<p><em><strong>Hi, hello, goodmorning, Quirky Dutch Summer is back!</strong></em></p>
<p>Welcome to all my Quirky online friends who, of course, are eager (at least I hope so&#8230;!) to read the first inspiration post of this series. It was about time that I picked up the QDS series again&#8230; the last series ran in 2015. I planned to organise another QDS series last year but, as most of you know, an unexpected housemove threw a spanner in the works &#8230;  well, not a spanner &#8211; it was magic powder because my beloved and I wanted nothing more than leave that &#8216;scary flat&#8217; that we &#8211; due to circumstances &#8211; were forced to live in.</p>
<p>Anyway, we moved and settled in our new apartment and it&#8217;s with a lot of happiness and extra energy that I can focus on Quirky Dutch Summer series now. A year later than planned also means that the enthusiasm (on my part) to jump in is even bigger than ever. We are going to make it a wonderful, creative Dutch Summer!</p>
<p>I said &#8216;we&#8217; &#8211; because as announced, I am not the only one who writes inspiring blogposts in this series. There are a number of enthusiastic guest artist-bloggers ready to share their inspiration with you too! Over the next few weeks you will see them pop up on this blog one by one.</p>
<p>I wish you a wonderful, inspirational Quirky Dutch Summer!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #1. Journal with a canvas cover</strong><strong><br />
</strong></h2>
<p>I kick off this Quirky Dutch Summer series with a tutorial that shows you how to bind a simple art journal &#8211; the journal looks a bit like a school exercise book (is that the right word for it?) with a soft cover and the fun is in the cover&#8230; it is made out of canvas. I got this idea a few months ago, when a friend (hi Marie!) visited me and brought her art journal&#8230; I was not only seized by the work in her self-made journal but also by the journal itself, especially the canvas cover: &#8230; but where did you gét that? It&#8217;s quite a hassle to find a piece of canvas&#8230; &#8221; I said. &#8220;Of course not&#8221; she replied, &#8220;you just buy a cheap prepared canvas in a dollar store and cut the cloth from the frame&#8230;!&#8221;</p>
<p>How come I never thought of that myself&#8230;?!</p>
<p>So I went to a store that sells cheap canvasses &#8211; you probably have those in your neighbourhood too &#8211; and I created my first canvas-covered-journal (see <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/last-call-and-my-desk-for-woyww-512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this blogpost</a>) A journal like this is easy to make and the binding is super-simple, it&#8217;s the cover that makes the journal look special and you know what? YOU can do it too!</p>
<p>So I made another journal like that and photographed the process&#8230; are you ready? Then Quirky Dutch Summer starts NOW&#8230;!</p>
<p><strong>What do you need?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>(Cheap) canvas</li>
<li>Craft knive</li>
<li>Ruler, pencil</li>
<li>Glue (I use bookbinding glue but other glue will probably work as well)</li>
<li>Bookbinding thread (waxed cotton or other strong thread will do)</li>
<li>Acrylic paint, stencils, brushes, brayers, palet knives or old credit card (and/or other &#8216;things&#8217; to decorate your cover. You can think of stamps, collage images et cetera &#8211; see tutorial)</li>
<li>Paper for the pages/content (see tips and ideas in this tutorial)</li>
</ul>
<p>Buy a cheap canvas &#8211; mine costs 1.39 Euro (1.56 American dollar)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25778" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Cut the canvas cloth from the frame.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25779" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS02-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>You can of course try to get the staples out (but that will cost you your nails and leave little holes in the canvas) or cut at the back of the frame but I keep it simple and cut the cloth at the front of the frame (see photo.) I don&#8217;t bother about the size &#8211; I will cut my content-paper later so that it fits the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25780" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS03-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And the wooden frame? I think I&#8217;ll keep it (if I can find a space where I can store it in my overstashed atelier) I can probably use it someday in the future&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25781" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS04-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>The cut out canvas is of course never quite straight&#8230; so I draw a neat rectangle and cut the canvas to square.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25782" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And here&#8217;s my plain cover! I do want to fold the edges though, to help the edge look nice and the journal will be easier to open.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25783" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Wait, I&#8217;ll get my first-made journal so I can show you. See? There&#8217;s a hem of approximately a centimeter and a half (a little less than an inch.)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good thing I looked at this older journal because now I notice that I did not decorate the back of the cover, it&#8217;s plain white and that doesn&#8217;t look nice.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25784" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>I choose &#8216;lime&#8217; to paint the inside/back of the cover, it looks quirky and happy now doesn&#8217;t it? (&#8220;Which side of the cloth is front and which is the back&#8221; you might ask? Well, the back of your canvas looks just a little different than the front; slightly less &#8216;smooth/prepared&#8217;, but it doesn&#8217;t matter much what side you put up.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25785" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>When the back is dry, flip over the canvas &#8217;cause we will work on the front now. I used acrylic paint and stencils to decorate the front but you can use all kinds of materials and techniques&#8230; you could make a collage on the front, for example (but you will loose that &#8216;canvas/cloth look&#8217; then) or stamp on it and maybe even spray ink will work? (I did not try that, I&#8217;m affraid the ink will not dry nicely and stain.)</p>
<p>I choose bright, happy, &#8216;sunny&#8217; colors and used a brayer to add the basic layer on the canvas cloth.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25786" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>And now the fun starts: I took out some stencils (and a toilet roll, I like toilet rolls to stamp with!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25787" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>You can dab the paint through the stencil with a brush (use an old brush) That way, you can apply a thin layer of paint (see the yellow herringbone motive.) You can also use a palet knife (or credit card) to smear the paint through the stencil, which gives a thick layer that adds dimension to the design.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25788" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a detail of the latter&#8230; the paint lays onto the surface.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25789" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Do take the time to let the paint dry before adding another design/color (use a heat tool to speed up the process) otherwise you will smear the wet paint when you put another stencil on it too soon.</p>
