Friday haiku & art journal pages

On this Friday I have not only a haiku but also a couple of art journal spreads to show you.

In March 2013 I bound an art journal in which I included a text on the first page that said: “discover the Zeeland soul” (see this blog post) So I called the book my “Zeeuwse Ziel” (Soul from Zeeland) journal and worked in it every now and then. When the journal was filled, I bound a second journal and… that one is now filled with artspreads too.
Here’s the last spread in Zeeuwse Ziel II

However, I am far from finished with journaling about my “Zeeland soul” so last month I bound a third book. Here’s the cover of the new journal, showing a photo of a typical Zeeland landscape (sand and sea)

Zeeuwse Ziel III

This is the first page (on the left you see the inside of the cover with the endpaper)

Chronicles 2024 – Week 39

A couple of weeks ago my beloved and I bought a car! Now I have to tell you that using public transport in the Zeeland region is a complete disaster, especially if you have to go somewhere outside of town. Since I visit my parents (in a small, nearby village) every week, I can say that I am experienced in going around by bus which is very, VERY frustrating! It even was on the national news the other day: an item about how bad public transport is in the countryside. I am so happy with the freedom that owning a car brings us that I created a spread all about the car.

Hope you enjoyed seeing what I created over the past weeks,
thanks for stopping by my blog,
have a lovely weekend!

There’s only one thing on our minds these days… I sit at home and don’t have much to say. Still, I wrote a haiku

Friday haiku

Wakker geworden.
De zon zien opkomen in
een stille wereld.

Woke up this morning
and saw the sun rise. It shone
on a silent world.

The photo was taken by my friend Lena Schreijenberg

I submit this haiku to Recuerda Mi Corazon where our lovely hostess Rebecca brings us all together to share a haiku on Friday: Haiku my Heart

and I finished this art journal spread.

“The world came to a stop. Vacant land is holding its breath, plows through thoughts and waits for better times.”

Stay safe!
