It’s Wednesday and I was in my atelier pretty early this morning – half past 7 – with the radio on, of course, because this week is “Top 2000 voting week” in the Netherlands (see this post) The radio program is fun, the Top 2000 blogparty-Facebook group is fun ánd my desk is fun… colorful and bright images and paper scraps everywhere: I am creating mail art.
Take a look

WOYWW #391

Most deskers have all kinds of Christmas stuff laying on their desk but not me, no. I may create a few “New Year cards” for my most loved ones but I will not bother to create a whole bunch of Christmas cards… the postal costs are just too high to send cards to everyone.

Next, I have an art journal spread to show. Week 45 (three weeks ago) was the week in which a lot happened: my son received his degree (bachelor of science, artificial intelligence) Trump got elected and Leonard Cohen died…

The Chronicles of Marit 2016 – Week 45

The top photo (left) show my son while he was spoken to by a professor of the University. The other photo shows my son with his dad and me… pretty special, ’cause I don’t see his father much (he lives somewhere else.)

A full week, and then I heard that Leonard Cohen had died. So I added an extra page to my journal to create a tribute-page.

I added a (plastic) pocket to the page for keeping the articles from the newspapers.

It’s cold outside and I plan to spendmost of the day in my atelier, creating and visit other ‘deskers’ that participate in woyww. What’s On My Work desk Wednesday is a weekly blog hop hosted by Julia Dunnit.  She has the rules and regulations posted on her blog if you would like to hop along with us. We just take a photo of our work space and blog about it and then link to Julia’s blog.  It’s really easy and lots of fun and you can visit with so many wonderful bloggers. There is a lot of talent and inspiration to be found around the world.

Thanks for your visit and have an inspiring week.
