It’s been years since I taught this workshop and I’m looking forward to teaching again!

And the next photos are the reason I’m late today… I’m sure you all want to see how the lilac book case back/wall turned out but when I wanted to take a photo this morning my camera’s batteries were empty and I had to charge them first before I could take photos again… while the batteries were charching I sat at my desk and lost myself in creating. I totally forgot the time untill my fave radio programm started – MyOhMy, it must be 2 pm then?!

Yep, it was… so I put the batteries back in, took these photos and here I am!

Here’s the lilac back of the case I told you about last week. You commented with some lovely ideas to add to this wall but I haven’t decided yet what, or if, I want to do that so for now I leave it like this. It IS lovely as it is after all.

And this is what’s on my workdesk right now…

Yep, working on Zetti collage examples for the in-person workshop I teach on September 22.

And something artsy to finish this blogpost off:

The Chronicles of Marit 2018 – Week 32

The Chronicles of Marit 2018 – Week 33

Have a great afternoon y’all – hope you have some time left to do something nice, like collageing a Zetti 😉

With August on the calendar, and light getting shorter in the evenings, it sure
feels like fall now! I decided to turn the ‘bad’ into ‘good’ and made plans for the
upcoming season then!

For me, some great things are in the pipeline – including teaching a long,
luxurious live workshop-weekend  in November – and then there’s also
something fantastic bubbling and growing, which I can’t say anything about
yet…  but it’s starting to come together and getting real!
Eeeckk… I hope to reveal it soon!

All in all, I had no time to also create a new online workshop for this Fall,
so I decided to offer two existing (and popular) online workshops again.

The online workshops that will start in September are:

Let it Loose (September 12 – October 20; 2011)

This workshop will loosen you up and take you
a step further in creating your own, unique art
journal pages. You’ll learn some basic writing
techniques to improve your journaling and you
will get tips and techniques to use your own
handwriting (You dislike your own handwriting?
You might be surprised what you can do with it!)
Furthermore, you will learn art techniques like
working with collages, paint, colours, gesso and
gel medium.

A Creative Art Journey (September 13 – October 21; 2011)

If you love art journaling and are eager to learn some
art history along the way, this is the workshop for you!
In 12 lessons you will be introduced to 12 different art
periods in time. Each lesson concentrates on a specific
art period, handling the characteristics and showing
the artists and highlights. Every lesson comes with
multiple prompts – inspired by the specific period/art –
from which you can choose which one suites you best.
You will learn about Ancient art, Renaissance,
Impressionism, Cubism and others.

And then there are still some places available for live Workshop by the sea

November 4 to 7, 2011 (National / Dutch)
November 11 to 14, 2011 (International / Bilingual:
Dutch-English)

This weekend will take place on the inspiring peninsula
of Walcheren (Province of Zeeland) in the Netherlands.

Besides binding your own book/art journal, working
with different techniques to create backgrounds and
a haiku workshop (provided by the writer/poet
Johanna Kruit), I will also teach you how to create
an ingeniously folded booklet.

Last weekend, I made such a folded booklet to use as an example in the
workshop. Here’s a sneak peek.

All  information about the workshops on the website: Marit’s Paper World

Registration for the online workshops is possible in the  shop.

If you are interested in the live workshop, then let me know
and I will e-mail you with further information about registration.

I’m sure you can guess what more I created last weekend!
Yep, right

The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – Week 31

(30 x 21 cm - 11.8 x 8.3 inch)

The background is gessoed. After that, I added acrylic paint and spray ink.
The ‘bubbles’ are made with paint and a sequin waste (template). The photo
is a cut-out from a magazine. Tiny alphabet stickers (October Afternoon)
used for ‘week’ and ‘month’ and journaling/doodling with sharpies.

I’ll be back on Friday with another art journal page.
Maybe even two 😉
