Good morning all… are you looking forward to the Easter weekend? Any fun plans? I have… artsy plans! Yep, I plan on playing. I finally used my new gelli-plate yesterday and a bunch of beautiful background papers came out of that session. I plan on using those for covers of small note books I want to make this weekend. I want to create a stack of those as April 18 is fast approaching…<\/p>\n

What’s on April 18 then?
\nWell, THIS IS
\n\"lentebazaar2015-groot\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday, April 18 there is this Spring Fair and I will be there all day.
\nWith three other artist-friends I share a class room where we show and sell our art.
\nAny change you are in the neighborhood? I would love to see you there.
\nMore info about the Spring Fair is HERE<\/a> on my website.<\/p>\n

So far for the ‘preparation part’ of the title, let’s move on to the ‘completion’ part shall we…<\/p>\n

I completed another page for The Documented Life Project.
\nHere’s the challenge I worked with<\/p>\n

March 21<\/a>
\nMarch Theme:<\/strong> Making Your Mark (Doodles & Mark Making)<\/em>
\nArt Challenge:<\/strong> As a Focal Point
\nJournal Prompt:<\/strong> Coming into Focus<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DLP-12-focus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I saw the word ‘Focus’ I thought about a series of photos my son took from me a few years ago. I wanted to make the photo he took of me and the camera to make my focal point. Here’s the original photo<\/p>\n

\"foto-marit\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I edited the photo with the ‘Cutout’ filter in Photoshop so that the image got more abstract. I then printed it and copied the lines onto my art journal page. I colored the image with crayons. I painted the rest of the page black and journaled around the focal image with a white marker. The text is about the memories I have of me and my dad developing and printing photos in the kitchen, which we turned into a ‘dark room’. Now that photographing turned digital, I guess nobody is shooting pics with an analogous camera and\/or develops photos in a dark room anymore – youngsters may not know even, that in the old days you had to put a photo roll in the camera that had a limited amount of photos (negatives.) I guess the fact that I remember this makes me old too…<\/p>\n

I wish you all a happy Easter, see you next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
