Goodday sweeties… I almost said ‘goodmorning’ but it’s 11.49 AM while I type this so I presume it will be afternoon by the time I hit the ‘Publish’ button… I woke up early this morning but I fell asleep again – I guess I needed to sleep in for once but it means I keep on runnin’ behind for the rest of the day. That’s why I will keep this post short to leave me some time to get at least some of the ‘tasks’ that I planned done.
First: here’s my desk this morning.
That’s the last spread in my ‘Chronicles’ Art journal you see on the desk. I always have blank pages left at the end of each year, after filling the journal with 52 weekly spreads (due to the binding and the number of signatures – do the math 😉 ) and when I came across the idea of ‘A Year in Pixels’ I thought it would be neat to draw a grid on that page and fill it in day by day.
It will be a one-year-thing, I will finish this project of course but I can tell already that I won’t repeat it next year. I bump onto problems when I have to choose the color of the day – my day’s don’t have ‘one emotion’ – what to do with a beautiful but exhausting day? Do I color that yellow or green? However, if you would like to check this ‘project’ out just google ‘Year in Pixels’. There’s lot of examples out there!
Just like I thought – it’s now 12.07 – Wednesday afternoon.
I have two more art journal spreads to show and I’ll post the images without explanation. Just the title. The interpretation is all up to you.

Thanks for stopping by,
do something fun today,
create,
take a nap,
be happy!
Hi Marit, hope you don’t have too many stressful days and there is plenty of pink! I do like the idea of a quick reminder of each day, but can see the difficulty occasionally. Love the layouts as usual, there’s always so much to notice each time you go back to them. Sarah #12
Morning Marit. 11.49 here too now! Golly – I don’t think I could describe each day with only one colour for all my emotions… especially not when you consider that if I watch the film “Bambi” – I cry! If it had been a special day I just wouldn’t have to watch it, would I?? Spoil the colouring.
Take care. God bless.

Hallo Marit! Kom ik zomaar een landgenoot tegen op WOYWW! Ben zelf geen papier-maar een stof-mens, maar het is fascinerend om de projecten te bekijken. Je jaarproject is prachtig, ik begrijp je dilemma over de dagen, laat je wel goed na/overdenken trouwens. Fijne week, groetjes, Francisca
Hi Marit, great pages. i like the pixel idea, but agree it would be hard to have just one colour a day. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #6 XxX
I need a pixel a day for weather and another for appointment. II love your pages. Already behind on my journals.
don’t think I could be doing the year of pixels either… sending happy thoughts! I might just have a nap now…. Helen #2
Hi Marit, love your pages. Maybe you need to have different coloured spots on the mix of emotion days! Have taken your advice and been trying to create today, but this has been the first day I haven’t NEEDED that nap and I’m glad for that tho flagging a bit now. Happy WOYWW, Cindy #30
Hi Marit. You are so good at keeping up the journaling, I’m very impressed as I keep getting distracted with mine. Have a lovely woyww and happy crafty week, Angela xXx
you are an inspiration,, I wish I had your dedication!! beautiful work!
Leuk idee van jaar in pixels, snap wel je dillema want gelukkig is niet de hele dag rotslecht of super. Fijn weekend, Vicky
Hi Maarit, yes no day is one colour and as pixel is a square can’t do blend of colours I guess, although I’d be tempted!
Thanks for sharing and for popping over too!
