have lyrics. You can even put on a cd with classical music – or hiphop, or house music… anything goes.</p>
<p>After I’d created this background, I got curious to what the song had been all about… so I looked on the internet and found the playlist of the radio station. The song was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5WyAjL1MM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Waves by Mr. Probz</a>, a Dutch rapper/artist I did not know. I had not thought he was a rapper, as the song does not sound like ‘rap’ to me – I kinda like it even!</p>
<p>I also found the lyrics of the song here and was surprised when I read those… I had used just the right ‘watery’ colours! Then, I saw an image of a lighthouse and a boat (sail) popping out to me from the background, so I scribbled with a crayon and did some machine stitching to bring those shapes out.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14356 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="04-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="500" height="652" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>The lighthouse deserved more attention, so I cut out the shape from old dictionary pages, sprayed a bit of ink on it and glued it onto the page. I added a moon (or is it a sun?) and I journaled part of the lyrics on top of it.</p>
<p>Here’s the final piece.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14357 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="05-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="618" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 618w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s another way to get inspired by music!</p>
<ul>
<li>Do you have an ol&#8217;time favorite artist or song? Go create something about that!</li>
<li>Is there a song that evokes memories? (whatever the song or memory; it&#8217;s all worth getting it on paper. Both the insignificent memories as well as the &#8216;heavy&#8217;ones connected with your first kiss, wedding, birth, death&#8230;)</li>
<li>What lullaby was sang to you when you were a little child, or what song do you sing to your (grand) children?</li>
<li>Were you a special fan of a certain band or did you had a crush on a musician when you were a teenager? Were you the one with posters on the wall and scrap books filled with photos and articles about your faves? We&#8217;d love to see that!</li>
<li>Did you visit (then and now) musical festivals and concerts? Create about it (you can use photos, tickets et. cetera.)</li>
<li>What song was <a href="https://www.thisdayinmusic.com/birthday-no1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the No. 1 song on the day you were born</a>?</li>
<li>Check out the music that was in the charts in your teenage years&#8230; remember the songs? (When in the USA: <a href="https://www.billboard.com/archive/charts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Billboard Charts Archive</a>  When in the UK: browse the archives on the <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/3086/uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">UK Full Official Chart History</a> website.)</li>
<li>Do you want to get in the Top 2000 party-mood already? <a href="https://www.nporadio2.nl/top2000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>&#8216;s the Top 2000 list that we worked with last year, for your inspiration. (If you create with a song that is in the 2019 list also &#8211; which will be online by the end of this year &#8211; you can also submit it to the Top 2000 blogparty in December!)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Good luck and have fun with this last Quirky post. Enjoy the rest of the Summer (or Winter, if you are on the other side of the world) and I hope to see you at the Top 2000 party in December, or elsewhere on the world wide web. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Love from Zeeland, the Netherlands! </strong></p>

Ik organiseer aan het eind van het jaar voor de elfde keer dit creatieve muziek feestje (&#8216;bij leven en welzijn&#8217; dan natuurlijk&#8230; maar ik moet wel écht helemaal plat liggen wil dat feest niet doorgaan&#8230; het is voor mij zo&#8217;n beetje het hoogtepunt van het jaar!)

Laten we dat doen&#8230; als voorproefje op de Top 2000 of gewoon voor de leuk, om de Quirky blogserie lekker vrolijk af te sluiten. Akkoord? Daar gaan we&#8230;!!!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #10. Creatief met (en op) muziek<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Ik wed dat er bijna niemand op de wereld te vinden is die niet op één of andere manier gegrepen wordt door muziek. Muziek doet zoveel met onze emoties: we worden er blij, verdrietig of weemoedig van. Een liedje of klassiek muziekstuk kan ons doen terugwerpen in de tijd, ons doen terugdenken aan een bepaalde periode in ons leven, een gebeurtenis of een bepaald persoon, en we hebben allemaal zo onze voorkeuren voor een bepaald muziek genre.</p>
<p>Verschillende studies tonen aan dat vooral de muziek uit onze tienerjaren de sterkste emoties oproepen. Dat is niet zo vreemd, gezien het feit dat dát de jaren zijn waarin we onze eigen identiteit vormen, nadenken over onze toekomst en op eigen benen gaan staan. Die belangrijke jaren van groei en verandering gaan vaak vergezeld van muziek: muziek die tot ons komt via radio en tv. Muziek die wordt gedraaid in onze favoriete uitgaansgelegenheid. YouTube filmpjes online en niet te vergeten: muziek waar vrienden naar luisteren.  In onze tienerjaren leggen we de basis voor wat we later de &#8216;soundtrack van ons leven&#8217; zouden kunnen noemen.</p>
<p>Wat zeker tot MIJN &#8216;soundtrack van mijn leven&#8217; behoort is Leonard Cohen. Toen ik net had ontdekt bij welke creatieve stroming mijn hart ligt &#8211; &#8216;art journaling&#8217; &#8211; maakt ik mijn eerste art journal in 2009 n.a.v. een aantal liedteksten van deze singer-songwriter. Zie hier de ***<a href="http://www.maritspaperworld.com/old-blog/?p=2793" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">allereerste &#8216;bewuste&#8217; art journal spread</a> die ik ooit maakte. (***ik werkte voor die tijd soms wel in kleine boekjes, maar noemde dat mini-albums, het waren dan ook meer een soort van scrapbook-boekjes dan art journals&#8230;)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26516" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="538" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me-300x202.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/02-leonard-cohen-dance-me-768x516.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik bond alle &#8220;Leonard Cohen&#8221; pagina&#8217;s in tot een boek (of, nou ja, binden? Dit is een zgn. &#8216;altered boek.&#8217; Ik werkte op de oude, uitgesloopte pagina&#8217;s en plakte deze later weer in de bewerkte kaft &#8211; ik wist nog niet hoe ik moest boekbinden&#8230;)</p>

<p>Het volgende &#8216;muziek-journal&#8217; waar ik aan begon bestond uit oude elpee-hoezen (kijk eens in de bakken op rommelmarkten of kringloopwinkels voor mooie album covers) aangevuld met extra stukken karton, aan elkaar gezet met duct tape en ge-gessoed. De kartonnen bladzijden (sommige zijn &#8216;halve hoezen&#8217;) vouwen alle kanten op.</p>

<p>Ik ben dus nogal eens geïnspireerd door muziek, en ik ben niet de enige. Sinds 2009 houd ik dan ook elk jaar een &#8216;Top 2000 blogparty&#8217; &#8211; die lijst is een bron van inspiratie &#8211; en in de jaren die volgden bond ik ieder jaar een apart &#8216;Top 2000&#8217; boekje. Het is al een hele stapel!</p>

<p>Dat waren een paar willekeurige voorbeelden &#8211; laten we nu wat dieper ingaan op het creëren n.a.v. muziek want er zijn verschillende manieren waarop je geïnspireerd kunt worden.</p>
<p><strong>Werk geïnspireerd op de artiest</strong></p>
<p>Ben je fan van een bepaalde zanger? Vind je &#8216;de uitstraling&#8217; van een zanger, zangeres of band gewoon mooi? Je hoeft niet persé van de muziek te houden (maar het mag natuurlijk wel) om je er door te laten inspireren&#8230; kijk maar:</p>
<p><em><strong>Jimi Hendrix</strong></em> &#8211; gemaakt door Lena Schreijenberg</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-26526 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg" alt="" width="697" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH.jpg 697w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/08-artiest-LenaSchreijenberg-JimiH-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Amy Winehouse</strong></em> &#8211; gemaakt door Charlotte Kums</p>

<p><strong>Werk geïnspireerd op de titel</strong></p>
<p>Soms is de titel van een liedje al inspirerend genoeg. Je hoeft niet eens het liedje te horen om er &#8216;iets mee te kunnen&#8217;&#8230;</p>
<p><strong><em>Clocks</em> </strong>(Coldplay)  &#8211; gemaakt door Janine Schipper</p>

<p><em><strong>Fly Like An Eagle</strong></em> (Steve Miller Band) &#8211; gemaakt door Monique Pol</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26529" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg" alt="" width="667" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle.jpg 667w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/11-titel1-MoniquePol-SteveMillerBand-FlyLikeAnEagle-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Werk geïnspireerd op de titel</strong> <strong>+ de inhoud</strong></p>
<p>Het volgende werk gaat iets verder dan alleen de titel &#8211; hierin is ook (een deel van de) inhoud/lyrics meegenomen in de verwerking</p>
<p><em><strong>Titles</strong></em> (Barclay James Harvest) &#8211; gemaakt door Herma Starreveld. (Dit liedje bestaat geheel uit titels van Beatles-songs, achter elkaar gezet&#8230;)</p>

<p><em><strong>Appleknockers Flophouse</strong></em> (Cuby and the Blizzards) &#8211; gemaakt door mij/Marit.  (Ooit kreeg ik van een vriendin een folder met dit kunstwerk erop&#8230; op het moment dat ik het plaatje zag dacht ik: &#8220;dat is nou een &#8216;appleknockers flophouse!'&#8221; Geen idee wat een &#8216;appleknockers flophouse&#8217; eigenlijk is of waar die associatie vandaan kwam, maar jaren later verwerkte ik de afbeelding op onderstaande pagina&#8217;s)</p>

<p><strong>Werk geïnspireerd op de </strong><strong>inhoud, de &#8216;betekenis&#8217; van een liedje.<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Where is the Love</em></strong> (Black Eyed Peas) &#8211; gemaakt door Yvonne Calliber. (Een &#8216;wereldvraagstuk&#8217; &#8211; een deel van de lyrics zijn rondom geschreven, de afbeelding &#8211; collage en doodles &#8211; versterken de tekst.)</p>

<p><strong><em>For What It&#8217;s Worth</em></strong> (Buffalo Springfield) &#8211; gemaakt door Michelle LaPoint Rydell (Dit liedje stamt uit 1966 en gaat over demonstraties en studentenprotesten in Amerika, een zogenaamd &#8216;anti-war&#8217; liedje &#8211; Michelle laat zien hoe actueel het ook deze dagen nog is.)</p>

<p><strong>Werk geïnspireerd op liedjes waar een persoonlijke herinnering aan kleeft of die therapeutisch werken<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Dat hebben we toch allemaal? Je hoort een liedje op de radio en ineens ben je terug in de tijd: &#8220;dat is het liedje dat mijn moeder altijd meezong. Dat is het liedje dat ze speelden op zomerkamp. Dat is het liedje dat een hit was toen ik&#8230;.&#8221; Enfin, vul maar in! Ook zo&#8217;n herinnering kun je verwerken in bijvoorbeeld een scrapbook layout (met foto&#8217;s uit die tijd) of art journal spread.</p>
<p><em><strong>Domino</strong> </em>(Clouseau) &#8211; gemaakt door mij/Marit (de tekst op deze pagina is in het Nederlands maar misschien lastig te lezen. De Engelse vertaling kun je <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/sneak-peek-top-2000-flashback/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in deze oude blogpost</a> teruglezen.)</p>

<p><em><strong>Oh Well</strong></em> (Fleetwood Mac) &#8211; gemaakt door mij/Marit. (Eind 2013 schreef ik een moeilijk jaar van me af op deze pagina&#8230; zo, dat is eruit! Eroverheen de titel van dit Fleetwood Mac nummer, ter relativering én om het jaar &#8216;achter me te laten&#8217;.)</p>

<p>Je kunt iets maken NAAR AANLEIDING VAN muziek, zoals ik hierboven liet zien, maar je kunt ook nog</p>
<p><strong>Creëren OP muziek.</strong></p>
<p>Hier een korte tutorial die ik al eens eerder op mijn blog zette&#8230;</p>
<p>Neem een achtergrond (papier, canvas) waar je op wilt gaan werken. Ik plakte een vel papier op een ezel&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14350 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="01-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="500" height="700" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m-214x300.jpg 214w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Vervolgens deed ik wat verf op mijn palet. Ik wist nog niet welke muziek mij zou gaan inspireren, dus ik nam wat kleuren die me op dat moment aanspraken.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14351 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="02-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="700" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 700w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m-300x214.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik besloot met een palet-mes te gaan werken, maar je kunt natuurlijk ook met een kwast of met andere materialen aan de gang: potlood, pennen, krijt etc.</p>
<p>Staat je materiaal klaar? Zet dan de radio aan (of laat iemand anders muziek opzetten zonder dat jij weet wat het gaat worden.)<br />
In mijn geval speelde er een liedje op de radio dat ik nog nooit had gehoord. Ik begon op gevoel, en met het ritme mee, verf op mijn blad te smeren. Na afloop zag het er zó uit&#8230;</p>

<p>Als je op deze manier werkt luister je alleen naar de muziek. Je kunt hiervoor dus ook een instrumentaal en/of klassiek stuk muziek gebruiken.</p>
<p>Nadat ik de achtergrond had geschilderd werd ik nieuwsgierig naar wat dat liedje nu was geweest&#8230; ik vond het terug op de playlist van het betreffende radio-station: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5WyAjL1MM" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Waves by Mr. Probz</a> Ik vond ook de songtekst en was blij verrast: ik had toevallig de juiste &#8211; waterachtige &#8211; kleuren gekozen! Ik keek nog eens beter naar mijn werk en zag in de vormen een vuurtoren en een boot. Met krijt accentueerde ik deze beelden en ik gebruikte zelfs mijn naaimachine voor wat extra textuur.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-14356 size-full" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg" alt="04-sept2013-create-to-the-m" width="500" height="652" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m-230x300.jpg 230w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>De vuurtoren kwam er nog niet genoeg uit naar mijn zin, dus ik vulde de vorm in met stukken uit een woordenboek gescheurde pagina&#8217;s. Ik voegde een &#8216;zon&#8217; toe (of is het de maan?) sprayde wat inkt en schreef een deel van de lied-tekst over het werk.</p>

<p>Je laten inspireren door muziek? Zo kan het dus ook!</p>
<p><strong>Nog wat ideeën en links om je op weg te helpen</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Je favoriete artiest of liedje: doe er iets mee!</li>
<li>Verwerk een liedje dat verbonden is met een herinnering (dat kunnen &#8216;kleine, onbeduidende&#8217; herinneringen zijn maar je kunt ook denken aan muziek die hoort bij &#8216;grote momenten&#8217; zoals eerste zoen, trouwdag, geboorte, dood&#8230;)</li>
<li>Welk wiegeliedje werd er voor jou gezongen of zong/zing jij voor je (klein)kind?</li>
<li>Was je een &#8216;echte fan&#8217; of vreselijk verliefd op een muzikant/band in je tienerjaren? Zo&#8217;n fan met plakboeken, posters aan de muur en buttons op je jas? Laat zien!</li>
<li>Ging/ga je naar muziek festivals of concerten? Verwerk je ervaringen (eventueel met foto&#8217;s, tickets etc.)</li>
<li>Welk liedje stond er op 1 in de <a href="https://www.top40.nl/geboortedag-hit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">top 40 hitlijst op je geboortedag</a>? (als je geboren bent in of na 1965***)</li>
<li>Muziek uit onze tienerjaren roepen soms sterke herinneringen en emoties op &#8211; welke liedjes stonden in de Top 40 lijsten toen jij 12-13-14-15-16-17 was? <a href="https://www.hitdossier.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hitdossier</a> (type gewenste datum &#8211; ~ in of ná 1965 ~ in zoekvenster.)</li>
<li>Alvast in de Top 2000 stemming komen? De lijst van afgelopen jaar vind je <a href="https://www.nporadio2.nl/top2000" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIER</a> (en mocht je gekozen liedje dit jaar wéér in de lijst voorkomen, dan kun je je werk eind van het jaar mooi inzenden tijdens de Top 2000 blogparty!)</li>
</ul>
<p>*** De ouderen onder ons moeten wat extra moeite doen&#8230; ik kwam met de zoektermen &#8216;<em>hitlijst nederland oktober 1963</em>&#8216; op <a href="http://www.hitsallertijden.nl/hitdossier60/hitparade/nederland/Hits%20of%20the%20world/1963.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">een pagina</a> waar ik kon achterhalen dat de nr. 1 hit op mijn geboortedag &#8220;Cimeroni&#8221; van Anneke Gronloh was&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Veel succes en plezier met deze laatste Quirky post &#8211; geniet nog van de zomer en wie weet zie ik je bij de Top 2000 party in december, of ergens anders (online of misschien in &#8216;t echt&#8230;) </strong></p>
<p><strong>Liefs uit Zeeland! </strong></p>

<h4><strong>Guest blogger: Tracey Fairgrieve<br />
</strong></h4>
<p>I know Tracey also via WOYWW (see <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-2019-8-guest-zsuzsa-karoly-smith/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">previous Quirky post</a>) and I visit her blog for many years now. Tracey is a versatile woman: she stamps, creates art journals, draws, sews, alters &#8230; She amazes and surprises me regularly with creations that she gave some sort of &#8216;twist&#8217; and she shares solutions for creative &#8216;problems&#8217; that, when I read it, make me think &#8220;why on earth didn&#8217;t I think about that myself?&#8221; I love quirky artists like that and Tracey certainly is one! You know what I also like about Tracey? She takes her creativity seriously. I planned an earlier date for her guest post but she asked me if I could move her post to a later date, as she had an idea for a tutorial and wanted to take enough time to work it out. She&#8217;s not the type to cobble it together quickly and she stands tall for the things she does and creates. I love that! And you will too, because her work resulted in this great tutorial and her beautiful art to illustrate the whole.</p>

<p>WHO IS TRACEY?</p>
<p>A bit about me: As long as I can remember I have loved to be creative, draw, paint, sew, mixing it all up using different surfaces and media. Married Mum of three as a former Community worker I helped support Parents with pre-school children, engaging and promoting the importance of creativity throughout those early developmental years. Now as a carer I spend my free time creating and sharing a fraction of it all via blogger. I&#8217;m very lucky to be under the creative wing of two fabulous Design Teams that allow my passion for portraiture and album making to grow.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #9. Rag book page (collage with fabrics)<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Each Summertime I reflect back on my childhood with fond memories of past Summer holidays spent on the picturesque English South Devon Coast. I loved the unlimited freedom I was given as a child whilst on holiday, unlike the restrictions and tight hold that City life had on me back home. These holidays allowed me to breath, gave me a chance to explore and embrace the slow pace of their bohemian way of life. I know those days helped me find and develop my creative spirit. I&#8217;m here today to share a page from my handmade A4 Rag Book, inspired by those days gone by&#8230;</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it came to be&#8230; Step by Step:</p>
<p>The beauty of a rag book is it&#8217;s simplicity.<br />
Folded fabric pinned together gives you a blank canvas.</p>
<p>Working on calico my hand drawn face is painted using fabric paints, spritzed and mixed with water until I was happy with the blend and skin tone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26452" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>A simple sketch gives me my background guidelines although my designs often change throughout it&#8217;s progress. With my face and upper torso cut ready to sew down in place please do not be fooled by her blue outfit, I always cover up the modesty of my figures until I&#8217;ve decided how to transform them.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26453" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Printed napkins create quick and effective backgrounds. This beach hut napkin really helped create the backbone of my seaside theme. How I longed to own one of those colourful huts along the beach. Onto the calico I glued down the printed top ply of the napkin using fabric glue, then began cutting and layering my fabrics ready to collage.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26454" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Never be afraid to mix and match fabrics of different weights, it all helps create texture and adds to it&#8217;s interest.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26455" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>With her upper torso painted ready for that Summer sun I found amongst the fabric the perfect pieces to create a summer outfit. Pinned into place I machine stitched around the figure.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26456" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Hand dyed twisted string and Sari silk yarns forms her untamed hair with a little machine stitch helping to make her facial features pop. I couldn&#8217;t resist adding beads and that starfish pin to her hair.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26457" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Cork, beads and frayed threads add an organic feel to the beach along with both machine and hand stitch.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26458" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Opulent fabrics, sequins and beads add those final embellishments and make this sun shine even brighter.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26459" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Completing my Quirky Summer Rag Book page&#8230;</p>
<p>A Rag Book for all ages, what I really love about creating these books is the flexibility to add, take away and rearranged the pages at any time. Tactile and interactive allowing me to make my own mark and tell my story any way I choose.</p>
<p>If you have never made a rag book I hope with these simple steps they may inspire you too dip your toes and give it a go..</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26460" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: </strong><strong>Tracey Fairgrieve</strong></h4>
<p>Ook Tracey heb ik leren kennen via WOYWW (zie <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-2019-8-guest-zsuzsa-karoly-smith/#nederlandsqds201908">vorige Quirky post</a>) en ik bezoek haar blog dus alweer heel wat jaartjes. Tracey is een veelzijdige vrouw: ze stempelt, art journalt, tekent, naait, altert&#8230; ze verbaast en verrast me regelmatig met creaties die nét even een andere twist hebben, of met oplossingen voor creatieve &#8216;problemen&#8217; waarvan ik dan denk &#8220;waarom heb ik dat zelf niet bedacht?&#8221; Ik hou van eigenzinnige kunstenaars en Tracey is er zo eentje! Wat ik ook zo fijn vind aan Tracey: ze neemt haar werk serieus. Ik had haar gastles eerder in deze serie gepland, maar ze liet me al snel weten dat ze in tijdnood zou komen en of ik haar gast post kon verplaatsen, want ze had een idee en dat wilde ze goed uitwerken en niet zomaar even snel in elkaar flansen. Kijk, dat is nog eens stáán voor de dingen die je doet. Het resultaat is er ook naar, want ze schreef voor jullie een geweldige tutorial met een prachtig werk om het geheel te illustreren.</p>

<p>WIE IS TRACEY?</p>
<p>Iets over mij: zolang ik me kan herinneren hield ik ervan om creatief bezig te zijn: tekenen, schilderen, naaien en het combineren van dat alles op verschillende ondergronden. Als getrouwde vrouw en moeder van drie kinderen was ik in mijn werkzame leven een maatschappelijk werkster. Ik gaf ondersteuning aan ouders van peuters en kleuters. Tijdens mijn werk stimuleerde en bevorderde ik zoveel mogelijk de creativiteit van mensen, omdat creativiteit al op jonge leeftijd belangrijk is in de ontwikkeling van kinderen. Op het moment ben ik mantelzorger en besteed ik mijn vrije zoveel mogelijk op een creatieve manier. Een deel van mijn werk publiceer ik op mijn blog. Ik mag me verder gelukkig prijzen dat ik onder de creatieve vleugels van twee Design Teams mag werken, wat mijn passie voor portretten en boekjes/albums maken nog heeft doen groeien.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #9. Stoffen boek-pagina (collage met textiel)<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Elke zomer denk ik weer terug aan mijn kindertijd en de mooie herinneringen die ik heb aan zomervakanties die we doorbrachten aan de pittoreske Engelse kust van South Devon. Ik hield van de onbeperkte vrijheid die ik als kind kreeg als we op vakantie waren. Dit in tegenstelling tot de beperkingen die het wonen in een stad met zich meebracht als we weer thuis waren. De vakantie stond me toe om vrij te ademen. Die dagen aan de kust gaven me de kans om op pad te gaan om de omgeving te verkennen en ik omarmde het trage tempo en de Boheemse leefwijze die over ons kwam. Die vakanties aan de kust hebben mij geholpen om mijn creatieve geest vinden en ontwikkelen. Vandaag deel ik met jullie mijn handgemaakte A4 &#8216;lappen-boek&#8217; dat is geïnspireerd op deze lang-vervlogen vakantiedagen&#8230;</p>
<p>Ik laat jullie zien hoe de pagina tot stand komt, stap voor stap.</p>
<p>De schoonheid van zo&#8217;n &#8216;lappen&#8217; boek zit hem in de eenvoud. Een gevouwen lap stof (zet &#8216;t even vast met spelden) vormt de ondergrond; je &#8216;blanco pagina&#8217;.</p>
<p>Ik werk op een stuk ongebleekt katoen en start met het tekenen van een gezicht. Ik gebruik daarvoor textiel-verf dat ik mix met water om de kleuren in elkaar over te laten vloeien. Ik werk net zo lang door tot de kleuren naar mijn zin zijn.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26452" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS1-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Van te voren had ik al een eenvoudige schets gemaakt die ik als referentie gebruik, hoewel het ontwerp tijdens het proces nogal eens verandert. Op de foto ligt haar hoofd (en een stukje van haar lichaam) klaar om op de achtergrond te naaien. Laat je niet foppen door die blauwe outfit&#8230; ik wil mijn meisje niet bloot laten dus ik geef haar even een soort van kledingstuk aan. Ik beslis later hoe haar kleding eruit moet zien, en dat komt er dan overheen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26453" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS2-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Bedrukte/gedessineerde servetten zijn ideaal om een snelle en effectieve achtergrond te creëren. Deze servet, met de afbeelding van strandhuisjes, vond ik helemaal passen bij mijn vakantie-thema en oh, wat zou ik graag zelf zo&#8217;n gekleurd huisje aan het strand bezitten! Ik gebruik textiel-lijm om de bovenste (bedrukte) laag van het servet op de ondergrond te lijmen. Daarna knip ik allerlei stukjes textiel uit en begin in laagjes mijn collage op te bouwen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26454" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS3-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Wees niet bang om allerlei verschillende stoffen door elkaar te gebruiken. Dik, dun, (half) doorzichtig, in diverse kleuren en dessins: samengevoegd zorgt het voor textuur en een interessant beeld.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26455" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS4-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Haar bovenlichaam verf ik nu ook huidkleurig en ik vind precies het juiste stukje stof om haar een zomerse outfit te geven. Daarna gebruik ik de naaimachine om de grootste stukken (de &#8216;zon&#8217; en het meisjes-figuur) op de ondergrond vast te naaien.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26456" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS5-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Hand geverfd dik katoenen en zijden garens geven haar haar ongetemde haardos en een paar extra (naaimachine) steken zorgen ervoor dat haar gelaatstrekken ook beter uitkomen. Ik kon het niet laten om kralen een een zeester-speld aan haar kapsel toe te voegen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26457" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS6-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Stukken kurk, kralen, versleten stukjes stof en draden&#8230; dit alles samengevoegd en met de machine en/of met de hand vastgenaaid, zorgen voor een &#8216;organisch strand&#8217; gevoel.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26458" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS7-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik voeg weelderige stoffen, pailletten, kralen en allerlei andere versieringen toe, zodat mijn zon nog helderder gaat schijnen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26459" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS8-768x768.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En zo komt mijn Quirky Summer stoffen pagina tot stand&#8230;</p>
<p>Een &#8216;lappen boekje&#8217; voor elke leeftijd! Ik hou van dit soort stoffen boekjes omdat ze flexibel zijn. Niet alleen het materiaal is flexibel, het is ook makkelijk om later dingen van de &#8216;pagina&#8217;s&#8217; af te halen of toe te voegen. Een stoffen boekje is tactiel en interactief, omdat je er mee bezig kunt blijven. Ik kan op deze manier mijn eigen verhaal op mijn eigen manier vertellen en steeds verder uitbreiden.</p>
<p>Als je nog nooit een boekje van stof hebt gemaakt, dan hoop ik dat deze uitleg en simpele stappen je geïnspireerd hebben om je er eens aan te wagen&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26460" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/QDS9-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Dank je wel, dat je een deel van je dag met mij hier hebt doorgebracht, het was me een waar genoegen om mee te doen met Quirky Dutch Summer.</p>

<h4><strong>Guest blogger: Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith (Inky Dinky Doodle)<br />
</strong></h4>
<p>In February 2013 I started to post a photo of my &#8216;work desk&#8217; and I have been doing that (almost) every Wednesday from then on &#8211; joining  &#8220;WOYWW&#8221; (What&#8217;s On Your Workdesk, Wednesday) &#8211; a weekly, online &#8216;get together&#8217; hosted by Julia on her blog <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stamping Ground</a>. Part of the &#8216;event&#8217; is, that you visit the other participant&#8217;s links to have a look at their desk-photo&#8217;s and see what the other ladies are up to (rarely any man joins in.) I met a lot of lovely crafters during all those years of &#8216;desk hopping&#8217;, and one of them is Zsuzsa, who joined the WOYWW-tribe in September 2014 (yes, Zsuzsa, I found back <a href="http://inkydinkydoodle.blogspot.com/2014/09/woyww-276-bit-of-disaster.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">your first woyww-blogpost!</a>) I loved her work, her writing (and her cat Oreo!) right away. Besides her gorgeous mixed media and art journal art, Zsuzsa is the queen of &#8216;altered objects&#8217; and that is exactly what she presents to you in this Quirky post: an altered object. Have fun!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26401" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg 250w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a></p>
<p>WHO IS ZSUZSA?</p>
<p>Zsuzsa (Hungarian for Susan) started blogging in 2014 when the mixed media bug first bit her. Before discovering mixed media, she dabbled a little bit in scrapbooking but she wasn’t particularly artistic or creative. One day, she accidentally bumped into some mixed media videos on You Tube &#8211; she was amazed and hooked instantly! Zsuzsa likes to experiment with different art supplies and try out new techniques – the messier the better! She took some online courses in the first few years of her art journey, which helped develop her own grungy, constantly evolving style and she still finds infinite inspiration on YouTube and from fellow bloggers as well. She likes to upcycle everyday objects saved from the recycling bin, make mini journals and work in altered books. Zsuzsa lives with her husband, 14-year-old son and a black &amp; white cat in the UK.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #8. Altered Cotton Bud Containers<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>There’s nothing I find more satisfying than making use of objects that would otherwise be thrown away. I always look for sturdy packaging (boxes, bottles, tins) that are just too good to throw away and can easily be turned into art projects and useful storage containers. One of these useful objects that I religiously collect are these Johnson’s cotton bud containers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26393" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>They’re just the perfect size for storing small items like beads, charms, crayons, die-cuts, stamps, scraps, etc and you can easily alter them to give them that unmistakable mixed-media feel. I’ll show you a simple technique I used on five different textures.</p>
<p>This technique requires some basic supplies: white gesso, gel medium, acrylic inks (two colours are enough, but you can use more) and a little gilding wax (gold or copper/bronze works best).</p>
<p>(<span style="color: #993300;"><em>*~Marit~ I don&#8217;t know &#8216;gilding wax&#8217; but after I&#8217;d seen/read Zsuzsa&#8217;s tutorial I think you could maybe use gold- or copper metalic acrylic paint ass an alternative. I haven&#8217;t tried it though&#8230;)<br />

<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-eng.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26394" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-eng.jpg" alt="" width="745" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-eng.jpg 745w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-eng-279x300.jpg 279w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px" /></a></p>
<p>The first step is to decide what texture you want to create. I used the following five textures as an example, but the possibilities are endless:<br />
(1) crumpled tissue paper<br />
(2) corrugated cardboard<br />
(3) dry-wall tape (<em><span style="color: #993300;">~M~ with thanks to Andina ~ Drywall tape is some sort of stuck tape (glass fiber tape) that you can buy at the hardware store. It comes on a roll and is meant to connect drywalls and/or hide the holes.)</span><br />
</em>(4) embossed paper<br />
(5) die cut lace (<em><span style="color: #993300;">~M~ As an alternative you could use doilies as well</span></em>)<br />
(note: for No. 4 I used an old Tim Holtz Bingo embossing folder and for No 5. a Tim Holtz lace die from the new crochet set.)</p>
<p>Using the gel medium, stick your textures on the container and let them dry completely before covering it with a generous layer of white gesso.</p>
<p>This is how they looked at this stage – the tissue paper is not in the photo as that was my prototype and I forgot to photograph it during the process.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-eng.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26395" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-eng.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="642" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-eng.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-eng-300x241.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-eng-768x616.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>It’s important to let the gesso dry COMPLETELY before moving to the next step as the subsequent wet layer can lift the gesso if it’s not set properly.</p>
<p>So next, we’ll add some colour. I chose my two favourites: Prussian Blue and Sepia by Daler Rowney. These are highly pigmented acrylic inks and permanent when dry. I have tried using non-permanent inks (Dylusions and Distress inks/Oxides), but I never got good results with them for this technique as they usually fade of top of gesso. If you don’t have acrylic inks, you could try using acrylic paints, but you’ll get a slightly different look. The main thing is that you choose two colours that work well together – you could introduce a third colour too, but I wouldn’t go beyond that.</p>
<p>I usually apply the inks with a brush adding a bit of water to allow the colours to mix a little. If it’s too dark in places, you can dab it with a piece of tissue to soak up the excess ink. Once dry, this layer will be permanent. This is what it looks like at this stage. (again, the tissue texture is not pictured)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-eng.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26396" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-eng.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="701" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-eng.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-eng-300x263.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-eng-768x673.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Next, we’ll apply the gilding wax. A little goes a long way! We only want to highlight the raised areas. It’s best to use your fingers to do this, and it’s a good idea to dab the excess off before transferring it to the surface. Don’t forget to highlight the rims!</p>
<p>This photo shows all five of my containers, including the one with the tissue paper texture.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26397" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_05.jpg" alt="" width="932" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_05.jpg 932w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_05-300x161.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_05-768x412.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 932px) 100vw, 932px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You can stop at this point if you like, or you can add some finishing touches, like lace, washi tape, die-cuts, jewels, metal charms, ribbons, etc. Don’t overdo it though if you want to use the pots for practical storage, but if you want to display them as ornaments, you can go wild!</p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: </strong><strong>Zsuzsa Karoly-Smith </strong><strong>(Inky Dinky Doodle)</strong></h4>
<p>Jaren terug, om precies te zijn: in februari 2013, sloot ik me aan bij &#8220;WOYWW&#8221; (What&#8217;s On Your Workdesk, Wednesday.) Dit wekelijkse &#8216;bloghop-feestje&#8217; is ooit opgezet door Julia uit Engeland: op woensdag maken een aantal &#8216;crafters&#8217; uit allerlei stromingen (art journalers, scrap bookers, stempelaars, kaartenmaaksters, textiel-fanaten etc.) een foto van hun &#8216;werkblad&#8217; die ze op hun blog posten. Vervolgens laten ze de link achter op Julia&#8217;s blog <a href="http://stamping-ground.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stamping Ground</a> en dan kan de lol beginnen: we bezoeken de andere &#8216;deskers&#8217; om ons te verbazen over hun werk, hun &#8216;zootje&#8217; of juist &#8216;nette&#8217; werkplekken en ons te laten inspireren door de anderen. WOYWW is vrijblijvend en ik sla ook wel eens een week over, maar ik ben toch al die jaren tamelijk consequent foto&#8217;s van mijn &#8216;workdesk&#8217; blijven delen en de rest van de &#8216;deskers&#8217; blijven bezoeken. In September 2014 sloot Zsuzsa zich aan bij dit event (ja, ik zocht het na en vond <a href="http://inkydinkydoodle.blogspot.com/2014/09/woyww-276-bit-of-disaster.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">haar eerste woyww-blogpost</a>) en ik viel meteen op haar werk, haar manier van schrijven (en haar kat Oreo!) Zsuzsa inspireert velen met haar mixed media en art journal werk maar ze valt extra op met haar &#8216;altered&#8217; objecten. Ze is werkelijk een kanjer in het &#8216;alteren&#8217; (=  herscheppen, veranderen, vermaken) van spullen. In deze Quirky Dutch Summer post deelt ze haar kennis en laat ze je zien hoe je iets moois kunt maken van een oude &#8216;wattenstaaf-verpakking&#8217; (en kun je niet datzelfde doosje vinden in Nederland, dan vind je vast wel iets wat er op lijkt en ter vervanging gebruikt kan worden.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26401" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="250" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile.jpg 250w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/profile-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px" /></a></p>
<p>WIE IS ZSUZSA?</p>
<p>Zsuzsa (Hongaars voor Susan) werd in 2014 besmet door het mixed media virus en is toen ook begonnen met bloggen. Voor die tijd had ze zich wel een beetje bezig gehouden met scrapbooking, maar ze vond zichzelf nou niet echt artistiek of creatief. Totdat ze op een dag, per ongeluk, op YouTube een video vond over mixed media. Ze was meteen verkocht! Zsuzsa houdt ervan om te experimenteren met allerlei materialen en technieken &#8211;  en dan het liefst niet al te netjes. &#8216;Kliederen&#8217; dus. Ze volgde wat online workshops in die eerste jaren dat ze met mixed media begon, en dat hielp haar om haar eigen weg en stijl te vinden. Het is een zogenaamde &#8216;grungy&#8217; stijl (laat ik het maar vertalen als &#8216;smoezelig&#8217;) die zich nog steeds ontwikkeld. Zsuzsa kan nog altijd enthousiast worden van YouTube filmpjes en ze noemt ook &#8216;andere bloggers&#8217; als een nooit aflatende bron van inspiratie. Ze vindt het heerlijk om &#8216;gewone&#8217; alledaagse objecten zoals verpakkingen om te toveren tot iets moois, om boeken te &#8216;alteren&#8217; en mini journaaltjes te maken. Zsuzsa woont in Groot-Brittannië samen met haar man, haar 14-jarige zoon en haar zwart-witte kat.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #8. Veranderen en hergebruiken van wattenstaaf (of andere) verpakkingen<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Er is niets dat me meer voldoening geeft dan het hergebruiken van objecten die anders zouden worden weggegooid. Ik ben altijd op zoek naar stevige verpakkingen (dozen, flessen, blikjes) die gewoon te goed zijn om in de vuilnisbak te gooien. Het is toch heerlijk om die dingen te bewerken, en er een mooie nieuwe invulling aan te geven?! Een van die &#8216;nuttige&#8217; verpakkingen die ik lichtelijk obsesief verzamel zijn de Johnson&#8217;s wattenstaaf-doosjes. (<em><span style="color: #993300;">~Marit~</span></em> <span style="color: #993300;"><em>Ik weet niet of deze doosjes in Nederland te koop zijn &#8211; je kunt als alternatief natuurlijk een ander doosje of misschien zelfs blikjes zoeken.</em></span>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26393" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Deze doosjes zijn perfect van grootte om kleine voorwerpjes, zoals kralen, steentjes, kleurpotloodjes etc. in te bewaren. Ik laat je zien hoe je ze zó bewerkt dat ze die onmiskenbare &#8216;mixed media feel&#8217; krijgen. De techniek is eenvoudig en ik laat je vijf verschillende &#8216;texturen&#8217; zien die allemaal hun eigen uitstraling hebben.</p>
<p>Je hebt voor deze techiek een paar basis materialen nodig: witte gesso, gel medium, acryl inkt (twee kleuren zijn genoeg, je kunt er echter meer gebruiken) en een beetje *&#8217;gilding wax&#8217; (goud of koper/brons werkt het best.)</p>
<p>(<em><span style="color: #993300;">*~Marit~ &#8220;Gilding&#8221; = vergulden. Ik ken deze &#8216;wax&#8217; niet maar vond wat meer over &#8216;gilding wax&#8217; <a style="color: #993300;" href="https://www.coosacreatief.nl/c-3231492/gilding-wax/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIER</a></span>. <span style="color: #993300;">Na het bekijken/lezen van deze tutorial denk ik dat je ook met goud- of koperkleurige metalic acryl verf zo&#8217;n zelfde effect wel ongeveer kunt bereiken&#8230; ik heb dat echter niet uitgetest.</span></em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-ned.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26428" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-ned.jpg" alt="" width="745" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-ned.jpg 745w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_02-ned-279x300.jpg 279w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px" /></a></p>
<p>Allereerst moet je beslissen welke structuur je wilt gaan maken. Ik gebruikte de volgende vijf structuren als voorbeeld, maar de mogelijkheden zijn eindeloos:<br />
(1) verfrommeld tissue- of vloeipapier<br />
(2) golfkarton<br />
(3) &#8216;dry-wall&#8217; tape (<em><span style="color: #993300;">~M~ Met dank aan Andina ~ </span><span dir="ltr" style="color: #993300;"><span class="_3l3x">Drywall tape is stuctape (glasvezeltape) dat je bij de bouwmarkt kunt kopen. Het zit op een rol en is bedoeld om gipsplaten te verbinden of gaatjes te verbergen.)</span></span></em><br />
(4) embossed (reliëf) papier<br />
(5) &#8216;die cut&#8217; kant (<em>~M~</em> <span style="color: #993300;"><em>papier waar een kant-patroon uit is gestanst. Denk &#8216;gebaks-onderzetters&#8217; &#8211; de zgn &#8216;doilies.&#8217; Je zou ook een stukje stof/kant kunnen nemen.</em></span>)</p>
<p>(Opmerking: voor No. 4 gebruikte ik een oude &#8220;Tim Holtz Bingo embossing folder&#8221; en voor No 5. een &#8220;<a href="https://www.scrapbookdepot.nl/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/30096/osCsid/4bapla89uuu13pc1h2gfipunj3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tim Holtz lace die</a>&#8221; uit de &#8216;crochet&#8217; collectie.)</p>
<p>Gebruik gel medium om je textuur op het doosje te plakken en laat het volledig drogen voordat je er een dikke laag gesso overheen smeert.</p>
<p>Hieronder zie je hoe het er na deze fase uit ziet &#8211; het doosje nr. 1 (vloeipapier) staat niet op deze foto want ik gebruikte die als prototype en en vergat het te fotograferen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-ned.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26431" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-ned.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="642" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-ned.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-ned-300x241.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_03-ned-768x616.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Het is echt belangrijk om de gesso volledig te laten drogen voordat je naar de volgende stap gaat! Als de gesso nog niet geheel droog is, zal deze los laten als je aan de volgende bewerking begint.</p>
<p>Vervolgens gaan we kleur toevoegen. Ik koos zelf voor mijn favoriete kleuren: <em>Prussian Blue</em> en <em>Sepia</em> van Saler Rowney. (<span style="color: #993300;"><em>~M~</em></span> <span style="color: #993300;"><em>In Nederland kun je acryl-inkt o.a. van</em> <a style="color: #993300;" href="https://www.royaltalens.com/nl-nl/merken/amsterdam/acrylic-ink/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Royal Talens Amsterdam</a> vinden.</span>) Acryl inkten zijn goed gepigmenteerde inkten die niet meer afgeven als ze droog zijn. Ik heb ook andere, niet permanente, inkten gebruikt (Dylusions en Distress inkten) maar die bleken niet zo geschikt voor deze techniek. Ze blijven werken met &#8216;vocht&#8217; (er komt tenslotte nog een laag overheen) en de kleuren vervagen ook nogal als je ze op gesso gebruikt. Je kunt i.p.v. acryl inkt ook acryl verf gebruiken, dan ziet het eindresultaat er net iets anders uit. Het belangrijkste is dat de twee kleuren die je gaat gebruiken goed bij elkaar passen &#8211; je zou zelfs een derde kleur erbij kunnen zoeken maar meer zou ik zeker niet nemen.</p>
<p>Ik gebruik meestal een kwast om de inkt aan te brengen. Een beetje extra water zorgt ervoor dat de kleuren mooi in elkaar vloeien. Mocht je de kleur op sommige plaatsen te donker vinden, neem de overtollige inkt dan op met een stukje tissue papier (deppen.) Laat vervolgens het geheel goed drogen.</p>
<p>Bij mij ziet het er nu zó uit:  (het &#8217;tissue-papier&#8217; doosje staat ook hier niet op de foto.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-ned.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26433" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-ned.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="701" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-ned.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-ned-300x263.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS_IDD_04-ned-768x673.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Nu gaan we de gilding wax aanbrengen, we &#8216;vergulden&#8217; als het ware het geheel. Met één zo&#8217;n potje was doe je heel lang want we smeren niet het hele oppervlak in. We &#8216;highlighten&#8217; alleen de uitstekende delen. Het lukt het beste als je het spul met je vingers voorzichtig opbrengt. Neem een dun laagje op je vinger (dep overtollige was af) en smeer het over het verhoogde gedeelte van je oppervlak. Vergeet niet ook de boven-  en onderrand mee te nemen!</p>

<p>Op dit punt gekomen zou je kunnen stoppen, maar je kunt ook besluiten nog meer versiering aan te brengen zoals washi-tape, collage plaatjes, lintjes, (plak) steentjes en glitters etc. etc. Wil je de potjes voor praktische doeleinden (als opberg-doosje bv.) gebruiken, overdrijf het dan niet. Maar mocht je de doosjes als object willen neerzetten, dan kun je je natuurlijk helemaal uitleven!</p>

<p>Today I want to talk about art journaling. This way of creating-in-a-book has taken a fight over the last years. More and more people started drawing, pasting, painting, splashing and make collages in journals&#8230;. mumerous art journal groups can be found on Facebook, stores sell all kinds of &#8217;empty books&#8217; and bullet journals &#8211; often with fitting sticker-sheets and &#8216;how to&#8217; worksbooks to get you started and there are a lot of &#8216;handlettering&#8217; books  for sale.</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #7. Art JOURNALING<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>First of all, yet again the (a) definition of art journaling because some of you might wonder: what is an art journal?</p>
<p><em> &#8220;An art journal, or artist’s journal, is a book kept by an artist as a visual, and sometimes verbal, record of her thoughts and ideas. Art journals generally combine visual journaling and writing, to create finished pages. Every imaginable style, media and technique is used by art journalists. When it comes to the types of work represented in artist journals, there really aren’t any rules, and each book is as unique as the artist who created it.&#8221;</em> (Source: <a href="https://mixedmedia.club/">Mixed Media Club</a> &#8211; Lisa Vollrath)</p>
<p>&#8220;Drawing, pasting, painting, splashing&#8230;&#8221; in my introduction I am talking about <strong>ART</strong> journaling. The &#8216;art&#8217; part is something that most of us know how to handle. We cut, tear and glue. We stamp and stencil. We use collage, paint and ink spray. We splash and splatter&#8230; but then what? &#8220;Oh&#8230; there has to be some text on the page as well&#8230; uuhrrrmm&#8230;.&#8221; and then we block. Most people go look for a quote. Or a word. We take our handlettering book (or look online) and draw the letters as nice as we can. Or we cut out a nice phrase from a magazine and glue it onto our art journal page. Done! And yes, you can even leave your page without texts, why not? After all, it is YOUR journal. You can do (or leave out) whatever you want on those pages. That&#8217;s exactly what makes art journaling so attractive and anyone can do it.</p>
<p>But what if&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8230;  what if you want to take your pages a bit further. What if you want your journal to be &#8216;more realistic, more personal, more YOU&#8217; &#8211; how can you accomplish that?</p>
<p><strong>Your own style<br />
</strong></p>
<p>I will now show you four pages made by well known art journalers. (I will not put the artist names with the photos, so you can play a little &#8216;quiz&#8217; if you like&#8230; do you know the names of the artists?)</p>

<p>Above pages have something in common: none of the pages includes text (except some random letters, a stand-alone word or scribbling that looks like text but isn&#8217;t &#8211; or is unreadable&#8230;)</p>
<p>Above pages have something else in common: the art journalers who created the pieces (respectively: <a href="https://www.willowing.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tamara &#8220;Willowing&#8221; Laporte</a>, <a href="https://www.bloknote.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marieke Blokland</a>, <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dyan Reaveley</a> &amp; <a href="https://dinawakley.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dina Wakley</a>) all have developed their own style. A style of creating that is so recognizable that their art hardly needs to be signed. The art IS their signature! (Did you recognize the styles and were you able to put the right name on it? That proves my contention then.)</p>
<p>One doesn&#8217;t develop a style overnight. It&#8217;s something that takes time, that has to grow on you. So where do you start?</p>
<p>Especially when you are a beginner at art journaling, you can quickly get overwhelmed by all the examples you see on the internet. There are so many possibilities, so many techniques, so many materials that you can use&#8230; what will fit YOU? It is best when you just start using materials or a technique you are drawn to. Play with it. The most important thing is that you have fun. When you create in your journal on a regular base, you will notice a certain preference for materials and ways of creating&#8230; your own style starts to show and develop there but hey, even if you just started your art journal journey, as a beginner you can add your personality and your own story to the pages right now. Your style may not be clear to you yet but there is a way to make your pages more personal.</p>
<p><strong>Journaling</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a clear &#8216;art-signature&#8217; yet and still want to see your personality reflect in your journal, the easiest way to do that and make your pages personal is: WRITE! I can hear you moaning now: &#8220;write&#8230; You call that easy?&#8221; Don&#8217;t get scared&#8230; you don&#8217;t have to fill your pages with writing (although you can of course.) A short sentence, something you over heard, a (chat)conversation or a list&#8230; there are so many possibilities to give your pages that personal touch with adding only a few words&#8230; that is, when the words come from YOU! I&#8217;ll show you some examples of that and then put you to work, ok?!</p>
<p><strong>Julie Ann Shahin</strong> (she does not blog anymore but is in Tangie Baxter&#8217;s Design Team. You can see some of her art <a href="https://shoptangiebaxter.com/blogs/news/flashback-friday-art-journaling-101-visual-journaling-focus?_pos=1&amp;_sid=ee892e0c5&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE</a> )</p>
<p>It might well be that Julie Ann created this spread (a spread is a &#8216;double page&#8217;) on Mother&#8217;s day &#8211; there&#8217;s a hand lettered quote on the left side but the note to her mum, that she wrote on the right page, is what makes this page personal!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.teeshamoore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Teesha Moore</a> is a famous (and one of the most copied) art journaler, her style is unmistakable. Do her admirers also read the text that she writes on her collages? The stories she adds are often about simple, daily things. Those are the sort of stories that you type in that box when you login to social media and Facebook asks you: &#8220;What are you doing?&#8221; Instead of typing on your timeline, you can also write it on an art journal page. It does make your page personal and extra special!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-06-TeeshaMoore.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-26290 alignnone" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-06-TeeshaMoore.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="707" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-06-TeeshaMoore.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-06-TeeshaMoore-255x300.jpg 255w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/34264323@N04/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fidgetrainbowtree</a> (Polly-Lee Harvey) often uses &#8216;printables&#8217; or &#8216;collage sheets.&#8217; A collage sheet is a collection of images arranged on a single sheet, intended for printing. You can purchase those digital sheets online (pay for it or get them for free) and use the images on your pages. The image of the lady with the pink cheeks may well come from such a sheet, but I want to point out the text on this page: just random thoughts jotted down on the page &#8211; however, those are HER words and it makes the page hers, and hers only.</p>

<p>(<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><em>By the way: </em></strong><em>nice collage sheets can be bought &#8211; amongst other sites and shops &#8211; here: </em></span><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.mischiefcircus.com/shop/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mischief Circus</a> but you can also find a whole lot of copyright-free images that you can use for free when you google <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.google.com/search?q=free+collage+sheets&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=hp&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjNi_-rl7njAhXEblAKHd_nBgMQsAR6BAgHEAE&amp;biw=1920&amp;bih=916" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">free collage sheets</a></span>)</p>
<p>The next spread is created by an art journaler I admire: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LisaCheney.artist" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lisa Cheney</a>. (I link her name to her Facebook profile. You can find her blog <a href="http://lisacheneyjorgensen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a> but the last blogpost is from 2016.) Lisa always uses texts on her pages, sometimes it doesn&#8217;t seem much but when you look closely you find short sentences and texts all over the page, sometimes partly hidden under a layer of paint. These sentences may not sound disturbing at first but in combination with the images her pages always bring across an emotion that the viewer &#8216;feels&#8217; right away. Lisa&#8217;s way of art journaling leans towards &#8216;raw&#8217; or &#8216;extreme&#8217; journaling &#8211; a term used for &#8220;naked, real, strong emotions in a journal.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-08-lisa-cheney-jorgensen.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26292" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-08-lisa-cheney-jorgensen.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="552" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-08-lisa-cheney-jorgensen.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-08-lisa-cheney-jorgensen-300x184.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-08-lisa-cheney-jorgensen-768x471.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>An &#8216;extreme journaler&#8217; is <a href="http://www.julianacolesart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Juliana Coles</a>. (You find more about extreme journaling <a href="https://www.meandpete.com/id14.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.) The portrait fills most of the page but the text, however, tells the story with makes the face and the look in those eyes touch deeply. In just sixteen words, Juliana throws her impotence on the page&#8230; pure and raw as it is.</p>

<p>Above examples show rather short texts but when you are a (diary) writer like <a href="https://www.judywise.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Judy Wise</a> your page will be full of writing. When there&#8217;s so much text on a page it starts to look like a pattern, a background to the images. This art journal spread is created in 2008. It was around that time that I discovered Judy&#8217;s blog online and started my own &#8220;Chronicles&#8221; art journal series. Nowadays Judy creates abstract paintings on canvas and she has not posted an art journal page for years&#8230; I wonder if she still works in journals as well.</p>

<p><strong>Now it&#8217;s your turn to write!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t chicken out now&#8230; I am not going to throw you in the deep end without giving you some tips and trics. Here are some distinct examples on how to use your own words in your art journal and tell your own story on the page.</p>
<p><strong>1. One sentence that says it all<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, one sentence (or a short chat-conversation) is enough to &#8216;tell the story&#8217;. Use the text from a little note, a sentence from a conversation you had, the word your beloved (or kids) uses all the time &#8211; I&#8217;m sure words like that will bring the story behind it back to you when you read it years later.</p>
<p>My (<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marit</a>) Chronicles pages show sometimes a lot and sometimes a bit less text. This particular spread was made in 2013 and I show it because of one sentence on it&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26296" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg" alt="" width="852" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg 852w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12-300x242.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12-768x619.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Well ma&#8217;m, you are certainly not a crybaby&#8221; &#8211; that was what the dentist said to me when I refused to have anesthetic when he had to drill a tooth. Although I tell a bit more about my dentist visit on the page, it&#8217;s that one sentence that is enough to remember the occasion and him saying it.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26297" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="323" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12-300x108.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12-768x276.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>2. Automatic or intuitive writing</strong></p>
<p>I am what you could call a &#8220;voluminous writer&#8221; and it&#8217;s not unusual for me to write a full page &#8211; hence the next image. This way of writing is called automatic, or intuitive writing. You find a lot about this technique online, for example <a href="https://www.intuitivejournal.com/what-is-automatic-writing/">HERE</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26295" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg 501w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1-219x300.jpg 219w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. Make a list<br />
</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s always fun to have a list on your art journal page, and making a list is pretty personal (depending on the topic you choose of course) and it is easy to do. Years later, you can see what you listed about a certain topic. In 2015 I wrote a <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-9-2/#nederlandsqds9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quirky post</a> about lists. You can find a list of topics to choose from in that post as well. The example I show you here was made in 2011 and how fun it is to look back to what I had on my &#8216;wish-list&#8217; back then!</p>
<p>&#8211; Move back to Zeeland (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Live near the sea (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Have my own studio (<em>check! I call it &#8216;atelier&#8217; now</em>)<br />
&#8211; My family and loved ones to be healthy and happy (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Loose 3 kilo&#8217;s (6.6. lbs) (<em>oops&#8230; I&#8217;ve grown &#8211; it is &#8220;loose 9 kilo&#8217;s &#8211;  19 lbs&#8221; now&#8230;</em>)<br />
&#8211; Meet some of my foreign blogfriends (<em>I didn&#8217;t met foreign blogfriends yet but I did meet some Dutch blogfriends in real live who have become dear friends!</em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26298" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg" alt="" width="429" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg 429w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist-187x300.jpg 187w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4. Writing in response to a question or theme</strong></p>
<p>Next is an old art journal spread (from 2009) I made with a &#8216;challenge&#8217; &#8230; the question that had to be the kick start of your page was &#8220;what is your favorite car?&#8221; Nothing came to mind at first and I almost skipped the challenge, but then I thought a bit more out of the box and created a spread about my favorite way of &#8216;transport&#8217; : walking! See? You can convert a question into something that fits YOU, that you feel comfortable talking/writing about. Just try to create a page with the question: &#8220;what is your favorite piece of clothing?&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26299" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="535" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology-768x514.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5. Take a walk<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This topic isn&#8217;t emotional, it isn&#8217;t &#8216;extreme&#8217; and still very personal: write about a walk. Again, think out of the box. You can write about the route you take in the shop when you go shopping for weekly groceries or something (<em>&#8220;I grab a shopping cart and head through the gates into the Walmart. First I go to the vegetable section &#8217;cause I have guests coming for diner and want to cook something fresh. I am in doubt if I shall make a salad, like planned, or purchase the green beans instead, because those look really good&#8230;&#8221;. et cetera)  </em>or even a &#8216;walk&#8217; through your own house (<em>&#8220;at 7 a.m. I am wide awake and I have to pee&#8230; I tiptoe around the bed  &#8211; my beloved is still sleeping like a baby &#8211; to the bathroom. There&#8217;s a toilet but I decide to take the other loo in the hallway so I won&#8217;t wake him up when I flush. I decide to not go back to bed but make coffee instead&#8230;&#8221; et. cetera.</em>) A stroll along the sea-side, a hike in the woods, a walk through your town or your visit to a big city on holidays&#8230; there&#8217;s something to write about it all and use it in your art journal! You can decorate your page with maps or images from the places you went, but you can also decide to picture the &#8216;mood&#8217; of the walk (lots of greens for a walk in the woods.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-15-ZZII-DeHerfstZalVanMijZi.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26300" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-15-ZZII-DeHerfstZalVanMijZi.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="680" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-15-ZZII-DeHerfstZalVanMijZi.jpg 796w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-15-ZZII-DeHerfstZalVanMijZi-300x256.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-15-ZZII-DeHerfstZalVanMijZi-768x656.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Create an art journal page using your own words/texts</strong></p>
<p>That shouldn&#8217;t be too difficult now&#8230; you can use the examples from this Quirky post to get you started but you can also go your own way&#8230; it&#8217;s totally up to you but remember: NO QUOTES, NO LYRICS, NO POEMS (apart from when you have written it yourself of course.)</p>
<p><strong>Good luck and have fun!</strong></p>

<p>Ik wil het vandaag eens hebben over art journaling. Deze vorm van creëren heeft de afgelopen jaren een vlucht genomen en steeds meer mensen tekenen, plakken, schilderen, spetteren en maken collages in boekjes&#8230;. op Facebook zijn talloze art journal groepen te vinden, óók Nederlandse groepen. Grote stapels &#8216;bullet journals&#8217; liggen in de winkels, vaak met pakketjes &#8216;stickers&#8217; of &#8216;how to&#8230;&#8217; werkboeken ernaast en je struikelt zowat over de &#8216;handlettering&#8217; boeken&#8230; (hoewel ik de indruk heb dat die hype over zijn hoogtepunt heen is.)</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #7. Art JOURNALING<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Allereerst nog maar eens de (een) definitie van art journaling, want wat is dat nou eigenlijk?</p>
<p><em> &#8220;Een art journal is een visueel dagboek, een plek waar je kunt spelen, experimenteren, verbeelden, herinneren, nieuwe technieken proberen en je dagelijks leven documenteren met meer dan woorden alleen. Je schrijft nog steeds, maar je maakt ook schetsen, voegt foto`s toe of maakt complete collages. Met recepten, krantenknipsels, recensies van concerten, lijstjes van televisieprogramma`s &#8230; eigenlijk alles wat `zichtbaar` is. Zo wordt je dagboek nóg persoonlijker! (Bron: Handlettering journal doe je zo! van Karin Luttenberg)&#8221;  </em></p>
<p>&#8220;Tekenen, plakken, schilderen, spetteren&#8230;&#8221; In mijn inleidend stukje heb ik het over <strong><em>ART</em></strong> journaling. En dat &#8216;art&#8217; gedeelte; daar weten de meesten wel raad mee. We knippen, scheuren, stempelen en sjabloneren wat af met z&#8217;n allen. Maar dan? Oh ja, je wilt ook nog tekst op de pagina&#8230; uuuhhhmmmm&#8230;. de meest mensen grijpen dan naar een woord. Of een quote. Het liefst in het Engels want dat bekt toch beter en is &#8216;internationaler&#8217;&#8230; het &#8216;handletter&#8217; boek erbij, het gekozen citaat in een mooie letter schrijven, of een quote uit een tijdschrift knippen &amp; opplakken en je pagina is af. Je kunt het tekstgedeelte ook helemaal weglaten, waarom niet? Het is tenslotte JOUW journal, je mag er in doen (en laten) wat je zelf wilt. En dat is precies wat art journaling zo aantrekkelijk maakt want IEDEREEN kan het!</p>
<p>Maar stel&#8230;.</p>
<p>&#8230; stel je wil een stapje verder. Je wilt je journal wat persoonlijker, wat &#8216;echter&#8217;, wat meer &#8216;jouw verhaal&#8217; maken &#8211; hoe doe je dat dan?</p>
<p><strong>Een eigen stijl<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Ik laat hieronder vier afbeeldingen van werk van bekende art journalers zien. (De namen noem ik later &#8211; de art journalers onder ons kunnen dan leuk een quizje doen: weet je welke art journaler wat gemaakt heeft?)</p>

<p>Bovenstaande pagina&#8217;s hebben iets gemeen: geen van de werken bevat tekst (behalve hier en daar wat losse letters, een losstaand woordje of een &#8216;kriebel&#8217; die op tekst lijkt maar het misschien niet eens is&#8230;)</p>
<p>Bovenstaande pagina&#8217;s hebben nog iets gemeen: de art journalers die de werken hebben gemaakt (respectievelijk: <a href="https://www.willowing.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Tamara &#8220;Willowing&#8221; Laporte</a>, <a href="https://www.bloknote.nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marieke Blokland</a>, <a href="http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dyan Reaveley</a> &amp; <a href="https://dinawakley.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dina Wakley</a>) hebben allemaal een eigen stijl ontwikkeld die zó herkenbaar is dat hun werk amper nog een handtekening nodig heeft. Het werk IS hun handtekening! (Herkende je de stijlen? Dat bewijst dan mijn stelling.)</p>
<p>Je eigen stijl ontwikkelen, dat doe je niet zomaar. Dat moet groeien. En waar begin je dan?</p>
<p>Zeker als beginnende art journaler kun je snel overdonderd raken door alle voorbeelden die op het internet te vinden zijn. Er zijn zoveel mogelijkheden, zoveel technieken, zoveel materialen om mee aan de slag te gaan&#8230; waar moet je beginnen? Wat past er nou het meest bij jou? Het beste is om maar gewoon te beginnen en alle technieken en materialen die jou leuk lijken uit te proberen&#8230;. er komt dan vanzelf wel bovendrijven op welke manier jij het liefst werkt &#8211; en van daaruit ontstaat je eigen stijl. Maar ondanks dat je misschien nog in de beginfase van je art journal reis bent, wil je natuurlijk toch je pagina&#8217;s iets &#8216;persoonlijks&#8217; meegeven. Je eigen stijl is nog niet duidelijk, dus hoe doe je dat dan?</p>
<p><strong>Journaling</strong></p>
<p>Als je nog niet zo&#8217;n duidelijke eigen &#8216;beeld-signatuur&#8217; hebt is de simpelste manier om je eigen verhaal op de pagina te krijgen en het geheel iets persoonlijks mee te geven: SCHRIJVEN! Nu hoor ik de meeste mensen al kreunen: &#8220;schrijven&#8230; noem jij dat simpel?&#8221; Maar bedenk dan wel, je hoeft geen hele lappen tekst te gaan schrijven (het kán natuurlijk wel.) Een kort zinnetje, een (chat)gesprekje dat je voerde, een lijstje&#8230; er zijn zoveel mogelijkheden om met een paar EIGEN woorden of zinnen je pagina een persoonlijke &#8216;touch&#8217; te geven. Ik laat wat voorbeelden zien en zet jullie dan aan het werk, ok?!</p>
<p><strong>Julie Ann Shahin</strong> (haar blog is uit de lucht maar ze zit in het design team van Tangie Baxter en je kunt <a href="https://shoptangiebaxter.com/blogs/news/flashback-friday-art-journaling-101-visual-journaling-focus?_pos=1&amp;_sid=ee892e0c5&amp;_ss=r" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIER</a> wat meer van haar werk zien)</p>
<p>Het zou goed kunnen dat deze spread (= een dubbele pagina) voor/op moederdag is gemaakt. Op de linker pagina een &#8216;handlettering&#8217; citaat. Rechts een briefje aan haar moeder, en juist dat maakt deze pagina persoonlijk!</p>
<p>(vertaling: &#8220;<em>Dank je wel mam, voor alle liefde die je me gaf. Het is de reden dat ik de moeder en vrouw ben geworden die ik nu ben. Naarmate ik ouder word waardeer ik steeds meer wat je ons allemaal hebt gegeven. Ik hou van je mama.&#8221;</em>)</p>

<p><a href="http://www.teeshamoore.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Teesha Moore</a> is één van de meest bekende, en veel gekopieerde, art journalers. Haar stijl is onmiskenbaar, maar lezen mensen ook de teksten die ze bij haar collages schrijft? Het zijn vaak simpele, dagelijkse dingetjes die ze beschrijft &#8211; het soort berichtjes dat anderen op Facebook zetten &#8211; en kijk, ook met dat soort &#8216;berichtjes&#8217; maak je je pagina persoonlijk!</p>
<p>(vertaling: &#8220;<em>Waar ik ook kijk, het lijkt erop alsof overal om me heen de zin &#8216;verspil geen tijd&#8217; opdoemt. Ik hoorde het zelfs verschillende beroemdheden in een recente talkshow zeggen: Brad Pitt, Jim Carry, Tom Cruise, Will Smith. En allemaal met zo&#8217;n passie en overtuiging&#8230; het zet me aan het denken op welke manier ik zelf tijd verspil. Ik moet meer alert zijn!&#8221;)</em></p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/34264323@N04/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fidgetrainbowtree</a> (Polly-Lee Harvey) gebruikt vaak &#8216;printables&#8217; of &#8216;collage sheets&#8217; &#8211; dat zijn plaatjes die je (gratis of betaald) op het internet kunt verkrijgen. Uitgeprint kun je die afbeeldingen dan gebruiken in je journal. De afbeelding van de dame met de roze wangetjes is er zo een, maar het ging me hier om de tekst: gewoon een dagelijkse overpeinzing op de pagina verwerkt.</p>
<p>(vertaling:<em> &#8220;Dit is niet de beste pagina die ik ooit maakte, ik ben er een beetje uit maar goed, het is mijn eigen journal en ik kan doen wat ik wil. Volgende week begeef ik me weer in het werkende leven &#8211; eeeeeek &#8211; ik ben opgetogen maar ook vreselijk nerveus. Terug naar het klaslokaal. Terug naar kinderen die vechten, gillen, zuchten en steunen, lachen en grapjes maken. Ik kan niet wachten.&#8221;</em>)</p>

<p>De volgende spread is van een art journaler die ik bewonder <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LisaCheney.artist" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lisa Cheney</a>.  (Haar naam linkt naar haar Facebook profiel. Haar blog vind je <a href="http://lisacheneyjorgensen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hier</a> maar dat houdt ze al een tijd niet meer bij.) Ze gebruikt soms veel, soms wat minder tekst op haar art journal pagina&#8217;s, maar als je beter kijkt vind je overal korte tekstjes en zinnetjes en schrijfsels (waar ze dan soms weer overheen heeft geschilderd.) De zinnetjes zijn niet altijd heftig of zo, maar brengen in combinatie met de afbeeldingen toch een emotie over die de kijker vaak zó oppikt. Het werk van Lisa komt in de buurt van wat je &#8216;Raw journaling&#8217;  (ook wel &#8216;Extreme journaling&#8217;) zou kunnen noemen &#8211; &#8216;puur art journalen&#8217;, een term die gebruikt wordt voor &#8220;naakte, echte, heftige emoties verwerkt in een journal&#8221;</p>
<p>(vertaling van zomaar een paar zinnen die nogal prominent op de pagina te zien zijn: <em>&#8220;Blijf in het nu.&#8221; &#8220;Is deze plaats mijn thuis?&#8221; &#8220;Stop met naar het verleden te kijken voor antwoorden.&#8221;</em>)</p>

<p>Een echte &#8220;Extreme journaler&#8221; is <a href="http://www.julianacolesart.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Juliana Coles</a> (je vindt meer over extreme journaling <a href="https://www.meandpete.com/id14.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">hier</a>) Het portret is beeldbepalend op deze pagina maar de tekst, hoe kort ook, vertelt het verhaal waardoor het schilderij nog heftiger binnenkomt. In zestien woorden knalt Juliana haar onmacht op de pagina&#8230; puur en rauw.</p>
<p>(vertaling:<em> &#8220;Ik zit hier met dit verdriet. Het lot naast me terwijl ik dit schrijf. Mijn vader is stervende.&#8221;</em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-09-julianacoles.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26293" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-09-julianacoles.jpg" alt="" width="911" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-09-julianacoles.jpg 911w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-09-julianacoles-300x165.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-09-julianacoles-768x422.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 911px) 100vw, 911px" /></a></p>
<p>Bovenstaande voorbeelden laten relatief korte teksten zien maar als je een &#8216;dagboekschrijver&#8217; bent, zoals <a href="https://www.judywise.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Judy Wise</a>, dan loopt de pagina al snel vol met tekst. De tekst gaat (ook) als beeld werken, het wordt bijna onleesbaar en fungeert dan als &#8216;achtergrond dessin.&#8217; Deze pagina is uit 2008. Ik ontdekte Judy&#8217;s blog rond die tijd en ben na het zien van haar werk mijn &#8220;Chronicles&#8221; art journals gestart. Judy werkt momenteel abstract op canvas, en heeft al jaren geen art journal pagina&#8217;s meer gepost. Ik vraag me af of ze nog steeds in haar journals werkt&#8230;</p>

<p><strong>Schrijven, en nou jij!</strong></p>
<p>Niet schrikken&#8230; ik gooi je niet zomaar in het diepe! Ik ga je nog wat duidelijke voorbeelden laten zien van hoe je met een &#8216;eigen schrijfsel&#8217; je pagina van een eigen verhaal kunt voorzien.</p>
<p><strong>1. Een zin die alles zegt</strong></p>
<p>Soms volstaat een zin of een kort (sms/chat) gesprekje. Gebruik de tekst op je pagina en vaak komt bij het terugzien van de woorden, zelfs járen later, het hele verhaal weer terug.</p>
<p>Mijn (<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/nl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Marit</a>) eigen Chronicles pagina&#8217;s bevatten soms veel, soms weinig tekst. Deze spread komt uit 2013 en ik laat &#8216;m zien vanwege één zin&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26296" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg" alt="" width="852" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12.jpg 852w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12-300x242.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12-2013-week12-768x619.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8220;Nou, u bent ook geen watje&#8221; &#8211; dat was wat de tandarts tegen me zei toen ik een verdoving niet nodig vond voor het uitboren van een kies&#8230;. hoewel ik op de pagina (zie bovenstaande afbeelding) iets meer vertel over dat tandartsbezoek, volstaat eigenlijk deze zin. Had ik dit op een verder lege pagina gezet, dan had ik nu nóg geweten welk verhaal erbij hoort.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26297" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="323" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12-300x108.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-12b2013-week12-768x276.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>(<span style="color: #008000;"><strong><em>Even tussendoor</em></strong> <em>Na tien jaar &#8216;Chronicles&#8217; art journals bijhouden heb ik het plan opgevat nu eindelijk eens een online workshop te gaan wijden aan &#8216;het bijhouden van een week-art journal.&#8217; Ik zit nog in de brainstorm fase (hoe zet ik het op? Wordt het een jaar-lange workshop? Alleen in het Nederlands, anders is het werk eraan helemaal niet meer te overzien!)  Zou daar interesse voor zijn? Het schrijven/filmen/uitwerken van zo&#8217;n uitgebreide workshop zal ook tijd kosten dus als ik dit plannetje al tot een workshop uit ga werken, dan zal het op z&#8217;n vroegst begin 2021 zijn voordat-ie van start gaat, maar dan weet je maar vast dat ik met het idee rondloop&#8230;  en mocht je wensen/ideeën hebben van wat je allemaal in zo&#8217;n workshop zou willen leren, laat het me dan weten!</em></span>)</p>
<p><strong>2. Automatisch of intuïtief schrijven</strong></p>
<p>Ik behoor tot de &#8216;veelschrijvers&#8217;, niet al mijn pagina&#8217;s lopen vol met tekst maar ik kan me wel eens verliezen&#8230; getuige de volgende pagina. Deze vorm van veel-schrijven heet automatisch, of intuïtief schrijven. Je vind <a href="https://thelittleblacktypewriter.wordpress.com/2018/01/18/met-deze-oefening-start-je-jouw-schrijfmotor-en-ga-je-intuitief-schrijven/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HIER</a> een duidelijke uitleg (met oefeningen) over deze schrijfvorm.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26295" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg" alt="" width="501" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1.jpg 501w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-11-Misc2-03-anthology-1-219x300.jpg 219w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>3. Maak een lijstje</strong></p>
<p>Altijd leuk, een persoonlijk lijstje in je art journal. In 2015 wijdde ik een <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-9-2/#nederlandsqds9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quirky post</a> aan dit fenomeen. Je vind in die blogpost ook een aantal onderwerpen die je zou kunnen gebruiken om een lijstje te maken.  Mijn voorbeeld komt uit 2011, en hoe leuk is het om terug te lezen wat ik toen op mijn wensenlijstje had staan!</p>
<p>&#8211; Terug naar Zeeland verhuizen (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Dicht bij de zee wonen (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Een eigen studio (werkkamer/atelier) (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Mijn familie en geliefden gezond en gelukkig (<em>check!</em>)<br />
&#8211; Drie kilo afvallen (<em>oeps&#8230; dat is nu opgelopen naar &#8220;9 kilo afvallen&#8230;&#8221;</em>)<br />
&#8211; Een aantal buitenlandse blogvrienden ontmoeten (<em>geen buitenlandse blogvrienden ontmoet, maar wél zijn een aantal Nederlandse online contacten uitgegroeid tot dikke vrienden &#8216;in &#8216;t echte leven!&#8217;</em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26298" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg" alt="" width="429" height="687" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist.jpg 429w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-13-28lists-wishlist-187x300.jpg 187w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>4. Schrijven n.a.v. een vraag of thema</strong></p>
<p>Een oude art journal spread (uit 2009) die ik maakte voor een &#8216;challenge&#8217;&#8230; de vraag waar je mee aan de slag moest was &#8220;wat is je favoriete auto?&#8221; Daar kon ik in eerste instantie niet zo veel mee, maar even doordenkend kwam ik tot een pagina over mijn favoriete manier van verplaatsen: lopen! Zo kun je elke vraag omzetten tot iets waar JIJ iets mee kan&#8230; probeer maar eens een pagina te maken met de vraag: &#8220;Wat is jouw favoriete kledingstuk?&#8221;</p>
<p>(vertaling: <em>&#8220;Mijn auto zit altijd net zonder benzine als ik er bijna ben. De bus is altijd overvol of te laat. Of allebei. Mijn fiets staat nogal eens met een lekke band. De spoorwegen veranderen het rooster altijd net op het moment dat ik met de trein wil gaan reizen. Over het algemeen vertrouw ik mijn voeten nog het meest!&#8221;</em>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26299" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="535" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology-300x201.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS7-14-Misc1-02-anthology-768x514.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>5. Wandeling</strong></p>
<p>Niet te emotioneel, niet te heftig en tóch persoonlijk: beschrijf een wandeling. Of je nu door de supermarkt loopt (<em>&#8220;ik pak een karretje want heb nogal wat boodschappen te doen. Na het poortje kom ik eerst bij de groenten. Die paar kroppen sla die er nog liggen zien er maar verlept uit, in plaats daarvan neem ik sperziebonen mee. Een mens moet flexibel zijn. etc. etc.&#8221;</em>) of door je eigen huis (&#8220;<em>ik ben om half 7 al klaarwakker en moet nodig plassen. Ik sluip om het bed heen &#8211; manlief ligt nog in diepe slaap &#8211; naar de deur van de badkamer. Daar is een toilet, maar ik loop door naar de andere wc in de gang &#8211; jawel, we hebben twee wc&#8217;s &#8211; zodat hij niet wakker zal worden als ik doortrek. Ik besluit niet terug in bed te kruipen en ga naar de keuken om koffie te zetten&#8230; etc. etc.</em>)  Een wandeling langs het strand, door het bos, door je eigen dorp of stad of een bezoek aan een vreemde (vakantie) plek &#8211; er valt overal over te schrijven. Je kunt overwegen om op je pagina ook een plattegrond of afbeeldingen van de plek te verwerken, maar een pagina in &#8216;de sfeer van de wandeling&#8217; kan natuurlijk ook (een wandeling in het bos = groen, of &#8216;vandaag = rood&#8217;)</p>

<p><strong>Maak een art journal pagina met een eigen tekst</strong></p>
<p>Dat moet nu wel lukken, toch? Je kunt de voorbeelden uit deze Quirky post als &#8216;start&#8217; gebruikt of alle tips links laten liggen en helemaal op je eigen manier losgaan&#8230; het is helemaal aan jou maar gebruik nu eens GEEN CITAAT, GEEN SONGTEKST, GEEN GEDICHT (of je moet &#8216;t zelf geschreven hebben natuurlijk.)</p>
<p><strong>Veel succes en plezier!</strong></p>

<h4><strong>Guest blogger: Willy Duit<br />
</strong></h4>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #993300;">Willy wrote a tutorial about the making of an envelope booklet. If you don&#8217;t feel creating yet another journal, than you can use the techniques she describes for creating the cover to create &#8211; for example &#8211; an art journal page.</span><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p>I need to dig deep in my memory to get to the surface where and how Willy and I met&#8230; I think I found her online when we both were scrapbookers, that must have been in 2009. I even think I met her in real life, on a scrapbook fair once (in Utrecht?) but I&#8217;m not sure about that either. What I AM sure of is, that I have been following her blog and creative development for years now. Willy creates in a totally different style than me and that&#8217;s why I love her so much: she challenges and inspires me! I bet she can do the same for you with this Quirky blogpost.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #6. Tea dye envelope book<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>As a child of deaf parents, I have been taught from an early age on to express myself &#8216;differently.&#8217; When I, years later, was introduced to the wonderful world of mixed media and art journaling, my heart made a little jump: it felt like coming home right away! I playfully make contact with my inner self in a natural way and go from there to create and share my &#8216;being&#8217;. In this blogpost I take you with me on this road and share my imagination with you, welcome!<br />
<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26211" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="609" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1-300x228.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1-768x585.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><br />
I show you how you can make an easy and fun, personal (Summer) booklet for keepsakes, using simple envelopes.<br />
<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26212" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="601" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2-768x577.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Get 12 simple, white envelopes and give them a beautiful old weathered look by soaking them in tea one by one.  Take the envelopes out of the &#8216;tea bath&#8217; gently and let them air dry. &#8220;Rooibos&#8221; tea gives the best results.</p>
<p>When the envelopes are completely dry, glue them together like this:  six envelops with the open side to the outside (fold the flap first and stick the &#8216;nice sides&#8217; together.) These will be the pages on the inside of your book in which you can put &#8216;stuff&#8217; (tickets, notes et cetera.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26350" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>You have four envelopes left. Glue those per two together with the nice side on the outside, these will be the cover of your booklet that we will decorate.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26352" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26213" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-3.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-3.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-3-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Next collect all kinds of material like: tea bags, dried flowers, stamps, pieces of text-pages, magazine clippings, napkins, labels et cetera.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26214" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Take the top layer (that has the color/image on) off the napkin and glue it on the envelope cover using a thin layer of gel medium or mod podge. (Put the medium on the envelope and not on the napkin, it will tore&#8230;) Now &#8216;build&#8217; layer after layer using the materials and clippings you like.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26215" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Add a little gesso here and there using your fingers. When everything is dry, stamp with (permanent) ink over the collage to create a well balanced total image.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26216" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Now stamp on the thin, white layer of the napkin (which you took off earlier, remember?) using waterproof ink. I used the image of a woman for my example, but you can of course use any stamp you like. If you don&#8217;t like (or have) stamps, you can use an image from a magazine or a photo.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26217" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Glue the image on the cover (remember: put the glue/medium on the cover and NOT on the thin paper layer.) Now sponge a little bit of color on your cover. I used distress ink (<em>Rusty Hinge</em> and <em>Vintage Photo</em>.) You can also color the stamped image if you like.  Finish the cover with paint splatters and a wonky pencil line to make a border.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26218" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg 630w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7-236x300.jpg 236w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26219" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="1115" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg 528w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8-142x300.jpg 142w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8-485x1024.jpg 485w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px" /></a><br />
Punch holes in the cover using a puncher (measure and mark the place of the holes first.) Copy the place of the holes on all the pages and the back cover. Find a fitting branch outside your house to use for the binding. I put a bit of white gesso on mine for extra interest.</p>
<p>Bind your booklet like this:</p>
<p>Step 1: Stick the needle through the hole from the back to the front side, put the thread over the branch and stick the needle/thread back in the same hole, going from front to back again.</p>
<p>Step 2: On the back side, go to the second hole.</p>
<p>Repeat step 1.</p>
<p>When you got to the last hole, fasten off the thread.</p>

<p>Decorate the envelopes (pages) on the inside. I used stamps, a small (red) line and a found text: &#8220;Memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, Winter and Wummer, the seeds of there past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them alive.&#8221;</p>
<p>Have a nice Summer!</p>
<p>Love,<br />
Willy</p>

<p><strong><em><span style="color: #993300;">Willy schreef een tutorial over het maken van een enveloppe boekje. Wil je nou niet wéér een boekje maken, gebruik dan de techniek &#8211; die ze beschrijft voor het bewerken van de cover &#8211; om bv. een art journal pagina te maken. </span><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p>Ik moet even in mijn geheugen graven waar ik Willy ook alweer van ken&#8230; ik denk dat ik haar online &#8216;ontmoette&#8217; toen we beiden nog scrapbookers waren en dat moet dan ergens in 2009 geweest zijn&#8230; en ik denk zelfs dat ik haar ooit op een scrapbook-beurs (in Utrecht?) live ben tegengekomen maar ook dat weet ik niet zeker meer. Wat ik wél zeker weet is dat ik haar blog en haar creatieve ontwikkeling altijd ben blijven volgen. Willy heeft een compleet andere stijl en werkt meestal op een totaal andere manier dan ik, en dat vind ik nou zo leuk aan haar: zij daagt mij uit en inspireert me! Wedden dat ze dat ook met jou doet in haar Quirky gast post&#8230;!</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #6. Natuurlijk (met thee) gekleurd envelop boekje </strong></h2>
<p>Als kind van dove ouders heb ik mij van jongs af aan aangeleerd ‘anders’ uit te drukken. Toen ik jaren later voor het eerst kennis maakte met de wondere wereld van mixed media en art journaling maakte mijn hart een sprongetje, het voelde direct als thuiskomen! Spelenderwijs maak ik op een natuurlijke manier contact met mijn binnenwereld, vandaar uit creëer en deel ik graag. In deze post neem ik je een stukje mee in mijn verbeelding , welkom!<br />
<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26211" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="609" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1-300x228.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-1-768x585.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a><br />
Van enveloppen maak je heel eenvoudig een leuk persoonlijk (zomers) bewaarboekje<br />
<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26212" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="601" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-2-768x577.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Geef de 12 enveloppen een mooie oude verweerde look door ze één voor één in een badje van thee te weken. Haal ze er vervolgens voorzichtig uit en laat ze aan de lucht drogen. Rooibosthee geeft het mooiste resultaat.</p>
<p>Als de enveloppen droog zijn plak je ze twee aan twee aan elkaar. Zes met de opening naar buiten (vouw het flapje eerst om). Dit worden de bladzijden aan de binnenkant van je boekje waar je iets in kunt bewaren.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26350" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-bladzijden-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>De andere vier plak eerst dicht en vervolgens met de mooie kant naar buiten tegen elkaar aan. Dit worden de kaftjes van je boekje die we nu gaan versieren.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26352" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/envelop-kaft-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>

<p>Verzamel collage materiaal, zoals: lege theezakjes, gedroogde bloemen, postzegels, stukjes tekst, tijdschrift, servetten, labels etc.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26214" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4A-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Haal de bovenste laag van je servet en bevestig deze door een dun laagje gelmedium of mode podge op de voorkant van je kaftje te smeren. ‘Bouw’ vervolgens in laagjes verder met de rest van het materiaal.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26215" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-4B-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Breng her en der een dun laagje gesso aan met je vingers. Stempel als dit droog is met (permanente) inkt tekst over je collage zodat er een geheel ontstaat.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26216" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-5-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Stempel op het witte (onderste) laagje van je servet met watervaste inkt een afbeelding. In mijn voorbeeld een vrouw maar dit kan natuurlijk ook iets anders zijn, bv een leuke afbeelding uit een tijdschrift of een foto.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26217" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-6-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Plak de afbeelding vast door gelmedium of mode podge op je achtergrond te smeren, niet andersom, anders scheurt het. Spons daarna hier en daar kleur met bv distress ink (ik gebruikte: <em>Rusty Hinge</em> en <em>Vintage Photo</em>) en kleur je afbeelding eventueel in. Maak het kaftje af met bv verfspetters en een slordig potloodlijntje rondom.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26218" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7.jpg 630w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-7-236x300.jpg 236w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26219" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="1115" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8.jpg 528w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8-142x300.jpg 142w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-Willy-8-485x1024.jpg 485w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px" /></a><br />
Maak gaatjes in je kaftje (meet en teken deze eerst af) met behulp van een gaatjestang. Neem de gaatjes vervolgens over op de rest van de bladzijden en het andere kaftje. Zoek een takje uit je tuin, ik maakte de mijne een beetje wit met gesso.</p>
<p>Naai vervolgens het boekje zo in elkaar.</p>
<p>Stap 1: Steek je naald van de achter- naar de voorkant van je boekje, sla over het takje en ga in hetzelfde gaatje terug naar de achterkant.</p>
<p>Stap 2: Ga aan de achterkant door naar het tweede gaatje</p>
<p>en herhaal stap 1 tot je bovenaan bent en hecht het draad af.</p>

<p>Versier de enveloppen aan de binnenkant eventueel met (achtergrond) stempels, een (rood) kantlijntje en een gezochte tekst.<br />
memory is the best of all gardens. Therein, winter and summer, the seeds of there past lie dormant, ready to spring into instant bloom at any moment the mind wishes to bring them alive</p>
<p>Fijne zomer!</p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: Sharon Fritchman<br />
</strong></h4>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;"><em>Sharon wrote a tutorial about making a scrapbook layout. If you are more of an art journaler and/or don&#8217;t have all the materials she uses, you are of course free to give this tutorial a twist and work in an art journal.</em> </span></strong></p>
<p>I remember Sharon being a team member of the design team at <em>Scrapping the Music</em>, which was a scrapbook challenge blog founded by my friend Michelle LaPoint and I used to play along there, way back in the time I was creating scrapbook lay-outs. Scrapping the Music retired in 2012 so I must know Sharon longer then&#8230; In 2013, Michelle and I taught an online workshop together that Sharon also joined. I went back to Sharon&#8217;s blog the other day and looked it up, and when I saw<a href="https://thatgirlfritchey.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-last-mixed-emotions-lesson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> the pages she created for that workshop</a> I not only remembered them, I also was in ooh and aawe all over! A couple of months ago I bumped into Sharon again, &#8217;cause I wanted to make an &#8216;old fashion scrapbook lay out&#8217; and was looking online for challenge blogs; do those still exist? Hell yes, Sharon owns/runs one! Sharon is a lovely lady and a very talented scrapbooker and I am glad she agreed to write a Quirky post for you. enjoy!</p>

