OH MAN… the path to FEATURING issue #4 was not a smooth one!
We faced illness, technical and personal difficulties and set-backs –
but the team helped each other out and we have achieved to finish
the fourth issue with success. So now… drumroll please….
I am happy to announce that issue #4
of FEATURING is COMING SOON!
And this issue is indeed as inspirational, versatile and artsy as the former ones, if not more.
But hey, I am the editor-in-chief and the magazine is my baby so why should you believe me?
You better go and see for yourself.
Read the brief summary of the content
Flip through some of the pages in the preview
It will take a while for the actual paper magazine to get back from the printing office, but you may want to pre-order the magazine because when you do that, you have the chance to win a Mixed Media Paper Craft Kit from Gauche Alchemy!!
Yes, you heard it right: FEATURING cooperated with GAUCHE ALCHEMY for A GIVE AWAY.
We will give away 5 ACME Mixed Media Paper Craft kits to readers who pre-order issue #4 before June 23. The fourth issue of the magazine will be released soon after.
Now that is an extra reason to want to order the magazine, isn’t it? Why not go ahead then. PRE ORDER/BUY your copy now to have your name in the hat for our give away and to make sure the fourth issue of FEATURING will come your way as soon as it is released.
Done? YAY! Thanks!
On to the haiku and the rest of the post then.

As always, I submit my haiku to Haiku my Heart Friday
This Summer, I am participating in Tammy Garcia’s Index-Card-A-Day 2013
Tammy asked me to co-operate and I contributed a tutorial – which you can find here – and translated all the prompts and themes for her. Artists from different countries helped with translating, so besides the English texts, you can find the ICAD prompts in Dutch, French, Italian and Swedish now! Here are the prompts for week #1 and here’s week #2
The themes and prompts Tammy gives are all optional but I decided to try and work with the given challenges… the overall theme for week #1 was ‘Color’ or ‘Rainbow colors’.
So far, I made (only) three index cards but I hope to catch up…
ICAD prompt #1 – Zebra
ICAD prompt #2 – Candyland
ICAD prompt #3 – “Faux Stitches”
Working on these cards is a good practice for me to ‘loosen up and let go’ – something I always tell my students in the workshops to do but have to be reminded of myself from time to time…
This was quite a long blogpost… did you read all the way and are you still with me?
WOW, then you’re the best!
The sun is shining overhere (finally Summer arrived this week!) and I am going to grab me a stack of index cards, some colored pens, a cool drink and a chair…. and spend the afternoon in the garden. I hope to visit the haiku circle later.
I wish you all sunshine and joy this weekend.
Go grab an index card and color a rainbow!
Yay for issue #4!!!! And love love love the cards!! GORGEOUS colors!!!!
Congratulations on issue #4 Marit! I already pre-ordered – can’t wait to see it! Your haiku’s always amaze me; and your Index Cards – WOW! Beautiful bursts of color!
Wat een super-idee die index challenge (en jouw uitwerkingen zijn natuurlijk weer TOP!)
Denk dat ik maar eens naar de kantoorboekhandel ga voor wat kaartjes. Zoals je al aangaf in je blogpost… van tijd tot tijd is het weer eens goed “to let it loose” 🙂
Prachtige cover van je magazine!
congratulations on Featuring Four! Bravo to you and your staff.
glad too that the warmth of summer has finally arrived to welcome you and your creative musings back into the garden.
your haiku is heartbreakingly beautiful. congratulations on your new issue!
Great haiku as always. And good luck with the mag. Ah, those difficulties – reminds me of when i published and edited a small press mag back in the 90s.
Hi Marit…
That was a long post,
but I enjoyed it all!
I always love your art
and
“faux stitches” is the coolest of them all!
♥♥
Happy Weekend ! I am glad you have summer there !
I am preparing for an art workshop next week with Elizabeth Bunsen. Lots of fun packing to do.
Enjoy those little cards and the instant gratification !
Hugs !
Your haiku hits home for those who have survived cancer. Congrats on your mag!
You tooted your horn loud enough to not only pre order issue #4, but also get issue #3, which I don’t have. There is one project I want to do in one of the earlier issues, but I just haven’t had time nor motivation to get to it yet. There is a workshop in my future, so, I’ll try to keep any inspiration I have going as I haven’t felt like doing much the past couple of months.
I still haven’t done the book haiku, but I thoroughly enjoy seeing yours every time I come here to visit. By the way, today’s haiku is step for step with the way I’ve been for a while. Feeling much better now.
Peace
Wonderful. Always inspiration here Marit.
Checking your magazine Bravo to you.
Your haiku resonated with me! Well done! And I love your zebra too!Haiku My Heart Sunny
