O MY… it’s February already and I didn’t even post my Chronicles art journal. I bound a new book to create in this year. My 2025 book was quite large, with a crocheted cover and beaded binding, but this year I kept it simple. A cover made of a gelli-print and a basic binding. It is also a smaller size (16 x 25 cm, spreads are 32 x 25 cm.)
I always start the year, and my Chronicles art journal, with One Little Word. I usually choose a word at the end of a year, but at the beginning of 2026 I still had not choose a word. I hesitated for a long time about whether I should choose a word at all, until this one popped into my head and stuck with me: “Ruimte” (space/room.)
I hope this year will bring many nice days and happy events so that the spreads, I fill this journal with, will be colorful and beautiful. Here are the first week-spreads:
Chronicles 2026 – Week 1
Chronicles 2026 – Week 2
Chronicles 2026 – Week 3
There are not as many people visiting blogs anymore so thanks for being here reading my post, I really appriciate you came by! Enjoy your day!





Happy 2026 Marit! Your chronicles pages still inspire me!
So good to see and read your first pages in this new year! My book is made with a blue and black piece of fabric I found in my stash and the theme for this year will be BLUE.
Hi Marit!
Zo fijn dat je je blog blijft bijhouden! Voor omdat ik inmiddels van Facebook ben verdwenen….
Fijn en inspirerend om jouw spreads te zien en ja il ben ook weer aan dechargeren met m’n nieuwe kroniek……ik kan het dus zelf, maar ik mis je wel hoor. Wie weet komt het weer een keer 🙂
Alle goeds en ik blijf je volgen 🙏🥳
Hi Marit, een heel fijn creatief 2026! Ik hoop je nog lang te mogen blijven lezen! Je spreads en kronieken blijf ik inspirerend vinden. Vroeg of laat wil ik iets dergelijks proberen.