<p><em>WHO IS SHARON?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Hello,  I’m Sharon Fritchman</p>
<p>A Bit About Me<br />
I live in the state of Pennsylvania in the USA. I am married, have two daughters, and work part time as a registered nurse. I also have an identical twin sister &#8211; she’s the sports minded, analytical one, and I am the artistic one. Funny how things work out! My artistic passions are scrapbooking and photography. I got interested in scrapbooking 16 years ago when my husband and I adopted our second daughter from China, and I haven’t stopped since. I have worked on several design teams over the years and have enjoyed learning from each and every one of the talented people I have met along the way. I met Marit a few years ago when I took her “Mixed Emotions” class. I am very honored to be participating in her Quirky Dutch Summer blogpost series!!!<br />

<h2><strong>QDS #5. Quirky summer scrapbook page<br />

<p>Hi everyone! I am so excited to be here and sharing my quirky summer scrapbook page with all of you! I am going to start by showing you my scrapbook page, followed by a detailed supply list and a step by step tutorial. Here’s my scrapbook page: entitled “Hello Beautiful:”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26172" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg 740w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></a></p>
<p>I always start any of my scrapbook pages by picking the photo that I want to use. I took this photo of my daughter, Anne, at the end of the summer a few years ago. It is one of my favorite photos of her! You can tell it’s the end of the summer because the corn is so tall in the background.</p>

<p><strong>Here is my tutorial:</strong><br />
1. I started by making my background with 12 x 12 Prima Watercolor paper:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26174" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg" alt="" width="721" height="768" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg 721w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02-282x300.jpg 282w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px" /></a></p>
<p>2. I stamped the watercolor paper in various places with Versa Mark stamp pad and heat embossed the areas with white embossing powder. This gave my background paper a resist technique.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26175" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="643" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26176" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="654" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04-300x218.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04-768x558.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>3. I applied water with my spritz bottle and added shades of yellow,orange, and green watercolor paint with a paint brush.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26177" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg" alt="" width="698" height="714" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg 698w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06-293x300.jpg 293w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px" /></a></p>
<p>4. While the watercolor was drying, I <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmJn1ywkrqU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">heat embossed</a> my chipboard piece with white embossing powder.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26178" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg" alt="" width="896" height="672" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg 896w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px" /></a></p>
<p>5. I gathered my patterned paper and distressed the edges.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26179" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg" alt="" width="704" height="690" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg 704w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px" /></a></p>
<p>6. I die cut my patterned paper using the Scallops and Sun die cuts. Then began adhering them to my dried background, watercolored paper.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26180" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="664" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08-300x221.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08-768x567.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>7. I planed my items on the paper, changing the design and adding other items:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26181" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg" alt="" width="882" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg 882w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09-300x246.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09-768x630.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px" /></a></p>
<p>8. I decided to add some cheese cloth for more interest:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26182" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>9. I adhered, layered, and moved around the items until I came up with a look that I liked. Then I adhered everything with my favorite adhesives.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26183" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>10. Here’s a larger image:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26184" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg" alt="" width="662" height="666" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg 662w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15-298x300.jpg 298w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" /></a></p>
<p>11. Next, I distressed the edges of the watercolor paper, then mounted it on 12 x 12 yellow paper. I added more twine, and black and white paint splats for more interest. Here’s my completed page:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26185" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg 740w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></a></p>
<p>12. Here is a close-up:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26186" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>13. And some different views:</p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: Sharon Fritchman<br />
</strong></h4>
<p><strong><em><span style="color: #993300;">Sharon schreef een tutorial over het maken van een speciale scrapbook layout. Ben je meer een art journaler en/of heb je niet alle materialen in huis die zij gebruikt? Voel je dan vrij om de tutorial naar je eigen hand te zetten en in een art journal te werken.</span><br />
</em></strong></p>
<p>Ik herinner me Sharon uit de tijd dat ik nog voornamelijk scrapbook layouts maakte &#8211; Sharon zat namelijk in het Design Team van <em>Scrapping the Music &#8211; </em>een challenge blog dat werd gerund door Michelle LaPoint, waar ik bevriend mee raakte. <em>Scrapping the Music</em> hield op te bestaan in 2012 en ik &#8216;kende&#8217; Sharon toen al een tijdje&#8230; jeetje, wat gaat de tijd snel! In 2013 gaven Michelle en ik een online workshop samen en Sharon was één van de mensen die zich inschreef. (Ik ben eens even terug gaan neuzen op haar blog en kwam <a href="https://thatgirlfritchey.blogspot.com/2013/03/my-last-mixed-emotions-lesson.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">het werk dat ze maakte naar aanleiding van die workshop</a> weer tegen. Toen ik het zag herinnerde me ik die pagina&#8217;s ook weer en ik was er opnieuw van onder de indruk!) Een paar maanden geleden besloot ik, naast al mijn art journal werk, ook zo nu en dan weer eens een &#8216;ouderwetse&#8217; scrap layout te maken, gewoon voor de lol, en ik vroeg me af of er nog van die scrap-challenge blogs online actief zijn. En jawel hoor&#8230; ik vond er een aantal waaronder eentje die Sharon zelf heeft opgezet en runt. Sharon is een getalenteerde scrapbooker en ze reageerde heel enthousiast op mijn vraag of ze een Quirky post zou willen verzorgen. Ik laat nu verder Sharon aan het woord, veel plezier!</p>

<p><em>WIE IS SHARON?<br />
</em></p>
<p>Hallo, Ik ben Sharon Fritchman</p>
<p>Iets over mijzelf<br />
Ik woon in Pennsylvania in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Ik ben getrouwd, heb twee dochters en werk part time als een gediplomeerd verpleegkundige. Ik ben de helft van één-eiige tweeling, mijn zus bezit de sportieve en analytische kanten. Daarentegen ben ik de artistieke helft. Grappig hoe zoiets werkt! Mijn artistieke passies zijn scrapbooking en fotografie. Ik raakte 16 jaar geleden in scrapbooking geïnteresseerd toen mijn man en ik onze tweede dochter uit China adopteerden, en ik ben nooit meer gestopt met scrapbooking. Gedurende de afgelopen jaren ben ik met veel plezier lid geweest van diverse design teams waar ik veel van heb geleerd en met andere getalenteerde mensen in contact kwam. Ik kwam Marit een paar jaar geleden tegen toen ik me inschreef voor de workshop &#8220;Mixed Emotions.&#8221; Ik ben vereerd om nu onderdeel uit te mogen maken van haar Quirky Dutch Summer blog serie!!!<br />

<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26172" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16.jpg 740w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik begin mijn scrapbook pagina altijd met het kiezen van een foto waar ik mee wil gaan werken. Deze foto, van mijn dochter Anne, is een paar jaar geleden aan het eind van de zomer genomen. Het is één van mijn favoriete foto&#8217;s van haar! Je kunt zien dat het op de foto tegen het einde van de zomer loopt want de maïs op de achtergrond staat al hoog.</p>

</ol>
<p><strong>Hier is mijn tutorial:</strong><br />
1. Ik begon met een wit vel aquael papier:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26174" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg" alt="" width="721" height="768" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02.jpg 721w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-02-282x300.jpg 282w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px" /></a></p>
<p>2. Ik stempelde met Versa Mark inkt de tekst stempel en de cirkel op verschillende plaatsen op mijn achtergrond vel, die ik daarna met witte embossing poeder bestrooide en met het hitte pistool liet smelten (de zgn. &#8216;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It7wjfTZRoE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">embossing techniek</a>&#8216;) In eeste instantie zie je de afdrukken amper, maar ze zijn nu water afstotend.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26175" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="643" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-03-768x549.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26176" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="654" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04-300x218.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-04-768x558.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>3. Vervolgens spray ik wat water over mijn papier. Ik gebruik een wat dikkere kwast en waterverf (tinten geel, oranje en groen) om wat kleur op de achtergrond te zetten.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26177" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg" alt="" width="698" height="714" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06.jpg 698w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-06-293x300.jpg 293w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 698px) 100vw, 698px" /></a></p>
<p>4. Terwijl mijn achtergrondvel ligt te drogen, &#8216;heat emboss&#8217; ik de kartonnen (&#8216;chipboard&#8217;)  figuurtjes met witte embossing poeder.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26178" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg" alt="" width="896" height="672" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05.jpg 896w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px" /></a></p>
<p>5. Ik verzam mijn stukken dessin papier en &#8216;distress&#8217; de randen. (dat wil zeggen dat je ze &#8216;beschadigd&#8217; door er een schaar, mesje of schuurpapier langs te halen)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26179" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg" alt="" width="704" height="690" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07.jpg 704w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-07-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px" /></a></p>
<p>6. Vervolgens stans ik de geschulpte randen en plak alles vast op mijn achtergrond vel.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26180" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="664" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08-300x221.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-08-768x567.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>7. Ik schuif met mijn stukken papier en de foto net zo lang tot ik tevreden ben met de lay out.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26181" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg" alt="" width="882" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09.jpg 882w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09-300x246.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-09-768x630.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px" /></a></p>
<p>9. Ik voeg meer dingen toe &#8211; een stukje kaasdoek maakt het beeld spannender.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26182" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-011-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>9. Ik blijf lagen toevoegen, veranderen, weer wegnemen, verplaatsen&#8230; tot ik echt tevreden ben over het geheel. Daarna zet plak ik alles vast.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26183" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-12-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>10. Hier is mijn volledige achtergrondvel in beeld:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26184" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg" alt="" width="662" height="666" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15.jpg 662w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-15-298x300.jpg 298w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px" /></a></p>
<p>11. Vervolgens distress ik ook de randen van mijn witte achtergrondvel&#8230; het wordt daardoor iets kleiner. Ik plak het op een geel 12 x 12 cardstock zodat gele randen een mooie lijst vormen. Ik voeg verder nog een stukje draad (blauw &#8216;twine&#8217; garen) en wat verfspetters toe. Mijn scrapbook lay out is nu af.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26185" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg" alt="" width="740" height="724" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1.jpg 740w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-16-1-300x294.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px" /></a></p>
<p>12. Hier een close-up:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26186" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-14-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>13. Wat foto&#8217;s uit diverse hoeken genomen, zodat je de lagen en diepte kunt zien.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-17.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26187" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-17.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="599" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-17.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-17-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-17-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26188" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-18.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="690" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-18.jpg 900w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-18-300x230.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/QDS-SharonF-18-768x589.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a></p>

<p>For years my father takes his drawing pad, pencils, watercolor and pens with him when he and my mum travel with their camper. Flipping through his sketchbook it&#8217;s obvious he prefers to draw small villages in France. Sitting on a mountain slope, chair and table in front of the camper, coffee, wine and refreshments within easy reach, he loves seeing the small houses and characteristic little churches that lie in the distance &#8211; and he tries to catch those with his pencil or pen.</p>

<p>But also closer to home, a day out with the van is a fun excursion and of course daughter (me!) is invited to come along. We find a place to sit on a dike &#8211; watching the ships roll in &#8211; or at a lake.  I always bring a sketchbook and some drawing materials, but nine times out of ten it stays in my bag while I spend the afternoon chatting, eating and drinking. A day in september 2016; and again I spent most of the afternoon lounging &#8211; but by the end of the day I forced myself to &#8216;do something&#8217; and not again come home with &#8216;nothing&#8217; (well, a great day out and fun memories is not &#8220;nothing&#8221; of course; what I mean is &#8216;at least one drawing&#8217;&#8230;) The scenery (water, boats, a small town in the distance) was not what you would call &#8216;Urban&#8217; but I&#8217;ll show you the drawing anyway&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26048" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="578" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet-300x217.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet-768x555.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>You can tell from this sketch that I forced myself: there was no focus, no concentration. Quick strokes, harsh colors; this sketch looks rushed and it was! Here&#8217;s the first lesson:<em> If you don&#8217;t really feel like sketching or drawing, then don&#8217;t!</em></p>
<p>So I didn&#8217;t. I kept on packing my drawing materials on days out but they stayed untouched.</p>
<p>However, last month, my former neighbor Frederika pointed out a Facebook group to me: &#8220;Urban Sketchers Middelburg.&#8221; Frederika is a drawer and painter and goes out &#8211; alone or with a group of painters &#8211; to sketch. She also visits so-called &#8216;Sketch crawls&#8217; (which I learned is a meeting of sketch artists who go into a city to sketch.) I told her I would like to make another attempt on sketching and so we had a date: we would go into town together to sketch!</p>
<p>This time I took it more seriously: I bound me a little sketch book and I did some preliminary research on &#8220;Urban Sketching.&#8221; And now you can benefit from my research and my experience with Urban Sketching &#8217;cause I wrote this Quirky post about it for you!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #4. Urban sketching<br />
</strong></h2>
<h4>What is urban sketching?</h4>
<p>&#8220;Urban sketching is reportage: drawings or paintings created on-site, as a spontaneous response to people, places or incidents. It is the act of placing oneself in a space, attempting to capture and interpret a particular moment in time.&#8221; (source: <a href="http://www.lynnechapmanurbansketching.co.uk/what-is-urban-sketching/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lynne Chapman &#8211; Urban Sketcher</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;Urban Sketching&#8221; is all about sketching on location &#8211; especially in an urban area. No landscapes and no drawing from a photo or magazine picture. You can of course take a photo after you&#8217;ve been sketching, to use as a reference when you want to work on your sketch some more later, but the basic is to SKETCH ON LOCATION.</p>

<p>In my search I found various tutorials, blog posts, examples, tips and tricks for people who want to venture &#8216;Urban Sketching&#8217; &#8211; I collected some &#8216;basics&#8217; to get you started and at the end of this blogpost I&#8217;ll give you links to various websites and information if you want to dive into Urban Sketching and explore further.</p>
<p><strong>Eeeck&#8230;.scary!</strong></p>
<p>To sit outside in the open and sketch in public can be pretty scary, even more so if you sit at a spot were lots of people pass by&#8230; you are never alone when you draw in an urban environment. Changes are, that people stop and come look at what you are doing. Especially when it is the first time for you to sketch outside, and you are not confident about your drawing skills, we don&#8217;t like it much when other&#8217;s come look at your attempts &#8211; oh, how we worry about what other people think of us! On top of that, we are our own worst critics. I found it scary myself too but when someone approached me with the question &#8220;what are you doing, can I take a look?&#8221; I said: &#8220;I take a class and I was challenged to go outside to draw. It&#8217;s the first time for me and I find it pretty scary&#8230;&#8221; And you know what? People were very nice, gave me compliments and I had unexpected, lovely encounters with bypassers. (and it does help to thing &#8220;I am doing this, I am learning, I am trying, THEY don&#8217;t!)</p>
<p><strong>Tips to make &#8216;the first time&#8217; outside sketching a bit easier:</strong></p>
<p>&#8211; Sit in your own front yard or in a corner of a terrace, there&#8217;s less public there. (however, sitting in your garden is VERY safe solution and not really &#8216;urban sketching&#8217;)</p>
<p>&#8211; Take a friend or go sketching with a group. Extra fun is to take children with you &#8211; especially small children (age 5 &#8211; 10) are used to &#8216;play outside&#8217;, they will love to draw with you and it helps to let go of your own nervousness.</p>
<p><strong>Location and subject</strong></p>
<p>Which location are you going to choose and what subject will you sketch?</p>
<p>&#8211; Make it easy on yourself and pick a location close to your home. Choose a subject (house, building, park) that you are familiar with.</p>
<p>&#8211; Choose a scene or building that you love. Do you like modern buildings or industrial environments &#8211; like to draw their straight lines? Go find a place where you can draw that. Do you prefer to draw traffic, or people? Go sit near a busy road or city centre. Like water and boats? Find a canal or port to draw. But remember: you learn what you love to draw by DOING IT. So don&#8217;t walk for hours searching for &#8216;the perfect place&#8217; &#8211; pick a spot, sit down and start drawing!</p>
<p><strong>A  sketch isn&#8217;t a photo!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Let me repeat that: a sketch is not a photo. It may seem a truism but let it sink in for a minute. Even if you had the skills to make a drawing that looks as detailed as a photo, would you want that? The fun of sketching is, that you are free to draw messy and playful. Your drawing does not have to look &#8216;exactly the same&#8217; as the subject you are sketching.</p>
<p><strong>Materials</strong></p>
<p>You probably have a preference for a certain material. Do you like to create detailed, neatly and precisely? Take ink, fountain pens or macro pens. Do you prefer to sketch fast and less detailed? Take graphite pencils or even charcoal. You can also think of chalk crayons, a box of watercolours or&#8230; well, there&#8217;s a lot of materials you can choose from. Just don&#8217;t take it all with you, make a choice because you don&#8217;t want to walk around town with a heavy bag and the more materials you take with you, the more difficult you will make it on yourself.</p>
<p>I list some materials that urban sketchers use, just so you have an idea. Make your own choice.</p>
<ul>
<li>Paper to sketch on (art journal, sketch pad with or without spiral spine, big, small&#8230; it&#8217;s up to you. (However, choose paper that&#8217;s fitting for the medium you use. Watercolourpaper is different from paper that you sketch on with a pen or pencil. )</li>
<li>A light and portable camping stool (but I would not purchase that right now &#8211; maybe you want that when you sketch outside often but for now: find a bench, a terrace or sit on a curb.)</li>
<li>Graphite, pencils</li>
<li>Pens: fine line pens, brush pens, macro pens.</li>
<li>Box with watercolour paint</li>
<li>Brushes in various sizes/water brush</li>
<li>Bottle of water, maybe some extra (small) spray bottles</li>
<li>Small paintpalet</li>
</ul>
<p>you can also think of:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pastel or oil crayons</li>
<li>Color pencils</li>
<li>Charcoal</li>
</ul>
<p>And there is more&#8230; a lot more. Too much to name it all in this post. If you want to explore Urban Sketching further you can find more info and tutorials via the links at the end of this post.</p>
<p><strong>My experience: an afternoon of Urban Sketching</strong></p>
<p>I thought if I share my experience and the things I came across during the afternoon that I went urban sketching with Frederika, you can benefit from the things I learned. It is of course my personal observations and experiences, but they might be helpfull.</p>
<p>Like I said, I bounded a sketch journal (that I plan to use, I really do!) and I added &#8216;something&#8217; to the first pages because <em>[1]</em> I came across an example and thought it would add a nice &#8216;extra&#8217; to the sketch and <em>[2]</em> I was a bit scared to go sketch in public and thought that having something on the page already would give me some confidence to put my pencil to the page.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t add to much to the page, you want the focus on the sketch and not on the background.</p>
<p>I glued some pieces of paper onto the page and toned it down with white gesso.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26050" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="513" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01-768x492.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>On the next page, I made some random colored &#8216;splashes&#8217; &#8211; I used &#8216;bister&#8217; (pigment powder) and water but you can also use watercolor paint.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/03-blanco-schets02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26051" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/03-blanco-schets02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="532" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/03-blanco-schets02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/03-blanco-schets02-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/03-blanco-schets02-768x511.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And then the day came&#8230; Frederika and I met and we decided to go to the courtyard of the old Abbey first. We found a nice spot on a bench &#8211; or better: we sat on the window sill and put our feet on the bench. That way, we had our legs in an angle to put our sketch pads on&#8230; perfect!</p>

<p>On the next photo, you can see what was in front of us. (We sketched this &#8216;live&#8217; and I took the photo later.)</p>

<p>My very first urban sketch!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26054" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="521" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01-300x195.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01-768x500.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Were the pieces of paper on the background, helpfull?<br />
No, they didn&#8217;t do anything for me. They don&#8217;t add much &#8216;fun&#8217; to the drawing either.<br />
Buy hey, I tried something, ok?!</p>
<p>I used a soft pencil for my sketch, Frederika took out her macro pens and watercolor box. She&#8217;s more experienced and you can tell by her sketch!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26055" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="737" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries-204x300.jpg 204w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>There were more benches in the courtyard. I tried to sketch a couple that was sitting there, but they didn&#8217;t sit still all the time so it wasn&#8217;t easy&#8230; and for the lady walking by I only had a few seconds to get her on paper.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26056" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="549" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02-300x206.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02-768x527.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I loved sketching with a soft pencil but it stained a lot &#8211; my hand was all black with graphite and the page showed a lot of smears and stains. I also brought macro pens so I tried using those for a while to sketch people walking through the courtyard. Fast sketches in which I tried to capture their postures. The person leaning against the wall reading a tourist guide gave me some more minutes to sketch.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/09-schets03a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26057" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/09-schets03a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="562" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/09-schets03a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/09-schets03a-300x211.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/09-schets03a-768x540.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Having seen enough of what was in front of me, I looked up&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26058" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230; &#8220;well, that&#8217;s a challenge to try and draw the shapes, lines and depth&#8230; &#8221; I thought. I used a pencil again for the sketch.</p>

<p>I was already working on a fifth sketch by the time Frederika was finished with her one drawing (that tells you something about her concentration and way of viewing &amp; working &#8211; and my short attention-arc!) and we decided to break up and find a new spot to sketch.</p>
<p>We went to the &#8216;Abbey square&#8217; where a stage was build on which a choir was singing and swinging. It was a &#8216;choir festival&#8217; in town and there were lots of people singing and public watching all over town. Because of the festivities, there were also chairs and tables &#8211; happy coincidence &#8211; and we found a nice spot to sit. There even was a stand where we could buy coffee (see paper coffee cups on the table) and there was a lot to see and sketch. This time, I took out my watercolor box.</p>

<p>The green trees, the choir on the stage, the public&#8230; this was what I had in front of me.</p>

<p>I started my sketch with painting &#8216;green spots&#8217; where I wanted the trees on my page. I added some yellow to try and capture the sunlight&#8230; and then I started sketching. I tried to depict the atmosphere of people on a square under the trees with a few lines (I&#8217;d discovered by now that I am more of a &#8216;fast sketcher&#8217; so I worked with that.)</p>

<p>I like the sketch, it feels &#8216;me&#8217; &#8211; my style,  but this way of painting and sketching comes with disadvantages: see my considerations in<em> italic</em>.</p>
<ul>
<li>Wet your watercolor paper (I used a spray bottle)</li>
<li><em>I need a cup to put water in for my brushes&#8230; lucky me: I can use that paper coffee cup! Next time I must not forget to bring a cup with me!<br />
</em></li>
<li>Wet your brush and put water color &#8216;stains&#8217; to the page. Spray some extra water to allow the paint to merge.</li>
<li><em>No heat tool&#8230; so it takes a while for the page and paint to dry. Maybe bring two sketch books next time, so you can sketch in another one while this dries?<br />
</em></li>
<li>I sketch with a pencil, the paper is still a bit moist but I think I could have used a pen also&#8230;</li>
<li><em>I thought of bringing a rag, an old dishcloth that I use to dab my paper and wet brushes. When you plan to work with paint, don&#8217;t forget to bring such a cloth.<br />
</em></li>
</ul>

