Marit's Paper World (blog)

A stormy art journal spread

Marit — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 11:44:50 +0000

It is a bit weird to post this spread from the Chronicles art journal, as it shows week 9 that was full of rain and wind. When I look out my window today the sky is bright, the sun shines and temperature will probably reach the double numbers above zero (Celsius) in the afternoon. That makes a nice Spring day! How different it is from the dark clouds of an imminent storm on this spread. I do hope today’s nice weather will last, it’s makes for a better mood!

The Chronicles of Marit 2015 – Week 9

The text is part of a poem that I found fitting to illustrate week 9:

We are but leaves in the wind
rustling along the hem of old wounds
and everything is uncertain, and how would we know
what only the wind knows, child

~ Adriaan Roland Holst ~

I hope your (and my) week will be filled with sunshine.

P.S. I only now see, as I post this photo, that I stamped ‘January’ instead of ‘February’ on top of the page… oops! I have to try and fix that… a new strip of white paper and then stamp it again maybe?

Can I do it again?

I posted three times last week… and you know what?
I will do it again this week!

I won’t write long blogposts though.
At least not today…

… instead, here are some new art journal pages.

The Chronicles of Marit – week 9

The next page has a lot of journaling, that is hidden under a layer of tape
and gesso. Yes, you guessed right: it’s a page in my “Honest journal”
The tape idea came from a prompt on Soul Journaling with Sarah Whitmire

And another “Honest page”.
This one was also inspired by a prompt on the Soul Journaling blog.
I liked the inchies-idea but I didn’t cut photos from magazines, according to
a ‘list’ that was given with this prompt. Instead, I used photos of my own work,
which I cut in ‘inchies’.

And now, as a proud momma,
I want you all to hop over to Songs in my heART

Look who is featured there?!!! (March 6) Yesssss
(You rock baby!! Love ya!)

(And don’t forget to submit your music-related art to Penny!
We can get this musical blog started, can’t we?!)

See you on Wednesday!!!
