Friday haiku & art journaling

It’s been weeks… months since I wrote a haiku, due to life circumstances (see former post.) I am walking a tightrope, maintaining a precarious balance, but gradually I am entering calmer waters, so when my brother sent me the following comment + photo, I ventured into writing a haiku.

“Try to make a Friday haiku on this one 😆”

Vuilniszakken. Blik.
Plastic. Glas. Een oud matras
en één zonnebloem.

Garbage bags. Tin cans.
Plastic. Glass. An old mattress
and one sunflower.

Now that I am writing a post, I take the opportunity to show you the next art journal spreads in my Grandes Chaleurs” journal (11.7 x 8.3″ – 29,5 x 21 cm).

I created this one back in February already but had not show it yet

Grandes Chaleurs art journal: “this was personal” (Februari 2026)

The first time back in my atelier; after weeks of stress, worry, sadness and grief over the death of my mother; I created this spread. (The poem on this spread is written by my mum, Johanna Kruit, who was a writer and poet.)

Kiss your loved ones, hold on tight and have a lovely weekend.