<p>There&#8217;s still a lot to learn (practice, practice, practice!) but I am satisfied over those last two sketches. In my eyes these sketches picture the scene and atmosphere of the afternoon way better than the photo I took and there&#8217;s something else:<em> when you take a photo, EVERYTHING is on the picture. When you sketch, you can leave things out!</em> A traffic sign standing in the way? Don&#8217;t draw it. Or in my case: an awning above the stage to protect the choir from the sun &#8211; I left it out!</p>
<p>Frederika had put almost all her focus and concentration in her first sketch and we were both tired at the end of the day, but still she too sketched some people on the square.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26090" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>When you put the sketches of Frederika and me next to each other, you see a distinct difference in styles. Everyone has his of her own method of sketching and preference for materials &#8211; you develop your own style over time. In the field of &#8216;urban sketch&#8217; I made a first step to discover mine but I will have to explore and examine it further&#8230; so I plan to take my sketch book outside more often.</p>
<p>I have some last examples to show you. I selected these artists sketches random, to show you different ways and styles. Google on &#8216;urban sketch&#8217; and you find much more (but don&#8217;t stay on the internet looking at examples too much&#8230; go out and START SKETCHING!)</p>

<p>Mijn vader neemt al jaren zijn tekenblok en potloden-verfdoos-tekenpennen mee als hij er, samen met mijn mama, met de camper op uit trekt. Dorpjes in Frankrijk hebben zijn voorkeur. Zittend op een berghelling &#8211; stoel en tafeltje voor de camper neergezet; koffie, wijn en versnaperingen in de buurt &#8211; schetst hij het liefst dorpjes die zo half tegen een berghelling zijn gebouwd. De huisjes in de verte, dat karakteristieke kerkje &#8211; hij probeert ze te vangen met potlood om later met inktpennetje uit te werken.</p>

<p>Maar ook dichter bij huis is &#8216;een dagje met de camper aan het water&#8217; een leuk uitje&#8230; en dan mag dochterlief (ik!) natuurlijk mee! Dat doen we vaker. Ik neem ook altijd wel een schetsblok en wat tekenmaterialen mee, maar negen van de tien keer blijven die in de tas zitten en breng ik de middag onderuit gezakt kletsend, etend en drinkend door. Ook die dag in september 2016 bracht ik het grootste gedeelte van de middag luierend door, maar tegen het eind van de dag dwong ik mezelf toch om &#8216;iets&#8217; te maken en niet wéér met &#8216;niks&#8217; (nou ja, een fijne dag en leuke herinneringen is natuurlijk niet niks! Ik bedoel &#8216;op z&#8217;n minst een tekening of zo&#8217;&#8230;) thuis te komen. Nou was het onderwerp (water, bootjes, een stadje in de verte) niet echt &#8216;Urban&#8217; te noemen maar ik laat de tekening toch zien&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26048" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="578" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet-300x217.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/01-aandepiet-768x555.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Het is aan deze &#8216;schets&#8217; af te zien dat-ie eigenlijk is gemaakt als een &#8216;moetje&#8217;&#8230; geen focus, geen concentratie. Snelle vegen, harde kleuren, te snel en afgeraffeld&#8230; En de les is dus:<em> als je er eigenlijk geen zin in hebt, doe het dan liever niet!</em></p>
<p>Dat deed ik dan ook niet, de jaren erna. Ik nam nog wel tekenspullen mee maar ze bleven in de tas.</p>
<p>Afgelopen maand echter, wees mijn vroegere buurvrouw Frederika me op een Facebook groep &#8220;Urban Sketchers Middelburg.&#8221; Frederika gaat al jaren &#8211; dan weer alleen en dan weer met een groepje &#8211; op stap met haar tekenspullen en bezoekt ook nog wel eens een zogenaamde &#8216;Sketch crawl&#8217; (dat is een &#8216;bijeenkomst&#8217; van zo&#8217;n sketch-groep mensen om samen ergens te gaan tekenen) Omdat ik ook wel weer eens een poging wilde wagen spraken we samen af: met z&#8217;n tweetjes de stad in om te gaan tekenen.</p>
<p>Deze keer pakte ik het serieus aan: ik bond om te beginnen een schetsboekje en deed vervolgens wat voorbereidend onderzoek naar &#8216;urban sketching&#8217;. Uit mijn onderzoekje en ervaringen is de volgende Quirky post ontstaan. Doe er je voordeel mee!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #4. Urban sketching (tekenen op locatie)</strong></h2>
<h4>Wat is urban sketching?</h4>
<p>&#8220;Urban Sketching wordt bedreven door tienduizenden mensen over de hele wereld: we tekenen op locatie, binnen of buiten, vastleggend wat we zien door directe observatie op plekken waar we leven en de plaatsen die we bezoeken. We tekenen niet uit ons hoofd maar wat we ter plaatse zien. Dat kan een gebouw zijn, een straat met mensen of een landschap. Soms leggen we onze reizen vast (bijvoorbeeld in een travel journal), maar velen van ons tekenen het ‘dagelijkse leven’, in de trein, op school of in de pauze op een terrasje.&#8221; (bron: <a href="https://urbansketchers.nl/welkom-bij-urban-sketchers-nederland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Urban Sketchers Nederland</a>)</p>
<p>&#8220;Urban Sketching&#8221; is dus echt &#8216;tekenen op locatie&#8217; &#8211; en dan vooral in stedelijk gebied (Urban = stedelijk.) Dus geen &#8216;landschappen&#8217; en NIET natekenen van een foto of (tijdschrift) plaatje. Je kunt natuurlijk, nadat je ergens hebt zitten schetsen, een foto maken om later als referentie te gebruiken als je je schets verder uit wilt werken, maar het gaat er juist om dat je OP LOCATIE TEKENT.</p>

<p>Ik vond diverse tutorials, blogposts, voorbeelden, tips en trucs voor mensen die zich willen wagen aan &#8216;Urban Sketching&#8217; &#8211; ik haalde overal wat vandaan en zet hier het één en ander voor je op een rijtje. Aan het eind van de blogpost vind je links naar de diverse &#8216;bronnen&#8217; en verdere info.</p>
<p><strong>Oeeee&#8230;.eng!</strong></p>
<p>Buiten gaan zitten tekenen is best eng, zéker als je op een plaats zit waar ook andere mensen langskomen&#8230; en ja, in &#8216;bebouwd gebied&#8217; is de kans aanwezig dat voorbijgangers komen kijken wat jij aan het doen bent. Juist als het je eerste keer is, en je nog onwennig een &#8216;eerste probeersel&#8217; maakt, wil je liever niet dat anderen dat zien&#8230; wat zijn we toch benauwd voor kritiek! En wat zijn we zelf toch onze ergste criticaster! ZEG het gewoon als iemand nieuwsgierig komt kijken naar wat je doet: &#8220;ik ben bezig met een workshop en kreeg de opdracht buiten te gaan zitten tekenen. Dit is de eerste keer dat ik zoiets doe&#8230; eng hoor!&#8221; Moet jij eens kijken hoe leuk de reacties zullen zijn (en bedenk daarbij dat JIJ het toch maar mooi doet ~ hoe knullig je je eigen werk misschien op dat moment ook vindt ~ en ZIJ NIET!)</p>

<p>&#8211; Ga in je eigen (voor)tuin of in een hoekje op een terras zitten, dan loop je iets minder kans op &#8216;publiek.&#8217; (In de tuin zitten is echter wel een héél veilige oplossing en lang niet zo leuk als &#8216;elders tekenen.&#8217; )</p>
<p>&#8211; Ga samen met een vriend, vriendin of groepje &#8211; of neem (klein)kinderen mee. Vooral jonge kinderen (3 &#8211; 10 jr.) hebben geen enkele schaamte om buiten te &#8216;spelen&#8217; (= in dit geval tekenen) en dat helpt jou om die angst ook los te laten.</p>
<p><strong>Onderwerp.</strong></p>
<p>Welke locatie moet je kiezen en wat wordt je onderwerp?</p>
<p>&#8211; Maak het jezelf gemakkelijk en kies een plaats dicht bij huis, een onderwerp (huis, gebouw, parkje o.i.d.) waar je al een beetje vertrouwd mee bent.</p>
<p>&#8211; Zoek een scene of gebouw dat je voorkeur heeft. Het ligt er natuurlijk een beetje aan waar je woont, maar je weet vast een plek/gebouwen die je voorkeur hebben. Vind je moderne gebouwen of industrie als &#8216;beeld&#8217; fascinerend? Zoek die op! Liever aan het water: een brug? Boten? Haventjes? Denk ook aan verkeer (treinen, bussen, auto&#8217;s) en onthoud: door te DOEN ontdek je pas echt je voorkeur. Dus ga nou niet úren rondwandelen op zoek naar &#8216;de juiste plek&#8217; &#8211; ga maar gewoon ergens zitten met je schetsboek en begin!</p>
<p><strong>Een schets is geen foto!</strong></p>
<p>Een tekening is geen foto! Klinkt logisch, maar laat het eens even goed tot je doordringen&#8230;<br />
zelfs al zou je de vaardigheden hebben om je schets op een foto te laten lijken, zou je dat willen? Het is juist bevrijdend dat er niet van je wordt verwacht dat je een scene natuur getrouw natekent.</p>
<p><strong>Benodigdheden</strong></p>
<p>Iedereen heeft zo zijn of haar voorkeur voor tekenmateriaal. Werk je graag gedetailleerd, netjes en precies: neem inktpennetjes mee. Werk je liever wat schetsmatiger en grover, dan is een grafietstift of potlood misschien beter voor jou. Je kunt ook houtskool nemen, of pastelkrijt, of een doosje aquarelverf&#8230; sjouw niet teveel mee want hoe meer materiaal je bij je hebt, hoe lastiger je het jezelf maakt!</p>
<p>Ik zet wat dingen op een rijtje waar ervaren &#8216;sketchers&#8217; zoal mee op stap gaan, je kunt er jouw keuze uit maken.</p>
<ul>
<li>Een schetsboek natuurlijk (Journal, spiraalblok, groot, klein&#8230; alles kan. Kijk wel welk papier geschikt is voor welk materiaal&#8230; aquarelpapier voor waterverf, glad papier voor tekenpennen etc.)</li>
<li>Een licht en draagbaar campingkrukje (maar dat zou ik nou niet meteen aanschaffen&#8230;  je kunt tenslotte ook best op de grond, stoeprand, bankje of terras gaan zitten)</li>
<li>Potloden en/of grafietstiften</li>
<li>Inktpennetjes: permanent fine line pennen en/of brushpennen b.v.</li>
<li>Een doosje aquarelverf</li>
<li>Penselen/waterpenseel</li>
<li>Fles water, eventueel wat extra kleine (spray)flesjes</li>
<li>Een mengpalet(je)</li>
</ul>
<p>en verder kun je denken &#8211; afhankelijk van je voorkeur voor materiaal &#8211; aan:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pastel/olie krijtjes</li>
<li>Kleurpotloden</li>
<li>Houtskool</li>
</ul>
<p>Er is zo ontzetten veel mogelijk &#8211; het is teveel om allemaal hier in deze post te gaan behandelen. Wil je je echt gaan verdiepen in &#8216;Urban Sketching&#8217; dan vind je via de links onderaan deze post een heleboel extra info en tutorials.</p>
<p><strong>Mijn ervaringen: een middagje Urban Sketching</strong></p>
<p>Ik dacht, als ik nu eens gewoon mijn &#8216;middagje urban sketching&#8217; met jullie deel &#8211; dan kom je tegen wat IK tegenkwam en kun je daar eventueel je voordeel mee doen. Het zijn natuurlijk mijn persoonlijke observaties en ervaringen, maar daar kun je ook wat aan hebben, toch?</p>
<p>Zoals gezegd, ik bond van te voren een tekenboekje (dat ik écht van plan ben vaker te gaan gebruiken voor &#8216;urban sketching&#8217;!) Ik bewerkte daarna de twee eerste pagina&#8217;s omdat ik dat<em> [1]</em> een leuke &#8216;twist&#8217; vond, toen ik daar ergens een voorbeeld van zag en <em>[2]</em> ik het toch al eng vond om buiten te gaan tekenen en bedacht dat &#8216;voorbewerken&#8217; me wat houvast zou kunnen geven.</p>
<p>Niet teveel bewerken&#8230; er moet ook nog ruimte blijven om te schetsen natuurlijk!</p>
<p>Hier plakte ik wat snippers papier op de bladzijden met wat gesso er overheen om het contrast te verzachten.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26050" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="513" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01-300x192.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/02-blanco-schets01-768x492.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Op de volgende bladzijde maakte ik wat willekeurige vlekken met bister en water (je kunt ook waterverf gebruiken of zo)</p>

<p>En toen gingen we op pad, Frederika en ik. We vonden een leuk plekje in de binnentuin van de oude Abdij, waar we neerstreken op een bankje of, liever gezegd, op de vensterbank achter het bankje&#8230; met de voeten op het bankje, de benen in een hoek als &#8216;tafeltje&#8217; voor onze schetsblokken&#8230; zo, dat zat beter!</p>

<p>Dit was waar we op uitkeken en wat we zouden gaan tekenen. (Ik tekende dus &#8216;live&#8217; en maakte de foto&#8217;s pas achteraf.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/05-foto-schets01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26053" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/05-foto-schets01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/05-foto-schets01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/05-foto-schets01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/05-foto-schets01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Mijn allereerste Urban Sketch kwam er zo uit te zien.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26054" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="521" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01-300x195.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06-schets01-768x500.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En had ik &#8216;houvast&#8217; aan de van te voren opgeplakte papiertjes?<br />
Nou neuhhh, eigenlijk niet. Ze voegen ook niets toe.<br />
OK, dan weet ik dat ook weer.</p>
<p>Ik schetste met een zacht potlood, maar Frederika nam meteen haar inkt pennetjes en verfdoos ter hand. Zij doet dit vaker, en dat is te zien! Hier volgt haar schets.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26055" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="737" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/07-urban-sketching-frederika-de-vries-204x300.jpg 204w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>In dezelfde kruidentuin: een stel op een bankje. Ik probeerde hun houding te &#8216;vangen&#8217; maar ze zaten natuurlijk niet stil dus dat viel nog niet mee. En voor die langs lopende mevrouw had ik nog minder tijd&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26056" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="549" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02-300x206.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/08-schets02-768x527.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik kwam er al snel achter dat zo&#8217;n zacht potlood dan wel lekker werkt, maar dat het ontzettend vlekt. De zijkant van mijn hand zag helemaal zwart en ook het papier zat onder de &#8216;vegen&#8217;. Ik gumde de vlekken een beetje weg, maar ging toch ook even met een inkt pennetje aan de gang. Meer snelle schetsen: langs lopende mensen. Voor de figuur die tegen de muur geleund een toeristengids bestudeerde kreeg ik iets meer tijd.</p>

<p>Genoeg van wat zich voor mij afspeelde keek ik eens naar boven&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26058" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/10-foto-schets03b-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230; &#8220;dat lijkt me nou een mooie oefening in vlakken, lijnen en diepte&#8230;&#8221; dacht ik. En toch dat potlood maar weer gepakt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11-schets03b.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26059" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11-schets03b.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="562" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11-schets03b.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11-schets03b-300x211.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/11-schets03b-768x540.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik was al aan mijn vijfde schets toe tegen de tijd dat Frederika klaar was met haar ene tekening (dat zegt iets over haar concentratie en manier van kijken &amp; werken &#8211; óf over mijn korte concentratie-boog natuurlijk!) We besloten op te breken en een volgende plek op te zoeken.</p>
<p>Het werd het &#8216;Abdijplein&#8217; waar een podium stond opgesteld waarop een koor uitbundig stond te zingen en te swingen (het was &#8216;koren-festival&#8217; dat weekend.) Dat kwam goed uit, want er waren dus ook tafeltjes en stoeltjes op het plein gezet voor het publiek, er was koffie verkrijgbaar in een standje (zie papieren koffiebekers op tafel) en er was een hoop te zien. We vonden een plekje en deze keer haalde ook ik mijn verfdoos uit de tas&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/12-marit-abdijplein.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26060" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/12-marit-abdijplein.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/12-marit-abdijplein.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/12-marit-abdijplein-225x300.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Het groen van de bomen, de mensen&#8230; dit was mijn uitzicht.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/13-foto-schets05-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26061" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/13-foto-schets05-06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/13-foto-schets05-06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/13-foto-schets05-06-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/13-foto-schets05-06-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik begon de volgende tekening met het opzetten van &#8216;groene vlekken&#8217; op de plaats waar ongeveer het gebladerte zit, met een beetje geel om het zonlicht te pakken&#8230; daarna waagde ik me weer aan &#8216;mensen&#8217;. Ik wilde met een paar snelle krabbels (ik was er nu wel achter dat &#8216;aandachtig en gedetailleerd tekenen&#8217; er bij mij niet in zit) het publiek uitbeelden.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/14-schets05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26062" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/14-schets05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="491" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/14-schets05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/14-schets05-300x184.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/14-schets05-768x471.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Bovenstaande schets bevalt me, al heeft deze manier van werken ook nadelen. Het leverde wat overwegingen op die ik italic/schuingedrukt zal vernoemen.<br />
Ik zet mijn werkwijze even op een rijtje:</p>
<ul>
<li>Papier nat spuiten met water uit een sprayflesje.</li>
<li><em>Koffie op? Dan kan ik &#8216;t koffiebekertje als &#8216;water beker&#8217; gebruiken voor mijn penselen &#8211; volgende keer bekertje meenemen!</em></li>
<li>Met natte kwast kleurvlekken met aquarelverf aanbrengen. Eventueel extra nat spuiten zodat het een beetje vervloeit.</li>
<li><em>Tja, geen &#8216;heat tool&#8217; bij de hand&#8230; de verf/het papier moet eerst drogen voor ik verder kan. Dat duurt even! Volgende keer misschien twee schetsblokjes meenemen, dan kan ik in één verder werken terwijl de andere ligt te drogen?<br />
</em></li>
<li>En nu schetsen, met potlood. Het papier is nog een beetje vochtig maar ik denk dat het met de inkt pen ook wel was gelukt.</li>
<li><em>Ik heb gelukkig een oude doek bij me, om papier droog te deppen en de natte kwasten in te rollen. Denk daaraan als je nat gaat werken!</em></li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15-schets06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26063" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15-schets06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="499" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15-schets06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15-schets06-300x187.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15-schets06-768x479.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Er valt nog veel te leren (en veel te oefenen) maar over de laatste twee tekeningen ben ik best tevreden. Ze drukken in mijn ogen de sfeer van die middag beter uit dan de foto doet. Nog zoiets:<em> als je een foto maakt staat ALLES erop, ga je tekenen dan laat je de dingen die je niet leuk vindt gewoon weg!</em> Dat storende verkeersbord? Niet tekenen. Of in mijn geval; dat tentdoek boven het zangkoor? Weg gelaten!</p>
<p>Frederika had haar concentratie veelal in haar eerste schets gestopt en we waren allebei moe&#8230; toch waagde zij zich ook nog aan een paar houdingen en mensen&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26090" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/15b-schets-frederika-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Leg je de schetsen van Frederika en mij naast elkaar, dan is er een duidelijk verschil in stijl te zien. Zo heeft iedereen zijn/haar eigen werkwijze, voorkeur voor materialen én stijl, dat ontwikkel je vanzelf als je aan de slag gaat. Op het gebied van &#8216;buiten schetsen&#8217; moet ik de mijne nog verder onderzoeken/ontwikkelen &#8211; komende week maar weer eens op pad dus!</p>
<p>Ik heb nog een aantal laatste voorbeelden voor je, een beetje willekeurig uitgezocht om je de verschillende stijlen en manieren van &#8216;urban sketching&#8217; te laten zien.

