Waahaaaaa!!!

Yeeeeehaaaaaaaaa!!!

I’m sorry, I’m  sorry if you’re (temporarily) deaf now, but I just had to yell!!
IT somehow has to come out – and because I can’t say anything about IT (yet)
I thought I’d shout!

You don’t have to wait long before I share IT with you though –
I will tell you next week.

Huh? Next week you say? You aren’t going to write blogposts then, are you?
Next week is all about the top 2000 – or am I wrong?

No, you’re not wrong, but IT has something to do with the top 2000.
Sort of. Uhm. Yes.

I better keep my big mouth shut now before I accidentally spill something
and spoil the fun…

Let’s move on to art journaling then, shall we?

While uploading my Chronicles page, I noticed that I was missing
the page of the week before… I told you I was very busy with the
magazine but WOWZAH – I even forgot to photograph and show you
the Chronicles page of week 49!

So here it is sweeties: the missing page

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 49

(Size: 23 x 31 cm - 9.1 x 12.2 inch)

Week 49 was the week I began ‘tweeting’ – remember?
The little birdie testifies of this milestone! The old man was cut out
of a postcard my dad send to me from France one Summer.
Don’t you just love that naughty look in his eyes?

Oh, and I noticed a lot of you find it nice when I tell how I ‘build’ my pages,
so here’s the rest:
Background is acrylic paint (light-blue).
For the week & date I used Tim Holtz alphabet masks and
sprayed with purple ink (Adirondack color wash).
I drew the lines with Copic markers.
The journaling was done with a black Sharpie, as are all the extra little dots
(around the image, at the top etc.)

The Chronicles of Marit – Week 50

(Size: 23 x 31 cm - 9.1 x 12.2 inch)

I started week 50 with paint dots on the pages, but I didn’t like it at all – so I
glued kraft paper over it (you can still see the big paint dots shining through,
but that doesn’t bother anymore). I put images random on the page, and drew
squares using the shapes of the photos. The journaling is done with a brown
fineliner (felt-tipped pen) and the white is done with a Sharpie.

Only 5 days to go before the top 2000 starts!

For the ones who like to play along and send photos of their artwork:
I have an email address especially for emailing your
top 2000 submissions!
(I’m afraid I might become nuts if it all went in my regular inbox…
I can hardly keep my emails organized already!)
Anyway, you can email your stuff by clicking on the link that is at
the top of my side menu – just above the blinkie – and this is the address:
