Mosselen drukken
ook hun identiteit uit.
Dit moet een Schot zijn!		 Mussels too like to
express their identity.
This must be a Scot!

It seems that the appointments I have lately are all on Wednesdays so I will not be around today – again.) I have a few things to show and since ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ I will not go on and rattle but just put the photos in this post… (probably with a little explanation – I know I can’t help myself.)

First: a photo of my desk and what’s on it this morning. After alll, that is why you came to visit me isn’t it?

WOYWW #488

When you are a regular visitor you know I have a yellow, plastic cutlery tray on my desk that holds my markers, pens and pencils. Part of those pens (black markers) moved to another holder ’cause look what I found last week on a flea market…!

This wooden box is originally to store sigarets but when I saw it standing at the market stall I thought it would be perfect for markers. And it is!

On to the art journaling… here’s the latest two spreads in my weekly ‘visual diary’ – the journal is on my desk (see top photo) and I’m working on a spread for week 40 (which was last week.)

The Chronicles of Marit 2018 – Week 38

 

The Chronicles of Marit 2018 – Week 39

I’m still drawing – here’s what I ate for dinner on September 28 (my fave food: mussels! This was a pre-birthday-dinner with my beloved and parents.)

And last but not least: next week my online workshop A CREATIVE ART JOURNEY starts. There’s still time to register and I would be over the moon if you joined!

This online workshop combines art history with scrapping/art journaling.

Lessons available in English and Dutch

October 16 – November 23; 2018
(12 lessons over 6 weeks; posted on Tuesdays and Fridays)

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. More info on my website HERE

That’s all for now, I’m off to do something special (I’ll tell about it later…) Thanks for your visit, enjoy your day.