<p>Decorate your canvas cover the way you like&#8230; what is your style? What do YOU like? Do you prefere a calm cover &#8211; using colors in the same scheme &#8211; or do you want to go wild and add all the colors of the rainbow? It&#8217;s totally up to you!</p>
<p>In the end I used three stencils (the &#8216;herringbone&#8217; one, the circles and the triangles.) I alse used bubble plastic and the toilet roll to stamp paint. Decorate the piece of canvas until you are satisfied with it. NOTE: if you want to add text and/or an image on your cover, stay away 0.7 inch (1,5 cm) from the edges. Remember, we will fold the edges!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25790" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Are you ready? Are you satisfied with the way your cover looks? Is the canvas dry?</p>
<p>Then turn it around and draw a thin line 0.7 inch (1,5 cm) from the edges (see image.) Cut the corners as indicated on the photo.</p>

<p>Fold and glue the edges.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25792" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>So, that&#8217;s your cover! Now we go work on the content&#8230; I used per signature (in bookbinding, the word &#8216;signature&#8217; refers to a group of sheets, folded in the middle, and bound into the binding together.) two sheets of thick paper. That means that there will be four pages per signature. I bind four signatures so in total (let me calculate&#8230;) I will have 16 pages in my journal. Yes? Can you follow? You can of course use more or less signatures/sheets/pages.</p>
<p>I used <a href="https://www.dekwast.nl/artikel/tekenblok-kopgelijmd-180gr/1?bron=shopping_NL&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI16_Gn6a74gIVV_hRCh3nQQ7TEAQYASABEgJLHfD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">180 gr/83 lbs Schut drawing paper</a> but you can fill your journal with whatever paper you want (lined paper, colored paper or even fabric.) When you use thin paper, you might want to put more sheets into a signature&#8230; set up a content you like.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25793" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS14-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>The size of the canvas cover is the size of the sheets minus &#8216;something&#8217;. Because the canvas cover folds to close the journal, the pages have to be smaller than the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25794" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Let me show you: because you fold the canvas around the signatures, the signatures protrudes from the cover. I cannot give you exact measurements on this because it all depends on the size of your canvas and your paper&#8230; but I can show you!</p>
<p>Bundle your signatures and fold your cover around it as shown.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25795" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>See how much your pages stick out? Now measure how much you need to cut from the sheets to make them fall nicely into the cover.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25796" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="726" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Fold open, my sheets look like this.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25797" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Next, we will prepare the cover for binding the signatures.</p>
<p>For a start, find the middle of your cover.<br />
I have four signatures to bind &#8211; so I draw four thin lines from the middle with a 0.3 inch (o,5 cm) distance from each other. (My &#8216;mid-line&#8217; is in between the inner two lines, see that?)  When you have more signatures to bind, draw more lines. (If you have an uneven number of signatures, bind one exactly in the middle.)</p>
<p>Now mark the place of the holes &#8211; the easy ones are the ones that are exactly in the middle.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25798" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Put one of the sheets/pages next to the lines and decide where the top and bottom binding holes have to come&#8230; mark the place approximately 0.7 to 1 inch (1,5 to 2 cm) from the top and bottom <em>of your pages</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25799" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="742" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20-243x300.jpg 243w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Use a puncture pen or needle to put holes on the marked places and do the same with your paper signatures/content. The most simple way to do that is to punch/prick the holes into one sheet of paper and then use this sheet as a template to punch the holes into the other sheets. (Fold the sheet-with-the-holes-in-it into the next signature and stick through the already visable holes.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25800" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ready? Then we can start binding the signatures into the cover.</p>
<p>I showed this way of binding in a former Quirky post (2015) so I will now link you to that tutorial where you can find that tutorial at the end of the post (scroll down a bit to find it)</p>

<p><em><strong>Hallo, goedemorgen, Quirky Dutch Summer is terug!</strong> </em></p>
<p>Welkom aan al mijn Quirky online vrienden en vriendinnen die natuurlijk (dat hoop ik tenminste&#8230;!) staan te popelen om de eerste inspiratie post van deze serie te lezen. Het werd wel weer eens tijd ook, dat ik de QDS serie oppakte&#8230; de laatste stamt alweer uit 2015. Ik was het vorig jaar echt van plan maar zoals de meesten wel weten kwam er toen een onverwachte verhuizing tussendoor die roet in het eten gooide&#8230; of, nou ja, geen roet maar &#8216;magic powder&#8217; want mijn lief en ik wilden niets liever dan wég uit de &#8216;enge flat&#8217; waar we wegens omstandigheden in terecht waren gekomen. Enfin, we zijn dus verhuisd en gesetteld en heel gelukkig in ons nieuwe appartementje en nu kan Quirky Dutch Summer dan echt weer van start gaan. Een jaar later dan gepland betekent ook dat het enthousiasme (van mijn kant) nóg groter is om je te inspireren en om er een prachtige, creatieve zomer van te maken.</p>
<p>Zoals aangekondigd ben ik niet de enige die je inspirerende blogposts voor ga schotelen&#8230; er staan een aantal enthousiaste gastbloggers te springen om hun inspiratie met jullie te delen! De komende weken zie je ze allemaal voorbijkomen.</p>
<p>Ik wens je een prachtige, inspirerende Quirky Dutch Summer!</p>
<h2><strong>QDS #1. </strong><strong>Journal met canvas kaft<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Ik trap deze Quirky Dutch Summer serie af met een tutorial die laat zien hoe je een simpel art journal kunt binden &#8211; het journal lijkt een beetje op een schoolschrift met een slappe kaft maar het leuke is, dat je die kaft van canvas maakt. Ik kreeg dit idee enige maanden geleden, toen een vriendin (hai Marie!) me bezocht en haar art journal meenam&#8230; ik werd niet alleen gegrepen door het werk ín haar zelf-gemaakte journal maar ook door de kaft, die ze had gemaakt van canvas &#8220;&#8230; maar waar háál je dat dan? Het is nogal een gedoe om los canvas te kopen lijkt me&#8230;&#8221; zei ik. &#8220;Welnee&#8221; was haar antwoord, &#8220;je koopt gewoon zo&#8217;n goedkoop geprepareerd doek en dat snijd je dan los van het frame.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dat ik dáár nou zelf nooit aan gedacht heb&#8230;!</p>
<p>Op naar de Action dus&#8230; en mijn eerste canvas-kaft-journal was een feit (zie <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/last-call-and-my-desk-for-woyww-512/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deze blogpost</a>) Zo&#8217;n journal(tje) is heel simpel te maken &#8211; de pagina&#8217;s zijn met een super-simpele steek ingebonden, het bijzondere zit &#8216;m in de uitstraling van de kaft &#8211; en dat kun JIJ ook!</p>
<p>Ik maakte dus nóg zo&#8217;n schrift-journal om jullie te laten zien hoe ik het deed. Ben je er klaar voor? Dan trappen we Quirky Dutch Summer NU af&#8230;!</p>
<p><strong>Wat heb je nodig?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>(Goedkoop) canvas doekje</li>
<li>Snijmesje (Stanley mes, afbreekmesje)</li>
<li>Lineaal, potlood</li>
<li>Lijm (ik gebruik boekbindlijm)</li>
<li>Boekbind draad (waxed katoen of ander sterk draad)</li>
<li>Acryl verf, stencils, kwasten, verfrollertje, paletmes of oude creditcard (of iets anders om je kaft te bewerken&#8230; denk collage b.v. &#8211; zie verderop in tutorial)</li>
<li>Papier voor de inhoud (zie tips/ideeën over inhoud verderop in tutorial)</li>
</ul>
<p>Koop een goedkoop canvas doekje (ik kocht de mijne bij de Action voor 1,39 euro)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25778" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS01-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Snijd de canvas los van het houten frame.</p>

<p>Je kunt proberen de nietjes eruit te peuteren (maar dan heb je gaatjes in de rand van je canvas) of de canvas aan de achterkant los snijden maar ik houd het graag zo simpel mogelijk&#8230; ik snijd dus aan de voorkant het doek los.</p>

<p>En dat frame-pje? Daar kan ik vast later nog wel iets mee, dus dat bewaar ik (als ik nog een plekje kan vinden om het op te bergen *lol*)</p>

<p>Het uitgesneden canvas is natuurlijk nooit helemaal recht&#8230; ik teken een keurige rechthoek af op het losse doek en snijd het canvas nu mooi haaks uit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25782" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS05-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En dit wordt mijn kaft&#8230; maar ik wil wél een omslagje aan de randen, zodat ik het journal straks wat makkelijker kan openen én om de rand mooi af te werken.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25783" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Wacht, ik pak even mijn voorheen gemaakte journal erbij zodat ik het kan laten zien&#8230; kijk, een &#8216;zoompje&#8217; van een centimeter of wat. Ik zie nu ook meteen dat ik de achterkant van dit doekje niet heb bewerkt&#8230; dat &#8216;wit&#8217; ziet er maar kaal uit, dat ga ik nu anders doen!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25784" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS06a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik geef de binnenkant van mijn kaft-in-wording een kleurtje: &#8220;Lime Green&#8221;, lekker quirky en zomers, toch?! (En wat is nou de voor- en wat is de achterkant zul je misschien vragen? Nou, de achterkant van je canvas ziet er net iets anders uit dan de voorkant, iets minder &#8216;glad/geprepareerd&#8217;, maar in feite maakt het niet zoveel uit welke kant je &#8216;voor&#8217; of &#8216;achter&#8217; noemt.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25785" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS07-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En dan nu naar de voorkant van je canvas kaft&#8230; ik gebruik acrylverf en stencils om deze te bewerken maar je kunt hier natuurlijk allerlei technieken op los laten&#8230; je zou een collage kunnen maken op de kaft (maar dan verlies je de &#8216;canvas look&#8217;), of stempelen en misschien werkt spray inkt ook wel (of zou dat blijven afgeven/vlekken? Dat heb ik niet uitgeprobeerd.)</p>
<p>Zelf koos ik wat zomerse kleurtjes acryl verf en rolde eerst een &#8216;basislaag&#8217; op het canvas doek.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25786" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS08-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Daarna haalde ik wat stencils uit de kast (en een wc-rolletje doet het ook altijd goed!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25787" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS09-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>En toen ging ik los met verschillende kleuren acrylverf.</p>
<p>Je kunt met een kwast de verf door het stencil tamponeren (neem niet je beste kwast hiervoor!) Je krijgt dan een dun laagje verf op je doek (zie de gele &#8216;visgraat&#8217;) maar je kunt de verf ook met een paletmes (of creditcard) door het stencil wrijven. De verflaag is dan dikker en dat geeft dimensie&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25788" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&#8230; kijk maar. De verf ligt mooi óp het doek.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25789" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS10a-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Laat tussendoor wel steeds je verf drogen (een heat tool versnelt het proces) zodat je met een volgend stencil/kleur niet alles uitsmeert en vlekken maakt.</p>
<p>Bewerk je canvas kaft helemaal zoals je het zelf wilt&#8230; wat is jouw stijl? Wat vind jij mooi? Hou je het heel rustig &#8211; een journal in aardetinten of één kleurenpalet &#8211; of trek je juist alle kleurtjes die je hebt uit de kast? Dat is aan jou!</p>
<p>Ik gebruikte uiteindelijk drie soorten stencils (de &#8216;visgraat&#8217;, de cirkels en de &#8216;driehoekjes&#8217;) en vulde dat aan door te stempelen met bubbeltjes-plastic en een wc rolletje. Bewerk je canvas net zolang totdat je tevreden bent. Mocht je tekst of afbeeldingen op je kaft/canvas willen gebruiken, houd er dan rekening mee dat er nog ongeveer 1,5 cm aan de randen van je beeld &#8216;af vallen&#8217; (de rand wordt namelijk omgeslagen, weet je nog?!)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25790" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS11-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Ben je klaar? Is je canvas helemaal droog?<br />
Draai het doekje dan om en teken een lijn van 1,5 cm rondom. De hoeken knip/snijd je af zoals op onderstaande foto is aangegeven.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25791" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS12-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Lijm de randen nu naar binnen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25792" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS13-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Dan gaan we nu naar de inhoud&#8230; ik gebruikte per &#8216;katern&#8217; (een katern is een groepje papiervellen die je in elkaar vouwt) twee vellen papier. Dat betekent dat je dan 4 pagina&#8217;s per katern hebt. In totaal bind ik vier katernen in, dat betekent (even rekenen hoor&#8230;) 16 bladzijden. Ja? Snap je het nog? Meer of minder kan natuurlijk ook.</p>
<p>Ik gebruik <a href="https://www.dekwast.nl/artikel/tekenblok-kopgelijmd-180gr/1?bron=shopping_NL&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI16_Gn6a74gIVV_hRCh3nQQ7TEAQYASABEgJLHfD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">180 gr. Schut tekenpapier</a> maar je kunt je journal vullen met wat je maar wilt&#8230; gekleurd of gelinieerd papier b.v. of dikker of dunner papier. Je kunt ook meer vellen papier per katern gebruiken.</p>

<p>De canvas kaft is de maat van je vellen papier min &#8216;een beetje&#8217; omdat je de boel dichtvouwt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25794" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS15-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Omdat je je canvas omslag om de katernen heen vouwt, moet de inhoud wat kleiner zijn dan je kaft anders steken de bladzijden uit. Ik kan je daar geen maten voor geven omdat het allemaal afhangt van de maat van jouw kaft&#8230; ik kan het wél laten zien. Kijk&#8230; leg de katernen op een stapeltje op je canvas kaft en vouw het geheel dicht.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25795" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS16-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Je ziet nu hoeveel de pagina&#8217;s nog uitsteken. Meet op hoeveel je nog ongeveer van je pagina&#8217;s af moet snijden om de pagina&#8217;s ín de kaft te laten vallen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25796" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="726" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS17-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Opengevouwen op het canvas ziet het er bij mij zo uit.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25797" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS18-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Nu gaan we de kaft voorbereiden voor het inbinden van de katernen.</p>
<p>Zoek om te beginnen het midden van je kaft op.<br />
Ik heb vier katerenen in te binden, daarom teken ik op gelijke afstand van elkaar vier dunne potlood lijnen af (op ongeveer 0,5 cm afstand van elkaar.) Mijn &#8216;midden&#8217; ligt dus tussen de binnenste twee lijnen in, zie je het? Bind je meer katernen in? Trek dan meer lijnen.</p>
<p>Geef vervolgens de plaats van de gaatjes aan. Er komt in ieder geval een gaatje in het midden van de lijnen.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25798" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS19-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Leg vervolgens een katern naast de lijnen en bepaal waar je boven- en ondergaatjes moeten komen. Deze komen 1,5 tot 2 cm vanaf de rand van je papier/bladzijde. Teken die gaatjes af op je canvas.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25799" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="742" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS20-243x300.jpg 243w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Prik nu de gaatjes in je canvas met een prikpen (of naald) en doe dat ook met je papieren katernen. Het handigste is om in één vel papier de gaatjes op de juiste plaats door te prikken en dit vel vervolgens als sjabloon te gebruiken om in de rest van de vellen de gaatjes te prikken. (Schuif het vel-met-gaatjes binnen in je volgende katern en prik de gaatjes door.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25800" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS21-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Alles klaar? Dan kun je de katernen nu in gaan binden!<br />
Ik liet deze inbind-techniek al zien in een vorige Quirky post (van 2015) dus ik verwijs je nu naar die oude blogpost, waar je een duidelijke uitleg/tutorial vindt (het laatste gedeelte van die post, even doorscrollen dus&#8230;)</p>
<p>Klik <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/quirky-dutch-summer-1-1/#nederlandsqds1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>HIER</strong></a> voor de uitleg/tutorial van deze bindtechniek.</p>
<p>En zó ziet mijn &#8216;cahier-journal&#8217; er uit, klaar voor gebruik.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25801" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="725" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22.jpg 600w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS22-248x300.jpg 248w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik koos een vrolijk kleurtje draad (waxed cotton) voor de binding.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS23.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-25802" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS23.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS23.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS23-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2019-06-10-QDS23-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>Veel plezier met het maken/binden van je eigen schrift-journaaltje!</p>

When I applied for the DT &#8211; in April 2016 &#8211;  it was with ulterior motives. Not only do I admire Jessica&#8217;s art and did it seem awesome to be able to work with her designed stencils and stamps, I also could do with a bit of consistency&#8230; with illness in the family and looking at surgical procedures coming up (my mum, my beloved) I faced an insecure year and had no idea what the months ahead would bring. I thought it would help me &#8216;come through&#8217; when I would be a member of Jessica&#8217;s Design Team so that I could keep on making art on a regular base without laying too much pressure on myself. I am ever so grateful that Jessica accepted my submission and brought me into her Design Team, it was exactly what I needed!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, a year later, everyone is healthy and happy again and it&#8217;s time for me to move on and dive deeper into my own art again. It was a pleasure to create these tutorials for you. You can find today&#8217;s tutorial <a href="http://jessicasporn.blogspot.nl/2017/08/atcs-with-stencils-and-modeling-paste.html" target="_blank"><strong>HERE</strong></a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to the October blog hop for the Jessica Sporn Designs Creative Team. Today I&#8217;m hopping along with <strong><em>Lizzy Wurmann</em></strong>, <strong><em>Sherry Canino</em></strong>, <strong><em>Kristin Van Valkenburgh</em></strong>, <strong><em>Denise Alloca</em></strong> and <strong><em>Jessica Sporn</em></strong> to share some fall creations using Jessica&#8217;s stamps and stencils.</p>
<p>We have a great giveaway and because it was my birthday last Sunday I add an extra personal giveaway to the event. OH-MY, are you lucky today!</p>
<p>I bet you are curious to see what those giveaways include so before I take you to the small tutorial I created for you, here&#8217;s what you can win.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>One lucky commenter will win Jessica&#8217;s <em>Cascading Leaves</em> stencil and <em>Tree of Life</em> stamp</strong></span>. All comments on all the blog hop participants count &#8211; so make sure to visit everyone and leave some kind words. The list and links of the blog hop team members is at the end of this post.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/giveaway-jessica.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21118" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/giveaway-jessica.jpg" alt="giveaway-jessica" width="633" height="461" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/giveaway-jessica.jpg 633w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/giveaway-jessica-300x218.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px" /></a></p>
<p>And then there&#8217;s my personal birthday-giveaway: a packet of Autumn/Halloween related papers, ephemera &amp; embellishments. I also include 10 of my art-postcards and a little notebook.<br />
<span style="color: #800000;"><strong>This giveaway goes to one commenter on this blog</strong></span>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Jessica gave us the title &#8220;Frightful Fall&#8221; to work with for this bloghop&#8230; eeeckkk. I understand where the &#8216;frightful&#8217; comes from, I have a lot of American friends and bloggers among my followers, but we don&#8217;t celebrate Halloween in The Netherlands so this theme was quite a challenge for me! I decided to throw my birthday in the mix and make a card that you can use to send to someone who celebrates a birthday at Halloween. Or, when you alter the sentiment, this could be a card to invite your friends to a Halloween party. Are you in the mood yet?</p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s move on to the tutorial then:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cut a heavy white paper or cardstock to card size (this example is approx. 5&#8243; x 7.5&#8243;)</li>
<li>Paint the background with orange acrylic paint. You could also take a piece of orange card stock for the basics, but I like the texture of the paint strokes on the background.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Next, stamp with Versamark and Jessica Sporn&#8217;s stamp <a href="https://rubbermoon.com/collections/jessica-sporn/products/krishna-js5242g-rubber-art-stamp-1" target="_blank">Krishna</a></li>
<li>Emboss the image with black embossing powder.</li>
</ul>

<p>The Shiva image does not look frightful or scary at all, and because I want this to be some sort of &#8216;scary&#8217; card I looked for images of &#8216;scary eyes&#8217;&#8230; After flipping through many (many!) magazines, cutting out all sorts of eyes, I still had not found what I was looking for so I went online and found some drawings that I could use the eyes from.</p>

<ul>
<li>Give the face a different, more scary look by gluing different eyes over the stamped image.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Next, take Jessica Sporn&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-hands-jessica-sporn-p/l179.htm" target="_blank">Hand stencil</a> and find the first hand you want to use. Cover the surrounding openings/hands with paper so that you cannot accidentally stamp onto these also.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Stamp and emboss the image of the hand, coming from the edge, with black embossing powder. You could also use black acrylic paint or paint spray, but I like the glossy shine that the heated embossing powder shows.</li>
<li>Repeat the above step, using different images of hands.</li>
</ul>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21091" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg" alt="07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca" width="800" height="600" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca.jpg 800w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/07-tutorial-halloweenbdayca-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Write a text/sentiment on your card (alternative: print and cut strips of the texts, use alphabet stickers etc.) I found the following texts that you could use:<br />
&#8211; Have a frightful &amp; delightful birthday.<br />
&#8211; (You&#8217;re invited to) a trick or treat BOO-thday.<br />
&#8211; Have a SPOOKtacular birthday.<br />
&#8211; May your Halloween birthday be less terrifying than aging.</li>
<li>Ink the edges of the card (hold your paper at an upright angle and run it against the edge of your inkpad)</li>
<li>Splattering some black ink or paint on the card makes for a more scary/spooky look and finishes the card off.</li>
</ul>

<h2><strong>QDS #8. Painterly Effects with Stamps and Stencils<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Hi – I am so thrilled to be part of this Quirky Dutch Summer! Thank you so much Marit for inviting me to be part of the wonderful group of artists participating this year.</p>
<p>I design stamps for Rubbermoon, and stencils for Stencil Girl Products. So I thought I would share a tutorial showing some of the ways I use stamps and stencils. I can’t wait to see what you create!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18869" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-1" width="500" height="509" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1-295x300.jpg 295w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>1. Pick out two or three colors close to each other on the color wheel. I used shades of red and yellow. Lay your stencil over your background, and pounce the colors. (Here, I’m using the <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l091.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dots and Dashes stencil</a> from Stencil Girl Products.) Instead of mixing the colors together on your palette, overlap them as you pounce the colors with your cosmetic sponge. (Stenciling tip: Dab your cosmetic puff into paint, and then dab the paint off onto your palette. Then pounce on your stencil using an up and down motion.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18870" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-2" width="457" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg 457w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2-274x300.jpg 274w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px" /></a></p>
<p>2. Mix your lighter color (I used yellow), with equal parts glazing medium. (You can also water down your paint, but I prefer using a medium.) Glaze over your background, eliminating any white spots while letting your stencil pattern show through. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with another stencil. (Here, I used my <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l203.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Squares and Circles stencil</a> from <em>Stencil Girl Products</em>.) Continue until you have a background that’s pleasing to you.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18871" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-3" width="401" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg 401w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3-241x300.jpg 241w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px" /></a></p>
<p>3. Stamp your focal and other images onto tissue paper using black archival ink. Don’t worry about getting a great impression; we are going to paint over these images. (I’m using my <a href="http://rubbermoon.com/collections/jessica-sporn/products/peacock-motif-js5250i-rubber-art-stamp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Peacock Motif</a> and <a href="http://rubbermoon.com/collections/jessica-sporn/products/ornate-leaf-js5248b-rubber-art-stamp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ornate Leaf</a>  stamps from <em>Rubbermoon</em>.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-18872 alignnone" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-4" width="479" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg 479w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4-287x300.jpg 287w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px" /></a></p>
<p>4. “Cut out” your stamped images by painting around them with a thin brush dipped in water. Gently separate the images from tissue paper.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18873" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-5" width="472" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg 472w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5-283x300.jpg 283w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /></a></p>
<p>5. Using matte medium, adhere your tissue paper images onto your background. Make sure to put a layer of matte medium under the images, and then brush over them with the matte medium. The white parts of the tissue paper will “disappear” as the matte medium dries, giving the illusion that you stamped directly onto your background.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18874" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-6" width="515" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg 515w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6-300x291.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /></a></p>
<p>6. Using contrasting colors, paint over the stamped images. Don’t worry about following the outlines exactly. This is about adding your personal touch and making the stamped images your own. Adjust your background as desired.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18875" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-7" width="508" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg 508w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7-300x295.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px" /></a></p>