<h4><strong>Guest blogger: Nel Wisse<br />
</strong></h4>
<p>I don&#8217;t remember exactly when Nel (or &#8216;Florenel&#8217; as she first presented herself with the name of her blog) and I got contact with each other. I recall that Nel participated in my online workshop &#8220;Let it Loose&#8221; but I taught that workshop several times and I don&#8217;t know what year it was when Nel participated. I do remember that I was still living in Eindhoven and liked the fact that I had someone from my &#8216;home-region&#8217; amongst my students. I moved back to Zeeland five years ago and since we live in the same town now, we meet each other in real life every now and then to drink coffee, chat and inspire each other&#8230; and &#8220;inspire others&#8221;, that is what Nel is really good at!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-00.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25855" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-00.jpg" alt="" width="195" height="400" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-00.jpg 195w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-00-146x300.jpg 146w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px" /></a></p>
<p><em>WHO IS NEL?<br />
</em>Nel is a self-taught artist who developed her skills by taking courses from various artists. She also attended a course &#8220;Process-driven work for amateur artists.&#8221;  In 1996, Nel got a certificate &#8220;Creative Crafts&#8221; and two years later she and a fellow ex-student put up a Creative Centre in Nagele, a small town in the Netherlands. Nel taught creative workshops there as well as in other places. She still teaches creative workshops occasionally. Nel prefers working with mixed media but also makes collages (including &#8220;zettiology&#8221;) and she loves to try out new techniques. She keeps on learning and developing by taking online workshops on a regular base.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #3. Harmonica booklet in a tin can<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>It was years ago that I got this tin can&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25856" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="548" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01-300x206.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01-768x526.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>For a long time I didn&#8217;t know what to do with it, until one day I found a little felt fish. The idea came to mind that I could fill this can with fishies; a little harmonica booklet with a &#8216;fish theme&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25857" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="428" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02-300x161.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02-768x411.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What do you need to make a harmonica booklet-in-a-can?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Small tin can with hinged lid (a box out of wood may do the trick also.)</li>
<li>Images and quotes with/about your choosen theme.</li>
<li>Thin piece of cardboard.</li>
<li>Strip of thick paper (for your booklet.)</li>
<li>Aquarelle tape/watercolor tape (or some sort of paper tape, see tutorial.)</li>
<li>Pencil, glue, craft knife.</li>
<li>Markers, coloring pencils, paint.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>How to make the booklet<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Put your can on a piece of thin cardboard (you are making a template so  you can cut it out of packing material, a cereal box or something&#8230;) Outline, and cut out the shape.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25858" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="603" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03-300x226.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03-768x579.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Now cut the shape a little smaller (remove approximately 0.08 inch from the borders.) Place the cardboard shape/template on the bottom of your can to see if it fits. You should be able to get it out easily. If not, cut the template slightly smaller.</p>
<p>Now cut a strip of paper.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25859" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Lay the cardboard template on your paper, outline the piece with a pencil and fold the strip exactly on the perimeter line. Fold and flip the paper strip, outline the template on the next piece of paper, fold and so on until you are satisfied with the length/number of pages. If your paper strip is too short, you can extend it by taping another paper strip to it using *aquarel/watercolor-tape. Be sure the tape is completely dry before you start working on the pages. (* Note by Marit: <em>aquarelle-</em> or <em>watercolor tape is a thin paper tape. It is different from &#8216;painters/masking tape&#8217; &#8211; the latter shows some sort of structure that probably stands out and stays visible on your pages. You can use it if you don&#8217;t mind that effect &#8211; you can even use patterned Washi tape &#8211; but if you want the connection as invisible as possible and don&#8217;t have watercolor-tape, then you might best cut a piece of thin paper to use as &#8216;tape&#8217;.)<br />
</em></p>
<p>Do you have a tin with round corners? Then cut out the marked corners of your harmonica-paperstrip.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25860" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Put the harmonica-stack one more time in the can to see if it fits well. You can adjust it still.</p>
<p>And now you can start working on your pages. You can fill the strip of paper per shape (page) or per spread but you can also deside to work on the whole strip at once (make a comic strip for example.) Of course you can use all kinds of techniques and materials, it depends on your style and your theme. Choose whatever you like working with.</p>
<p>You can see on the photo that I used all kinds of mixed media techniques &#8211; I even added a piece of dried fish-skin (on the photo to the right.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25861" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="360" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06-300x135.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06-768x346.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I also wrote quotes and sayings about &#8216;fish&#8217; on the pages, but you don&#8217;t have to use texts if you don&#8217;t like that. Create on the paper and finish the booklet every way you want and let it dry completely. When it is dry and to your liking, put glue to the bottom of your tin can and push the booklet on to it. Let dry, and finished!</p>
<p>It is of course fun to decorate the can in a way that it gives a clue about it&#8217;s content.</p>
<p>Om, na openen van mijn blikje, ook het boekje makkelijk te kunnen openen heb ik een splitpen gebruikt als oog waarmee ik de vilten vis vast maakte.</p>
<p>After opening the can, you also want easy acces to the booklet. I used a split pin (cotter pin) &#8211; attached as an &#8216;eye&#8217; to the felt fish &#8211; that makes the booklet easy to open.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25862" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="493" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07-300x185.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07-768x473.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>A little &#8216;knob&#8217; like that is handy &#8211; you could also use a button.</p>
<p>&#8230; and what a surprise it is when you open the lid later&#8230; there&#8217;s that little booklet! Give yourself a compliment, YOU made that!</p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: Nel Wisse<br />
</strong></h4>
<p>Ik weet niet precies meer wanneer Nel (of &#8216;Florenel&#8217; zoals ze zich toen presenteerde, naar de naam van haar blog) en ik contact kregen &#8211; ik meen me te herinneren dat Nel aan één van mijn eerste &#8220;Let it Loose&#8221; workshops deelnam maar in welk jaar dat was&#8230;? Ik woonde nog in Eindhoven en vond het leuk een &#8216;echte Zeeuwse&#8217; in de groep te hebben. Toen ik vijf jaar geleden in Middelburg kwam te wonen ontmoetten we elkaar &#8216;in real life&#8217; en sindsdien gaan we op gezette tijden bij elkaar &#8216;buurten&#8217;, koffie drinken en bijkletsen. En elkaar inspireren natuurlijk, want anderen inspireren: dat kán Nel!</p>

<p><em>WIE IS NEL?<br />
</em>Nel is autodidact en heeft zich op artistiek niveau ontwikkeld door het volgen van cursussen bij diverse kunstenaars. Ook volgde ze een opleiding Procesmatig werken voor Amateurkunstenaars. In 1996 slaagde ze voor het diploma Creatieve Handvaardigheid en twee jaar later zette ze in Nagele een Creatief Centrum op, samen met een mede-geslaagde. Nel gaf zowel daar als op andere plaatsen creatieve workshops en doet dat nu af en toe nog met veel plezier. Nel werkt het liefst met mixed media maar maakt ook collages (waaronder &#8220;zettiology&#8221;) en ze houdt ervan om nieuwe technieken uit te proberen. De laatste tijd volgt Nel regelmatig online workshops.</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #3. Zig-zag boekje in een blikje<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Jaren geleden kreeg ik dit blikje&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25856" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="548" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01-300x206.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-01-768x526.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Lang wist ik niet wat ik er mee wilde doen, totdat ik een vilten visje vond. Dat bracht me op het idee om het blikje met visjes te vullen in de vorm van een zigzagboekje.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25857" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="428" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02-300x161.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-02-768x411.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Wat heb ik nodig om ook zo&#8217;n soort boekje-in-blikje te maken?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Blikje met scharnierend deksel (een spanen doosje kan ook.)</li>
<li>Afbeeldingen over het onderwerp wat je kiest en quotes die erbij horen.</li>
<li>Stukje dun karton.</li>
<li>Strook stevig papier.</li>
<li>Aquarelplakband (of papieren tape, zie tutorial.)</li>
<li>Potlood, lijm, evt. snijmes.</li>
<li>Markers, kleurpotloden, verf</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Werkwijze</strong></p>
<p>Zet je blikje met de onderkant op het dunne karton. (Je maakt een malletje uit het karton, dus je kunt hiervoor b.v. een cornflakes-verpakking o.i.d. gebruiken.) Trek de vorm om en knip die uit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25858" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="603" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03-300x226.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-03-768x579.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Knip daarna rondom nog 2 mm af. Leg die vorm daarna op de bodem van je blikje en kijk of je het kartonnetje er makkelijk uit kunt halen. Zo niet, knip de vorm dan nog iets kleiner.</p>
<p>Snij/knip vervolgens een strook papier.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25859" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-04-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Leg vervolgens de kartonnen vorm op je papier, trek de vorm om en vouw de strook precies op de omtrek-lijn. Daarna de vorm omklappen, met potlood omtrekken, vouwen etc. Ga daarmee door tot je de gewenste lengte (aantal bladzijden) hebt. Is je strook te kort, plak er dan met aquarel-tape* een extra strook aan vast. Daar zie je niks meer van na het bewerken. Laat de tape wel goed drogen voor je op de bladzijden gaat werken. (*<em>Opmerking van Marit:</em> <em>Aquareltape is een dun papieren tape. Het is anders dan &#8216;schilderstape&#8217; &#8211; dat laatste heeft namelijk een structuurtje dat waarschijnlijk afsteekt op je bladzijden. Je kunt dat natuurlijk gebruiken &#8211; je zou zelfs gedessineerd Washi tape kunnen gebruiken &#8211; maar wil je de verbinding zo onzichtbaar mogelijk houden en heb je geen aquareltape in huis, dan kun je misschien beter een strookje papier knippen en gebruiken/vastlijmen om de verbinding te maken.</em>)</p>
<p>Als je blikje ronde hoeken heeft, knip dan ook de afgetekende hoekjes van je zigzagstrook.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25860" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Leg het zigzag stapeltje in het blikje en kijk of het goed past. Je kunt het nu eventueel nog bijsnijden.</p>
<p>Nu kun je de hele strook gaan bewerken. Dat kan per vouw (malvorm/bladzijde) of per twee (spread) maar je kunt natuurlijk ook de hele strook tegelijk bewerken (maak er b.v. een stripverhaal van o.i.d.) Je kunt op allerlei manieren en met elk materiaal aan de gang gaan &#8211; doe dát wat je leuk vindt.</p>
<p>Op de foto zie je dat ik allerlei mixed media technieken gebruikte &#8211; ik gebruikte zelfs een stukje vissenhuid (de pagina&#8217;s rechts op de foto.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25861" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="360" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06-300x135.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-06-768x346.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ook heb ik toepasselijke spreekwoorden en quotes toegevoegd, maar dat hoeft natuurlijk niet. Werk de stroken helemaal af op jouw manier en laat alles goed drogen. Als het geheel naar je zin en droog is, doe dan lijm op de bodem van het blikje en leg daarop je zigzagboekje. Druk goed aan, even drogen en het is klaar!</p>
<p>Het is wel zo leuk om de bovenkant van het blikje ook zó te bewerken dat het iets zegt over de inhoud.</p>
<p>Om, na openen van mijn blikje, ook het boekje makkelijk te kunnen openen heb ik een splitpen gebruikt als oog waarmee ik de vilten vis vast maakte.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25862" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="493" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07-300x185.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Nel-07-768x473.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Zo&#8217;n &#8216;handvatje&#8217; is handig. Je kunt daarvoor ook een knoop gebruiken.</p>
<p>&#8230; en wat een verrassing als je na een poosje het deksel open doet; geef jezelf een groot compliment!</p>
<p><strong>VEEL PLEZIER MET HET MAKEN.</strong></p>

<h4><strong>Guest blogger: Jenny de Bode</strong></h4>
<p>I got to know Jenny de Bode 2012, when I discovered her &#8216;<a href="https://quataalenteken.blogspot.com/2012/09/making-your-journal-rock.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stone folks</a>&#8216; on the Internet. I emailed her because I wanted to write an article for Featuring magazine about her art and right away it felt we&#8217;d always been friends. Jenny and I, we &#8216;click.&#8217; Ever since that day we email each other, we write each other, we call each other, we inspire each other, we collaborate on projects together and we gave workshops together. We don&#8217;t visit each other as much as we might want to (she lives in another part of the Netherlands) but we are in each other&#8217;s hearts.</p>

<p><em>WHO IS JENNY?</em><br />
Jenny de Bode is a teacher of English and Dutch and loves to encourage creativity in people. She developed courses and workshops in guided fantasy, creative writing, storytelling and language play. She teaches art journaling and creative writing (and loves to combine texts and images). She translated children’s books, writes poetry and short stories, draws on stones and paints on paper and makes big big messes. She’s convinced that creating makes us happy. Jenny wrote a book in Dutch about the magic of art journaling: <a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/art-journaling/9200000030321373/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Art Journaling, de magie van tekenen, schrijven en plakken in een creatief journaal</em></a> and was co-writer (together with Lia Nijman) of books about how to develop your creativity: <a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/creativiteit-geen-kunst/1001004006824239/?suggestionType=typedsearch&amp;bltgh=jENZ-1z7SLVa6Cd9zhFHig.1.2.ProductImage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Creativiteit, géén kunst</em></a> and how to stimulate creative thinking in children: <a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/hoe-bedenk-je-het/9200000017140134/?suggestionType=typedsearch&amp;bltgh=heLEZxsX1R5kc-Oo2OlD6A.1.2.ProductImage" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><em>Hoe bedenk je het ?!</em></a></p>

<h2><strong>QDS #2. A Summer of Snippety Susies<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Some creative work just happens. Three scraps of paper that I thoughtlessly put down on some brown paper suddenly showed their hidden potential! Only a few extra lines were needed to transform them into three funny figures. When Marit invited me as a guest blogger for her Quirky Summer project I remembered the sheer joy of working with coincidental odd scraps of paper.. Would you like to try?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25838" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg" alt="" width="598" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg 598w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1-224x300.jpg 224w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>What you will need</strong></em><br />
An interesting page from a magazine that preferably shows some skin or skin-like colour, some Kraftpaper or grey wrapping paper (black or plain coloured paper can also be used) black and white fine liners or gelly rollers and glue</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 1: Just randomly rip</strong></em><br />
First rip some random forms from your magazine page and lay them out on a piece of brown paper</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25839" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg 616w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25840" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg 509w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3-191x300.jpg 191w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Step 2: Look for a face</em></strong><br />
First see if there’s a piece of ‘skin’ that can be used for a face. Now look among your torn pieces for useful forms for a body or legs. Resist the urge to grab a pair of scissors and cut out a skirt, a bra or a little coat. It’s the irregular forms that you have ripped from the page that will stimulate your fantasy!</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 3: Puzzle</strong></em><br />
Use only what’s available but feel free to turn your torn pieces upside down to see if the other side is more interesting.<br />
Puzzle with the pieces until your fantasy takes over and tells you what it’s going to be. Take only what you can use and leave the rest.(watch out: don’t throw anything away yet. Cherish your leftovers, they may be useful later on.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25841" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg 616w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 4: Draw and Decorate</strong></em><br />
Feel free to draw parts that aren’t there to complete your image. (I added the hands!) An arm, a pair of shoes, part of a leg&#8230;hair. It is the combination of collage and your drawn parts that will make it special! Then take your fineliners and decorate as much as you like, add buttons, shoestrings, frills&#8230;whatever.</p>

<p><em><strong>Step 5: Add text</strong></em><br />
You’ll probably end up with some quite hilarious figures and a funny text may add to that.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25843" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg" alt="" width="478" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg 478w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6-179x300.jpg 179w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Step 6: Make a border</em></strong><br />
Lay the finished figure on a blank page of your art journal. Have you still enough snippets to make an irregularly ripped border around it? (If not grab a suitable new page.) There are various ways to make a border. See what appeals to you most and secure it with glue. Leave room to surround the border with text!</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 7: Add handwriting</strong></em><br />
Now write around it! Use your sloppiest handwriting and write big! Your scrawly text will act as an extra border and the sloppier it looks the better! (It may be quirky, remember!) What to write? Just anything that comes to mind&#8230;I for example wrote &#8220;<em>It’s so nice to fiddle about with scraps of paper and just see what wants to be created with them&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25844" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg" alt="" width="676" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg 676w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7-254x300.jpg 254w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px" /></a></p>
<h4><strong>And then what?</strong></h4>
<p><em><strong>Leftover scraps</strong></em><br />
So many pieces that I did not use. Oh&#8230;I had loads on my work top. Have you?<br />
Watch them closely, you now know what these scraps may lead to&#8230;. Among mine there was a snippet showing two toes and the nails looked so much like eyes that I could not resist&#8230;.I drew eyelids on them and made them into a little face.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25845" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-8.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Fat lady</strong></em><br />
I arranged some of the left over scraps on a fresh piece of Kraft paper. There was a fat behind and two pieces that could be used as legs. And there she was, my fat little lady.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25846" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg 522w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9-196x300.jpg 196w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Sensible Shoes</strong></em><br />
And all that was left to be done was drawing a hand, a handbag (yes, here I took another scrap) and nice sensible shoes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25847" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg 467w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10-175x300.jpg 175w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Buttons and frills</strong></em><br />
Decorating her was the last thing to do: some buttons, curly hair and some fashionable frills at her ankles. When I looked her in the eyes, the text came almost all by itself&#8230;. “<em>She was always a bit ashamed of her bottom&#8230;</em>”</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-11.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25848" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-11.jpg" alt="" width="408" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-11.jpg 408w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-11-153x300.jpg 153w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>BEWARE: You’ll make what you are!</strong><br />
I glued her in my journal and made a border out of another coloured page. I surprised myself by writing: &#8220;<em>And of course this is all about projection! It’s MY OWN bottom that I’m ashamed of that makes me write this!&#8221;</em> So now you know&#8230;</p>

<h4><strong>Gast blogger: Jenny de Bode<br />
</strong></h4>
<p>Ik leerde Jenny de Bode kennen in 2012, toen ik online ergens haar &#8216;<a href="https://quataalenteken.blogspot.com/2012/09/making-your-journal-rock.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">gezichten in steen</a>&#8216; ontdekte en haar aanschreef omdat ik voor Featuring magazine een artikel over haar werk wilde schrijven. Jenny en ik, dat klikte meteen! Sindsdien emailen we, schrijven we, bellen we, inspireren we elkaar, werken we aan gezamenlijke projecten en we gaven ook al workshops samen. We bezoeken elkaar veel te weinig (we wonen niet bij elkaar om de hoek) maar we wonen al jaren in elkaars hart&#8230;</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #2. Een zomer vol scheurmadammekes<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Soms komt iets vanzelf op je weg. Drie strips gescheurd papier die ik gedachteloos naast elkaar had gelegd op een grauwpapieren ondergrond lieten opeens verborgen mogelijkheden zien! Er waren maar een paar lijntjes nodig om ze te veranderen in deze drie grappige figuren. Toen Marit mij vroeg als gastblogger voor haar Quirky Dutch Summer moest ik meteen terugdenken aan het pure plezier van werken met toevallige vormen en daar dan je ding mee doen. Wil je ’t ook proberen?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25838" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg" alt="" width="598" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1.jpg 598w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-1-224x300.jpg 224w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Wat heb je nodig</strong></em><br />
Een kleurige pagina uit een tijdschrift waarop liefst ook een stukje huid of iets huidkleurigs te zien is, een stuk kraftpapier of bruin inpakpapier (zwart papier of een effen kleur kan ook), zwarte en witte fineliners of gelpennen en lijm.</p>
<p><em><strong>Stap 1: Willekeurig scheuren</strong></em><br />
Neem je tijdschriftpagina en scheur daar wat willekeurige vormen uit en leg die op een ondergrond (ik gebruik daarvoor graag grauw-bruin kraftpapier.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25839" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2.jpg 616w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-2-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25840" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3.jpg 509w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-3-191x300.jpg 191w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 509px) 100vw, 509px" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Step 2: Vind een gezichtje</em></strong><br />
Kijk of er ergens een gezichtje getekend kan worden (liefst op een stukje huid) en kijk of de scheurvormen als lijfjes of andere lichaamsdelen gebruikt kunnen worden. Weersta vooral de neiging om de schaar te pakken en een broekje, behaatje of colbertje te knippen. Juist onregelmatige scheurvormen prikkelen de fantasie!</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 3: Puzzel</strong></em><br />
Maak er een sport van om alleen te gebruiken wat er op je tafel ligt. Je hoeft niet alles te gebruiken, juist niet! Draai gerust je scheurstukjes om. Soms is de achterkant beter bruikbaar. (en let op: gooi nog niks weg! Koester je restjes, ze kunnen straks nog van pas komen!) Puzzel tot je fantasie het overneemt en je een idee krijgt van wat het zou kunnen worden.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25841" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg" alt="" width="616" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4.jpg 616w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-4-231x300.jpg 231w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 4: Teken en versier</strong></em><br />
Teken er gerust wat ontbrekende delen bij om het kompleet te maken, een stukje arm, een paar schoenen, haren&#8230; Het is juist de combinatie van collage en tekenwerk die het zo leuk maakt! Versier dan naar hartenlust en gebruik alleen zwarte en witte fineliners. Voeg knopen, veters, randjes en kantjes toe, wat je maar invalt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25842" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-5.jpg" alt="" width="421" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-5.jpg 421w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-5-158x300.jpg 158w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Step 5: Voeg tekst toe</strong></em><br />
Het worden meestal tamelijk hilarische figuren en een tekstje erbij kan dat nadrukkelijk laten uitkomen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25843" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg" alt="" width="478" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6.jpg 478w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-6-179x300.jpg 179w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 478px) 100vw, 478px" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Step 6: Creëer een rand</em></strong><br />
Leg je uitgewerkte scheurfiguurtje op een blanco pagina in je art journal en kijk of je nog genoeg snippers hebt om een liefst gescheurde rand om het ondergrondpapier te maken. (Zo niet, pak een nieuwe bijkleurende pagina) Een scheurrand kun je op verschillende manieren maken; kijk wat je aanspreekt en plak het vast. Laat genoeg ruimte om er tekst omheen te schrijven!</p>
<p><em><strong>Step 7: Handgeschreven tekst</strong></em><br />
Schrijf er nu omheen. Schrijf met je slordigste hanepoten en schrijf groot! Je tekst wordt een extra rand om je werkstuk en hoe hanepoteriger hoe beter. (Het mag ‘quirky’ zijn, weet je wel&#8230;) En WAT je dan moet schrijven? Alles wat er maar bij je op komt. Het hoeft niks literairs te zijn. Ik schreef: bijvoorbeeld &#8220;<em>Het is zo leuk om maar wat aan te rommelen met scheursels en gewoon te kijken wat er gemaakt wil worden&#8230;&#8221;</em></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25844" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg" alt="" width="676" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7.jpg 676w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-7-254x300.jpg 254w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px" /></a></p>
<h4><strong>En nu&#8230;?<br />
</strong></h4>
<p><em><strong>Overgebleven scheursels</strong></em><br />
Ongebruikte scheursels&#8230; er lagen er flink wat op mijn werktafel. Bij jou ook? Kijk eens goed&#8230; je weet nu waar die snippers toe kunnen leiden&#8230; Op een van mijn stukjes stonden twee tenen met keurig gelakte nageltjes. Ze zagen er uit als oogjes en ik kon het niet laten&#8230;dus ik tekende die oogjes op de nagels en maakte er een gezichtje omheen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25845" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-8.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Dikke dame</strong></em><br />
Ik arrangeerde wat van de restsnippers op een vers ondergrondje van bruin papier en daar was ze, mijn dikke dametje.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25846" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg" alt="" width="522" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9.jpg 522w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-9-196x300.jpg 196w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Stevige schoenen</strong></em><br />
Al wat ik nog had te doen was een handje tekenen, een handtasje maken (ja, daarvoor moest ik nog even een nieuw stukje scheuren) en een paar stevige schoenen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25847" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg" alt="" width="467" height="800" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10.jpg 467w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Jen-10-175x300.jpg 175w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px" /></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Knoopjes en krulletjes</strong></em><br />
Het versieren was het laatste (knopen, krulletjes, modieus kantje aan de broekspijpen) en de tekst “<em>Ze schaamde zich altijd een beetje voor haar achterste&#8230;</em>” kwam vanzelf bij me op toen ik haar in de ogen keek.</p>

