Friday haiku and upside down chronicles

July 28, 2023 By Marit Leave a Comment

Days fly by in the Zeeland. Warm sunny days alternate with rainy days, but that does not stop the tourists. Our “island” (which is actually a peninsula) is again flooded with camping guests, people staying in holiday homes and day trippers. However, when you rise really early and go for a walk in the wee hours like my friend Lena does, there’s no tourist in sight.

Friday haiku

In de ochtendzon,
eenzaam bankje op het duin
wie gaat er zitten?
In the morning sun
a lonely bench on the dunes
who’s gonna sit there?

I submit this haiku to Haiku my Heart

My beloved and I sometimes mingle with the tourists when we go into town to shop for some necessities or drink coffee on a café terrace, but at home in my small atelier it’s quite and peaceful and I created several art journal spreads over the last weeks.

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 26

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 27

In week 27 something happened what, in 14 years of art journaling, never happened to me before: halfway creating a spread I noticed I had my journal laying upside down!

Djeezzzz…

I made the best of it and so I created an ‘upside down spread’

It wasn’t on purpose, but I kinda like it!

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 28

This week my days were filled with appointments (of course there’s my job but there were also nice, happy appointments like going out with a friend and having a ‘fan’ visiting me) but today is still completely empty and lays all open to me, so I put on my old work clothes and get to create with the new stuff I bought in the thrift store and the lovely embellishments that I received from workshop-student and creative friend Jeannet.

I hope you get to spend your day and weekend in a way YOU like, whatever you plan to do: enjoy!