<p>7. Use a cap from a tube of toothpaste or a glue stick, bubble wrap, or other household items to add some white and/or black marks over and around your images. Splatter with some paint, add dots, have fun!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18876" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-8" width="500" height="454" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8-300x272.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>8. Enjoy your creation – which will now look uniquely your own!</p>

<h2><strong>QDS #8. Schilderachtige effecten met behulp van stencils en stempels<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Hallo allemaal &#8211; ik ben helemaal verrukt dat ik deel mag uitmaken van deze Quirky Dutch Summer serie. Dank je, Marit, voor je uitnodiging. Het is geweldig om als gastblogger in het rijtje te staan van de groep fantastische kunstenaars die dit jaar deel nemen.</p>
<p>Omdat ik stempels ontwerp voor <em>Rubbermoon </em>en stencils voor <em>Stencil Girl Products</em>, leek het me leuk om jullie te vergasten op een tutorial die een aantal manieren laat zien waarop je stempels en stencils kunt gebruiken. Ik kan haast niet wachten om te zien wat jullie naar aanleiding hiervan gaan maken!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18869" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-1" width="500" height="509" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-1-295x300.jpg 295w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>1. Kies twee of drie kleuren uit die dicht bij elkaar liggen op de kleurenschijf. Ik gebruikte tinten rood en geel. Leg je stencil op je achtergrond en tamponeer de kleuren door je stencil. (Ik gebruik hier het stencil  <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l091.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dots and Dashes stencil</a> van Stencil Girl Products.) In plaats van de kleuren te mengen op je palet, overlap je de kleuren tijdens het tamponeren. Je gebruikt hiervoor het beste een sponsje. (Stencil tip: dep je sponsje in de verf, deb het vervolgens een paar keer op je palet voordat je met snelle op-en-neer bewegingen de verf door je stencil tamponeert.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18870" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-2" width="457" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2.jpg 457w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-2-274x300.jpg 274w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 457px) 100vw, 457px" /></a></p>
<p>2. Meng nu een lichte kleur verf (ik gebruikte geel) met gelijke delen &#8216;glazing medium&#8217;. (Je kunt ook je verf met water verdunnen, maar ik verkies het gebruik van dit medium.) Breng de verdunde kleur over op je achtergrond en werk daarbij de witte plekken op de pagina weg terwijl het patroon van het stencil zichtbaar blijft. Herhaal nu stap 1 en 2 met een ander stencil. (Ik gebruik <a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/product-p/l203.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Squares and Circles</a> van <em>Stencil Girl Products</em>.) Werk op deze manier door tot de achtergrond naar je zin is.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18871" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-3" width="401" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3.jpg 401w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-3-241x300.jpg 241w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 401px) 100vw, 401px" /></a></p>
<p>3. Stempel nu met zwarte Archival inkt de afbeelding(en) die je wilt gaan gebruiken op tissue papier. Maak je geen zorgen als de afdruk niet perfect is; we gaan namelijk toch over de afbeelding heen schilderen. (Ik gebruik de stempels <a href="http://rubbermoon.com/collections/jessica-sporn/products/peacock-motif-js5250i-rubber-art-stamp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Peacock Motif</a> en <a href="http://rubbermoon.com/collections/jessica-sporn/products/ornate-leaf-js5248b-rubber-art-stamp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ornate Leaf</a> van <em>Rubbermoon</em>.)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" size-full wp-image-18872 alignnone" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-4" width="479" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4.jpg 479w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-4-287x300.jpg 287w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px" /></a></p>
<p>4. <span id="resulttxt" class="mt-translation-content">Neem nu een dun penseeltje en &#8216;schilder&#8217; met water rondom de gestempelde afbeelding. Je kunt de afbeelding nu heel gemakkelijk los scheuren.<br />
</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18873" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-5" width="472" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5.jpg 472w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-5-283x300.jpg 283w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px" /></a></p>
<p>5. Bevestig de tissue-afbeelding nu met behulp van een mat medium (b.v. <em>Mod Podge</em> of <em>Gel Medium</em>) op de achtergrond. Breng een laagje medium aan op je achtergrond, leg je afbeelding erop en breng ook een laagje medium op de bovenkant aan. De witte gedeelten van het tissue papier &#8216;verdwijnen&#8217; als de medium is gedroogd. Zo krijg je de illusie dat de afbeelding rechtstreeks op je achtergrond gestempeld is.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18874" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-6" width="515" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6.jpg 515w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-6-300x291.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px" /></a></p>
<p>6. Schilder nu over je gestempelde afbeelding heen. Gebruik hiervoor contrasterende kleuren en maak je geen zorgen of je wel &#8216;binnen de lijntjes&#8217; blijft. Door er overheen te schilderen geef je de afbeelding namelijk een geheel eigen draai en een persoonlijke &#8216;touch.&#8217; Pas het beeld en de achtergrond aan zoals jij dat wilt.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18875" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-7" width="508" height="500" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7.jpg 508w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-7-300x295.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 508px) 100vw, 508px" /></a></p>
<p>7. Gebruik een dop van een tube tandpasta, de achterkant van je kwast, bubbeltjes folie of andere huishoudelijke artikelen om witte en zwarte afdrukken te maken rondom de hoofd-afbeelding. Spetter ook eens met verf of teken stippeltjes&#8230; voel je vrij!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18876" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-8" width="500" height="454" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-8-300x272.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>8. Tenslotte: geniet van je creatie, die er nu helemaal uniek en eigen uit ziet!</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-9.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-18877" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-9.jpg" alt="Sporn-QDS-9" width="500" height="685" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-9.jpg 500w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Sporn-QDS-9-219x300.jpg 219w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></a></p>
<p>Ik maakte ook een versnelde video van het werkproces. Ik praat natuurlijk in het Engels, maar de videobeelden laten helder en duidelijk alle hierboven vermelde stappen zien.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I love poetry.<br />