<p><strong>LET OP: Je maakt wat je bent&#8230;</strong><br />
Ik plakte haar in mijn journaal en maakte een rand van een bijkleurende andere pagina. En toen ik er bij schreef verraste ik mezelf met de tekst “<em>Natuurlijk is dit projectie! Het is de schaamte voor mijn eigen achterste dat me dit laat schrijven!</em>” (En dat weten jullie nu dus ook!)</p>

<p><em><strong>Hi, hello, goodmorning, Quirky Dutch Summer is back!</strong></em></p>
<p>Welcome to all my Quirky online friends who, of course, are eager (at least I hope so&#8230;!) to read the first inspiration post of this series. It was about time that I picked up the QDS series again&#8230; the last series ran in 2015. I planned to organise another QDS series last year but, as most of you know, an unexpected housemove threw a spanner in the works &#8230;  well, not a spanner &#8211; it was magic powder because my beloved and I wanted nothing more than leave that &#8216;scary flat&#8217; that we &#8211; due to circumstances &#8211; were forced to live in.</p>
<p>Anyway, we moved and settled in our new apartment and it&#8217;s with a lot of happiness and extra energy that I can focus on Quirky Dutch Summer series now. A year later than planned also means that the enthusiasm (on my part) to jump in is even bigger than ever. We are going to make it a wonderful, creative Dutch Summer!</p>
<p>I said &#8216;we&#8217; &#8211; because as announced, I am not the only one who writes inspiring blogposts in this series. There are a number of enthusiastic guest artist-bloggers ready to share their inspiration with you too! Over the next few weeks you will see them pop up on this blog one by one.</p>
<p>I wish you a wonderful, inspirational Quirky Dutch Summer!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #1. Journal with a canvas cover</strong><strong><br />
</strong></h2>
<p>I kick off this Quirky Dutch Summer series with a tutorial that shows you how to bind a simple art journal &#8211; the journal looks a bit like a school exercise book (is that the right word for it?) with a soft cover and the fun is in the cover&#8230; it is made out of canvas. I got this idea a few months ago, when a friend (hi Marie!) visited me and brought her art journal&#8230; I was not only seized by the work in her self-made journal but also by the journal itself, especially the canvas cover: &#8230; but where did you gét that? It&#8217;s quite a hassle to find a piece of canvas&#8230; &#8221; I said. &#8220;Of course not&#8221; she replied, &#8220;you just buy a cheap prepared canvas in a dollar store and cut the cloth from the frame&#8230;!&#8221;</p>
<p>How come I never thought of that myself&#8230;?!</p>
<p>So I went to a store that sells cheap canvasses &#8211; you probably have those in your neighbourhood too &#8211; and I created my first canvas-covered-journal (see <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/last-call-and-my-desk-for-woyww-512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this blogpost</a>) A journal like this is easy to make and the binding is super-simple, it&#8217;s the cover that makes the journal look special and you know what? YOU can do it too!</p>
<p>So I made another journal like that and photographed the process&#8230; are you ready? Then Quirky Dutch Summer starts NOW&#8230;!</p>
<p><strong>What do you need?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>(Cheap) canvas</li>
<li>Craft knive</li>
<li>Ruler, pencil</li>
<li>Glue (I use bookbinding glue but other glue will probably work as well)</li>
<li>Bookbinding thread (waxed cotton or other strong thread will do)</li>
<li>Acrylic paint, stencils, brushes, brayers, palet knives or old credit card (and/or other &#8216;things&#8217; to decorate your cover. You can think of stamps, collage images et cetera &#8211; see tutorial)</li>
<li>Paper for the pages/content (see tips and ideas in this tutorial)</li>
</ul>
<p>Buy a cheap canvas &#8211; mine costs 1.39 Euro (1.56 American dollar)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25778" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Cut the canvas cloth from the frame.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25779" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>You can of course try to get the staples out (but that will cost you your nails and leave little holes in the canvas) or cut at the back of the frame but I keep it simple and cut the cloth at the front of the frame (see photo.) I don&#8217;t bother about the size &#8211; I will cut my content-paper later so that it fits the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25780" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And the wooden frame? I think I&#8217;ll keep it (if I can find a space where I can store it in my overstashed atelier) I can probably use it someday in the future&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25781" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>The cut out canvas is of course never quite straight&#8230; so I draw a neat rectangle and cut the canvas to square.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25782" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And here&#8217;s my plain cover! I do want to fold the edges though, to help the edge look nice and the journal will be easier to open.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25783" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Wait, I&#8217;ll get my first-made journal so I can show you. See? There&#8217;s a hem of approximately a centimeter and a half (a little less than an inch.)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good thing I looked at this older journal because now I notice that I did not decorate the back of the cover, it&#8217;s plain white and that doesn&#8217;t look nice.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25784" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I choose &#8216;lime&#8217; to paint the inside/back of the cover, it looks quirky and happy now doesn&#8217;t it? (&#8220;Which side of the cloth is front and which is the back&#8221; you might ask? Well, the back of your canvas looks just a little different than the front; slightly less &#8216;smooth/prepared&#8217;, but it doesn&#8217;t matter much what side you put up.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25785" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>When the back is dry, flip over the canvas &#8217;cause we will work on the front now. I used acrylic paint and stencils to decorate the front but you can use all kinds of materials and techniques&#8230; you could make a collage on the front, for example (but you will loose that &#8216;canvas/cloth look&#8217; then) or stamp on it and maybe even spray ink will work? (I did not try that, I&#8217;m affraid the ink will not dry nicely and stain.)</p>
<p>I choose bright, happy, &#8216;sunny&#8217; colors and used a brayer to add the basic layer on the canvas cloth.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25786" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And now the fun starts: I took out some stencils (and a toilet roll, I like toilet rolls to stamp with!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25787" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>You can dab the paint through the stencil with a brush (use an old brush) That way, you can apply a thin layer of paint (see the yellow herringbone motive.) You can also use a palet knife (or credit card) to smear the paint through the stencil, which gives a thick layer that adds dimension to the design.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25788" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a detail of the latter&#8230; the paint lays onto the surface.</p>

<p>Do take the time to let the paint dry before adding another design/color (use a heat tool to speed up the process) otherwise you will smear the wet paint when you put another stencil on it too soon.</p>
<p>Decorate your canvas cover the way you like&#8230; what is your style? What do YOU like? Do you prefere a calm cover &#8211; using colors in the same scheme &#8211; or do you want to go wild and add all the colors of the rainbow? It&#8217;s totally up to you!</p>
<p>In the end I used three stencils (the &#8216;herringbone&#8217; one, the circles and the triangles.) I alse used bubble plastic and the toilet roll to stamp paint. Decorate the piece of canvas until you are satisfied with it. NOTE: if you want to add text and/or an image on your cover, stay away 0.7 inch (1,5 cm) from the edges. Remember, we will fold the edges!</p>

<p>Are you ready? Are you satisfied with the way your cover looks? Is the canvas dry?</p>
<p>Then turn it around and draw a thin line 0.7 inch (1,5 cm) from the edges (see image.) Cut the corners as indicated on the photo.</p>

<p>So, that&#8217;s your cover! Now we go work on the content&#8230; I used per signature (in bookbinding, the word &#8216;signature&#8217; refers to a group of sheets, folded in the middle, and bound into the binding together.) two sheets of thick paper. That means that there will be four pages per signature. I bind four signatures so in total (let me calculate&#8230;) I will have 16 pages in my journal. Yes? Can you follow? You can of course use more or less signatures/sheets/pages.</p>
<p>I used <a href="https://www.dekwast.nl/artikel/tekenblok-kopgelijmd-180gr/1?bron=shopping_NL&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI16_Gn6a74gIVV_hRCh3nQQ7TEAQYASABEgJLHfD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">180 gr/83 lbs Schut drawing paper</a> but you can fill your journal with whatever paper you want (lined paper, colored paper or even fabric.) When you use thin paper, you might want to put more sheets into a signature&#8230; set up a content you like.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25793" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>The size of the canvas cover is the size of the sheets minus &#8216;something&#8217;. Because the canvas cover folds to close the journal, the pages have to be smaller than the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25794" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Let me show you: because you fold the canvas around the signatures, the signatures protrudes from the cover. I cannot give you exact measurements on this because it all depends on the size of your canvas and your paper&#8230; but I can show you!</p>
<p>Bundle your signatures and fold your cover around it as shown.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25795" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>See how much your pages stick out? Now measure how much you need to cut from the sheets to make them fall nicely into the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25796" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="726" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Fold open, my sheets look like this.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25797" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Next, we will prepare the cover for binding the signatures.</p>
<p>For a start, find the middle of your cover.<br />
I have four signatures to bind &#8211; so I draw four thin lines from the middle with a 0.3 inch (o,5 cm) distance from each other. (My &#8216;mid-line&#8217; is in between the inner two lines, see that?)  When you have more signatures to bind, draw more lines. (If you have an uneven number of signatures, bind one exactly in the middle.)</p>
<p>Now mark the place of the holes &#8211; the easy ones are the ones that are exactly in the middle.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25798" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Put one of the sheets/pages next to the lines and decide where the top and bottom binding holes have to come&#8230; mark the place approximately 0.7 to 1 inch (1,5 to 2 cm) from the top and bottom <em>of your pages</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25799" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="742" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20-243x300.jpg 243w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Use a puncture pen or needle to put holes on the marked places and do the same with your paper signatures/content. The most simple way to do that is to punch/prick the holes into one sheet of paper and then use this sheet as a template to punch the holes into the other sheets. (Fold the sheet-with-the-holes-in-it into the next signature and stick through the already visable holes.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25800" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ready? Then we can start binding the signatures into the cover.</p>
<p>I showed this way of binding in a former Quirky post (2015) so I will now link you to that tutorial where you can find that tutorial at the end of the post (scroll down a bit to find it)</p>

<p>I choose a happy color (waxed cotton) for the binding.</p>

<p><em><strong>Hallo, goedemorgen, Quirky Dutch Summer is terug!</strong> </em></p>
<p>Welkom aan al mijn Quirky online vrienden en vriendinnen die natuurlijk (dat hoop ik tenminste&#8230;!) staan te popelen om de eerste inspiratie post van deze serie te lezen. Het werd wel weer eens tijd ook, dat ik de QDS serie oppakte&#8230; de laatste stamt alweer uit 2015. Ik was het vorig jaar echt van plan maar zoals de meesten wel weten kwam er toen een onverwachte verhuizing tussendoor die roet in het eten gooide&#8230; of, nou ja, geen roet maar &#8216;magic powder&#8217; want mijn lief en ik wilden niets liever dan wég uit de &#8216;enge flat&#8217; waar we wegens omstandigheden in terecht waren gekomen. Enfin, we zijn dus verhuisd en gesetteld en heel gelukkig in ons nieuwe appartementje en nu kan Quirky Dutch Summer dan echt weer van start gaan. Een jaar later dan gepland betekent ook dat het enthousiasme (van mijn kant) nóg groter is om je te inspireren en om er een prachtige, creatieve zomer van te maken.</p>
<p>Zoals aangekondigd ben ik niet de enige die je inspirerende blogposts voor ga schotelen&#8230; er staan een aantal enthousiaste gastbloggers te springen om hun inspiratie met jullie te delen! De komende weken zie je ze allemaal voorbijkomen.</p>
<p>Ik wens je een prachtige, inspirerende Quirky Dutch Summer!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #1. </strong><strong>Journal met canvas kaft<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Ik trap deze Quirky Dutch Summer serie af met een tutorial die laat zien hoe je een simpel art journal kunt binden &#8211; het journal lijkt een beetje op een schoolschrift met een slappe kaft maar het leuke is, dat je die kaft van canvas maakt. Ik kreeg dit idee enige maanden geleden, toen een vriendin (hai Marie!) me bezocht en haar art journal meenam&#8230; ik werd niet alleen gegrepen door het werk ín haar zelf-gemaakte journal maar ook door de kaft, die ze had gemaakt van canvas &#8220;&#8230; maar waar háál je dat dan? Het is nogal een gedoe om los canvas te kopen lijkt me&#8230;&#8221; zei ik. &#8220;Welnee&#8221; was haar antwoord, &#8220;je koopt gewoon zo&#8217;n goedkoop geprepareerd doek en dat snijd je dan los van het frame.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dat ik dáár nou zelf nooit aan gedacht heb&#8230;!</p>
<p>Op naar de Action dus&#8230; en mijn eerste canvas-kaft-journal was een feit (zie <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/last-call-and-my-desk-for-woyww-512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deze blogpost</a>) Zo&#8217;n journal(tje) is heel simpel te maken &#8211; de pagina&#8217;s zijn met een super-simpele steek ingebonden, het bijzondere zit &#8216;m in de uitstraling van de kaft &#8211; en dat kun JIJ ook!</p>
<p>Ik maakte dus nóg zo&#8217;n schrift-journal om jullie te laten zien hoe ik het deed. Ben je er klaar voor? Dan trappen we Quirky Dutch Summer NU af&#8230;!</p>
<p><strong>Wat heb je nodig?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>(Goedkoop) canvas doekje</li>
<li>Snijmesje (Stanley mes, afbreekmesje)</li>
<li>Lineaal, potlood</li>
<li>Lijm (ik gebruik boekbindlijm)</li>
<li>Boekbind draad (waxed katoen of ander sterk draad)</li>
<li>Acryl verf, stencils, kwasten, verfrollertje, paletmes of oude creditcard (of iets anders om je kaft te bewerken&#8230; denk collage b.v. &#8211; zie verderop in tutorial)</li>
<li>Papier voor de inhoud (zie tips/ideeën over inhoud verderop in tutorial)</li>
</ul>
<p>Koop een goedkoop canvas doekje (ik kocht de mijne bij de Action voor 1,39 euro)</p>

<p>Je kunt proberen de nietjes eruit te peuteren (maar dan heb je gaatjes in de rand van je canvas) of de canvas aan de achterkant los snijden maar ik houd het graag zo simpel mogelijk&#8230; ik snijd dus aan de voorkant het doek los.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25780" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En dat frame-pje? Daar kan ik vast later nog wel iets mee, dus dat bewaar ik (als ik nog een plekje kan vinden om het op te bergen *lol*)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25781" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Het uitgesneden canvas is natuurlijk nooit helemaal recht&#8230; ik teken een keurige rechthoek af op het losse doek en snijd het canvas nu mooi haaks uit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25782" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En dit wordt mijn kaft&#8230; maar ik wil wél een omslagje aan de randen, zodat ik het journal straks wat makkelijker kan openen én om de rand mooi af te werken.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25783" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Wacht, ik pak even mijn voorheen gemaakte journal erbij zodat ik het kan laten zien&#8230; kijk, een &#8216;zoompje&#8217; van een centimeter of wat. Ik zie nu ook meteen dat ik de achterkant van dit doekje niet heb bewerkt&#8230; dat &#8216;wit&#8217; ziet er maar kaal uit, dat ga ik nu anders doen!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25784" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik geef de binnenkant van mijn kaft-in-wording een kleurtje: &#8220;Lime Green&#8221;, lekker quirky en zomers, toch?! (En wat is nou de voor- en wat is de achterkant zul je misschien vragen? Nou, de achterkant van je canvas ziet er net iets anders uit dan de voorkant, iets minder &#8216;glad/geprepareerd&#8217;, maar in feite maakt het niet zoveel uit welke kant je &#8216;voor&#8217; of &#8216;achter&#8217; noemt.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25785" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En dan nu naar de voorkant van je canvas kaft&#8230; ik gebruik acrylverf en stencils om deze te bewerken maar je kunt hier natuurlijk allerlei technieken op los laten&#8230; je zou een collage kunnen maken op de kaft (maar dan verlies je de &#8216;canvas look&#8217;), of stempelen en misschien werkt spray inkt ook wel (of zou dat blijven afgeven/vlekken? Dat heb ik niet uitgeprobeerd.)</p>
<p>Zelf koos ik wat zomerse kleurtjes acryl verf en rolde eerst een &#8216;basislaag&#8217; op het canvas doek.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25786" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Daarna haalde ik wat stencils uit de kast (en een wc-rolletje doet het ook altijd goed!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25787" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En toen ging ik los met verschillende kleuren acrylverf.</p>
<p>Je kunt met een kwast de verf door het stencil tamponeren (neem niet je beste kwast hiervoor!) Je krijgt dan een dun laagje verf op je doek (zie de gele &#8216;visgraat&#8217;) maar je kunt de verf ook met een paletmes (of creditcard) door het stencil wrijven. De verflaag is dan dikker en dat geeft dimensie&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25788" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230; kijk maar. De verf ligt mooi óp het doek.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25789" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Laat tussendoor wel steeds je verf drogen (een heat tool versnelt het proces) zodat je met een volgend stencil/kleur niet alles uitsmeert en vlekken maakt.</p>
<p>Bewerk je canvas kaft helemaal zoals je het zelf wilt&#8230; wat is jouw stijl? Wat vind jij mooi? Hou je het heel rustig &#8211; een journal in aardetinten of één kleurenpalet &#8211; of trek je juist alle kleurtjes die je hebt uit de kast? Dat is aan jou!</p>
<p>Ik gebruikte uiteindelijk drie soorten stencils (de &#8216;visgraat&#8217;, de cirkels en de &#8216;driehoekjes&#8217;) en vulde dat aan door te stempelen met bubbeltjes-plastic en een wc rolletje. Bewerk je canvas net zolang totdat je tevreden bent. Mocht je tekst of afbeeldingen op je kaft/canvas willen gebruiken, houd er dan rekening mee dat er nog ongeveer 1,5 cm aan de randen van je beeld &#8216;af vallen&#8217; (de rand wordt namelijk omgeslagen, weet je nog?!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25790" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ben je klaar? Is je canvas helemaal droog?<br />
Draai het doekje dan om en teken een lijn van 1,5 cm rondom. De hoeken knip/snijd je af zoals op onderstaande foto is aangegeven.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25791" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Lijm de randen nu naar binnen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25792" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Dan gaan we nu naar de inhoud&#8230; ik gebruikte per &#8216;katern&#8217; (een katern is een groepje papiervellen die je in elkaar vouwt) twee vellen papier. Dat betekent dat je dan 4 pagina&#8217;s per katern hebt. In totaal bind ik vier katernen in, dat betekent (even rekenen hoor&#8230;) 16 bladzijden. Ja? Snap je het nog? Meer of minder kan natuurlijk ook.</p>
<p>Ik gebruik <a href="https://www.dekwast.nl/artikel/tekenblok-kopgelijmd-180gr/1?bron=shopping_NL&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI16_Gn6a74gIVV_hRCh3nQQ7TEAQYASABEgJLHfD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">180 gr. Schut tekenpapier</a> maar je kunt je journal vullen met wat je maar wilt&#8230; gekleurd of gelinieerd papier b.v. of dikker of dunner papier. Je kunt ook meer vellen papier per katern gebruiken.</p>

<p>De canvas kaft is de maat van je vellen papier min &#8216;een beetje&#8217; omdat je de boel dichtvouwt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25794" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Omdat je je canvas omslag om de katernen heen vouwt, moet de inhoud wat kleiner zijn dan je kaft anders steken de bladzijden uit. Ik kan je daar geen maten voor geven omdat het allemaal afhangt van de maat van jouw kaft&#8230; ik kan het wél laten zien. Kijk&#8230; leg de katernen op een stapeltje op je canvas kaft en vouw het geheel dicht.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25795" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Je ziet nu hoeveel de pagina&#8217;s nog uitsteken. Meet op hoeveel je nog ongeveer van je pagina&#8217;s af moet snijden om de pagina&#8217;s ín de kaft te laten vallen.</p>

<p>Opengevouwen op het canvas ziet het er bij mij zo uit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25797" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Nu gaan we de kaft voorbereiden voor het inbinden van de katernen.</p>
<p>Zoek om te beginnen het midden van je kaft op.<br />
Ik heb vier katerenen in te binden, daarom teken ik op gelijke afstand van elkaar vier dunne potlood lijnen af (op ongeveer 0,5 cm afstand van elkaar.) Mijn &#8216;midden&#8217; ligt dus tussen de binnenste twee lijnen in, zie je het? Bind je meer katernen in? Trek dan meer lijnen.</p>
<p>Geef vervolgens de plaats van de gaatjes aan. Er komt in ieder geval een gaatje in het midden van de lijnen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25798" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Leg vervolgens een katern naast de lijnen en bepaal waar je boven- en ondergaatjes moeten komen. Deze komen 1,5 tot 2 cm vanaf de rand van je papier/bladzijde. Teken die gaatjes af op je canvas.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25799" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="742" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20-243x300.jpg 243w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Prik nu de gaatjes in je canvas met een prikpen (of naald) en doe dat ook met je papieren katernen. Het handigste is om in één vel papier de gaatjes op de juiste plaats door te prikken en dit vel vervolgens als sjabloon te gebruiken om in de rest van de vellen de gaatjes te prikken. (Schuif het vel-met-gaatjes binnen in je volgende katern en prik de gaatjes door.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25800" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Alles klaar? Dan kun je de katernen nu in gaan binden!<br />
Ik liet deze inbind-techniek al zien in een vorige Quirky post (van 2015) dus ik verwijs je nu naar die oude blogpost, waar je een duidelijke uitleg/tutorial vindt (het laatste gedeelte van die post, even doorscrollen dus&#8230;)</p>
<p>Klik <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-1-1/#nederlandsqds1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>HIER</strong></a> voor de uitleg/tutorial van deze bindtechniek.</p>
<p>En zó ziet mijn &#8216;cahier-journal&#8217; er uit, klaar voor gebruik.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25801" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="725" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik koos een vrolijk kleurtje draad (waxed cotton) voor de binding.</p>
