Chronicles and woyww #637

August 18, 2021 By Marit 14 Comments

It was so nice to join WOYWW last week! On my free days I visited the deskers who’d left me a comment and I created more art journal spreads also… I really used my time well last week didn’t I?! Since I don’t have many appointments this week I thought I might do it again. So here’s me, joining in with my desk and my latest art pages.

The last time I spend creating on my desk was on Sunday… I always clean up (sort of) after creating so here’s how my desk looks this morning… ready to go wild tomorrow!

WOYWW #637

And here’s my two latest spread which I created last weekend.

Week 30

Week 31

I bought a book for a bargain in a second hand store: “Rock & Pop, Half a Century of History” – it’s packed with pictures of musicians including this funny photo of the Who. I have a ringtone from that band on my mobile (Baba O’Riley) so that photo with the ‘story’ became the starting point of my spread. The background and added colors derived from that one picture…

RECTIFICATION: Lynne pointed it out and she’s absolutely right, The Who is not on the photo, those are the Small Faces! It said ‘Who” underneat the pic and I wondered a bit myself when I looked at the photo ’cause I didn’t recognized Pete Townshend… I should have had it checked before I used this pic on the page. Oh well, I added an extra text (see below) and I still like my spread.

We had rainy and windy days overhere last week and this morning doesn’t look bright either… I better take my umbrella when I walk to my work! I do hope the sun will come out to join me on my free days… starting tomorrow! Hope your days will be sunny and bright too. Thanks for visiting me, I hope to be able to visit you back so ‘see ya’!

    Good to see you again – that book you found was a great inspiration for your page, well done! We’ve not had a lot of sun here lately either. Helen #2

    I do love the picture of your desk with the labels on, so easy to see what is what! Your journal pages are always so interesting to look at too, you pack a lot of information into each one. It made me smile that you have a Who dong as a ringtone, lol!!

    Sunny and bright would be a welcome change, global warming does not apply to British Summers! Not that I would want that excessively hot weather, needless to say. Love that journal page with the man just fitting the page. Have a great week Angel #4

    I love how you do your journal pages. I have collected some fashion magazines over the years and one day I’ll get round to doing something with the images. Have a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x14x

    Wouldn’t it be nice to just have a few consecutive days of blue skies and sunshine. This windy dull and often wet weather is disappointing. Of course I love your tidy and ready desk view, it does me good to see it. The nook as a great find for you, I love how you ALWAYS manage to fit your writing in, no matter which style you use.

    Hi Marit, great journal pages. I love the Who too, Won’t Get Fooled Again” & Baba O’Riley. I don’t think that is them in the photo though. Maybe the Small Faces? Sorry!
    Take care

    I have always loved The Who! Besides the album “Tommy” which I loved but which, I think, was eventually overplayed on FM radio my favorite albums of theirs are “Happy Jack”, “The Who Sell Out”, and “Who’s Next”. A truly great band!