I am especially fond of &#8216;found poetry&#8217;, and I mean found in all its forms&#8230; found in book titles, found in magazines, on book pages, cut out words and sentences &#8211; you name it. There is so much possible when it comes to &#8216;found poetry&#8217;&#8230; and this kind of poetry is also great to use on art journal pages also.</p>
<p>I therefore started FOUND POETRY FRIDAY &#8211; everyone is welcome to play along!</p>
<p>There is an <strong>&#8220;Inlinkz&#8221;-list at the end of this post</strong>. If you want to share your found poems, you are welcome to add your name to the list that will link us to your blogpost.</p>
<p><strong>You can post your found poem on your own blog any time during the week, so you don&#8217;t have to make YOUR Fridays all about poetry &#8211; you just link us to the post that contains your poem. Please use the url that goes directly to you &#8216;found poetry post.&#8217;</strong></p>
<p>Some time ago, <a href="http://inspirationeverywhere.blogspot.nl/" target="_blank">Michelle LaPoint Rydell</a> asked me: <em><strong>It would be really neat to see a blogpost of how you go about coming up with your poems. Do you lay a whole bunch of phrases out and then pick from that or do you look for certain words or how does that work?</strong><br />
</em></p>
<p>There are several ways to find a poem &#8211; for one thing, it depends on if you want to <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/found-booktitle-poetry-01.jpg" target="_blank">create a poem with booktitles</a> or maybe you like to <a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/012-found-poetry-friday.jpg" target="_blank">tore out an old bookpage on which you outline certain words</a>. However, today I show you the process I went through to find a poem from cut out words and sentences.</p>
<p>I created this background in my art journal earlier this week, and now I grabbed it to use the pages as a base for my found poem. I took step-by-step photos during the process&#8230; you can enlarge each photo for a better view. Enjoy!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know I am all into art journaling&#8230; and if you are too, I’m sure you have been to Tammy Garcia&#8217;s weblog <a href="http://daisyyellowart.com/" target="_blank">Daisy Yellow</a> before. Tammy invited me to write a guest post for her DPP (daily paper prompt) series and because I am not only into art journaling, but also into music ánd a fan of Tammy &#8211; I came up with a wonderful prompt! Well, at least I find it a wonderful prompt!</p>
<p>Hop on over to the<a href="http://daisyyellowart.com/icad/daily-paper-prompt-61-create-to-the-rhythm-of-the-music.html" target="_blank"> Daily Paper Prompt Posts at Daisy Yellow</a> to see my guest prompt and join the daily fun &#8211; Oh, and when you visit Daily Yellow, I advise you look a bit further than just the prompt I came up with and take a look at all the colourful gorgeousness and major inspiration Daily Yellow brings!</p>
<p>The Daily Paper Prompt I came up with is about getting inspired by the rhythm of music. I took photos during my creating process that make a little tutorial. Are you in for that? Come on in then&#8230;</p>
<p><b>DPP #61 &#8211; Create to the Rhythm of the music</b></p>
<p>First, I taped a big piece of blank paper onto cardboard and placed it on my easel.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14350" alt="01-sept2013-create-to-the-m" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m-214x300.jpg" width="214" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m-214x300.jpg 214w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/01-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px" /></a></p>
<p>I then put some paint on my palet. At this point, I did not know what music would be my inspiration, so I choose random colours that spoke to me at that moment.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14351" alt="02-sept2013-create-to-the-m" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m-300x214.jpg" width="300" height="214" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m-300x214.jpg 300w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/02-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 700w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></p>
<p>I decided to work with a palet-knife but you can choose whatever material or tool you like:<br />
brush and paint, pencils, crayons, pens and so on&#8230;</p>
<p>Now that my materials were in place, I was ready to go so I turned on the radio.<br />
I had no idea what music would be on. The radio played a song I never heard before<br />
and I just went with it. I started to smear paint on the paper to the rhythm of the song.</p>
<p>This is the image I ended up with&#8230; created to the tune with paint and a palet knife.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14352" alt="03-sept2013-create-to-the-m" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/03-sept2013-create-to-the-m-212x300.jpg" width="212" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The fun thing about this way of creating is, that the song does not need to have lyrics.<br />
You can even put on a cd with classical music &#8211; or hiphop, or house music&#8230; anything goes.</p>
<p>After I&#8217;d created this background, I got curious to what the song had been all about&#8230; so I looked on the internet and found the playlist of the radio station. The song was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5WyAjL1MM" target="_blank">Waves by Mr. Probz</a>, a Dutch rapper/artist I did not know. I had not thought he was a rapper, as the song does not sound like &#8216;rap&#8217; to me &#8211; I kinda like it even!</p>
<p>I also found the lyrics of the song <a href="http://www.songteksten.nl/songteksten/364049/mr--probz/waves.htm" target="_blank">here</a> and was surprised when I read those&#8230; I had used just the right &#8216;watery&#8217; colours! Then, I saw an image of a lighthouse and a boat (sail) popping out to me from the background, so I scribbled with a crayon and did some machine stitching to bring those shapes out.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14356" alt="04-sept2013-create-to-the-m" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m-230x300.jpg" width="230" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m-230x300.jpg 230w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/04-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px" /></a></p>
<p>The lighthouse deserved more attention, so I cut out the shape from old dictionary pages, sprayed a bit of ink on it and glued it onto the page. I added a moon (0r is it a sun?) and I journaled part of the lyrics on top of it.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the final piece.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-14357" alt="05-sept2013-create-to-the-m" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m-231x300.jpg" width="231" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m-231x300.jpg 231w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/05-sept2013-create-to-the-m.jpg 618w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px" /></a></p>
<p>Now it is your turn. Go grab your materials and turn on the radio&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but before you do, one last request</p>
<p><strong>I NEED YOUR HELP!!!</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/time-line-cover-issue-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14693" alt="time line cover-issue 4" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/time-line-cover-issue-4.jpg" width="851" height="315" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/time-line-cover-issue-4.jpg 851w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/time-line-cover-issue-4-300x111.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px" /></a></p>
<p>If you follow me, then you know I am the founder of <a href="http://www.featuringmagazine.com/" target="_blank">FEATURING magazine</a>.</p>
<p>FEATURING released four issues but we notice that still a lot of people haven&#8217;t heard of this magazine&#8230; and in order to keep this awesome art publication alive and going, we have to spread the word and get more brand awareness so we can reach more customers. The release of the next issue depends on that.</p>
<p>Therefore, we&#8217;ve partnered with Thunderclap to promote the magazine and I ask all my <strong>friends and fans to help promote the magazine.</strong></p>
<p>Thunderclap is an app that updates the Facebook status, Tumblr or Twitter feed from every person who clicks the link on the FEATURING thunderclap page. Thunderclap allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style. It only happens once and won’t spam your friends, but the end result is that if we reach the goal of 500 supporters, massive amounts of people are reached and the name of FEATURING magazine will be heard. We have only two weeks left to reach our goal of 500 people that click the link and support FEATURING…</p>
<p>Are you a friend and fan of me and FEATURING? Then please<a href=" http://thndr.it/15OjQip" target="_blank"> visit the FEATURING Thunderclap page</a> and donate a tweet or Facebook status update to help us promote the magazine.</p>
<p>Thanx!!!!</p>

<p>Hi there lovelies! Are you used to January yet?<br />
The New Year finally has settled in my mind &#8211; but I&#8217;m still a bit confused about the &#8220;3&#8221; in the number&#8230; it means I will turn 50 this year. Eeeckkk!</p>
<p>I suddenly got the jitters the other day to &#8216;clean up&#8217; my blog but I guess that&#8217;s normal to want to start &#8220;clean&#8221; when a new year starts. For your information: If you look at the top menu (waaayyy on top) you will see I re-arranged my galleries and also added a new page. I&#8217;ll take you through it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Home = obvious, you all know &#8220;Home&#8221; don&#8217;t you?</li>
<li>About = obvious too, learn more about me there.</li>
<li>Resume = I may have to work on that page. I&#8217;m not really sure what to do with it, what info goes/stays in, what goes out&#8230; I will think about it some more. For now I leave it as it is.</li>
<li>Blog series = a new page! This page will make it easy for you to find specific series of blogposts. I plan to do more &#8216;series&#8217; on my blog in the future and if I do, I will add the links there.</li>
<li>Art Journals = galleries showing my various art journals.</li>
<li>Chronicles = special galleries for my Chronicles &#8211; I though I&#8217;d keep them together so you can find all the former &#8220;Chronicles&#8221; art journals there.</li>
<li>Other = well&#8230; &#8216;other&#8217;, like mono-types, ATCs, mail art and so on.</li>
</ul>
<p>Besides re-arranging the top menu, I also made similar looking buttons that link to my website and social media pages&#8230; you can find them in the side menu. Before it was a bit messy with a little &#8216;twitter bird&#8217;, a facebook badge et cetera.</p>
<p>So far for the household notes &#8211; let&#8217;s move on to something creative shall we?</p>
<p>I will not write too much text as there are lots of photos to show.<br />
First &#8211; the last Chronicle pages from 2012 (<em>click on the photos to enlarge</em>)</p>
<p><strong>The Chronicles of Marit &#8211; Week 51 </strong>(yep, that&#8217;s a monotype)<strong><br />

<p><strong>The Chronicles of Marit 2013 &#8211; First page </strong></p>
<p>On this first page I reflected on my OLW (One Little Word) that I chose for the coming year. My word for 2013 is PERSEVERE (<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/?p=10013" target="_blank">see this post</a>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/artjournal-week00-OLW.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10792" title="artjournal-week00-OLW" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/artjournal-week00-OLW-196x300.jpg" alt="" width="196" height="300" srcset="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/artjournal-week00-OLW-196x300.jpg 196w, https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/artjournal-week00-OLW.jpg 590w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px" /></a></p>
<p>I made the first spread for week 1 in my new Chronicles art journal and I thought, since a lot of you asked before, I&#8217;d take photos of the process. I know a lot of you want to know how I work on these pages.</p>
<p>My way of working on these spreads changed over the years. I started with working on the spread during the week, adding something every day. Eventually, that didn&#8217;t work for me. The spreads looked disjointed when finished. Also, unexpected events could happen during the week and when it did, there was no room left on the pages to write about it or the &#8216;feel&#8217; of the page was all wrong (for instance, I started with a bright background and then it turned out to be a grumpy week.)</p>
<p>Luckely, I found a routine that works for me. I have a piece of scrap paper laying in the book on which I jott down what happens during the day. Just short notes. At the end of the week (mostly on Sunday) I start with making the spread. I make it in one or sometimes two sessions.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how I build up my pages.<br />

<p>Most of you who follow me for longer then a year recognize this logo&#8230;<br />
and the story behind it. For those who don&#8217;t know, a brief history<br />
(more posts will follow later!)</p>
<p>From Christmas to New Year,  the Radio 2 team presents the 2000<br />
favorite songs of the listeners. Music! 24 hours a day!<br />
A few years back, in the slipstream of the top 2000, I started my<br />
&#8216;<a href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/?p=4475" target="_blank">top 2000 blog party</a>&#8216;. I created art every day inspired by a song<br />
from the list. Everyone was invited to play along and create to<br />
the music &#8211; and I posted all the submissions on my blog.<br />
What succes it was! Even the top 2000 people picked up my &#8216;party&#8217;<br />
and came to film me, the video can still be seen <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKku4ylh2Qo" target="_blank">here on youtube</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This will be the fourth year that we will have this artful and musical<br />
blog party, and I know for sure that a lot of participants look forward<br />
to it as much as I do!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Marit's Paperworld Top 2000" href="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/?cat=374"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://www.maritspaperworld.com/blog/marit/blinkietop2000.gif" alt="" width="200" height="84" border="0" /></a></p>
<p>More information and &#8216;rules&#8217; will be posted on my blog once the<br />
&#8216;official list&#8217; is out&#8230; but that list should be composed still&#8230; and that is<br />
where today&#8217;s blogpost comes in!</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">The voting for the new top 2000 list 2012 has begun!</span></strong></p>
<p><em>Vote for your fave songs from November 16 &#8211; November 23</em></p>
<p>I made a &#8216;tutorial&#8217; for all my English-speaking fellow-artists who want<br />
to play along&#8230; the fun starts right here as you can now vote for your<br />
favourite songs to get in the list! The highest ranked 2000 songs will<br />
be played on the radio/Internet in the last week of 2012.</p>
<p>Look at the images below to see how it works &#8211; then go to the<br />
<a href="http://stemmen.top2000.nl/" target="_blank">TOP 2000 VOTING WEBSITE</a> and find your fave songs to vote on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Have fun!</p>
