Hi you all and a special HI to all my fellow woyww-desk-hoppers – it’s been a month since I joined you with a photo of my work desk but here I am again! [For you who don’t know what “woyww”is: it means W<\/strong>hat\u2019s O<\/strong>n Y<\/strong>our W<\/strong>ork desk W<\/strong>ednesday and it is a weekly event hosted by Julia from the UK. Artists from all over the world post a photo of their desk on their blog and leave a link at Julia\u2019s blog. More info about woyww can be found here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

As usual, my desk is clean, organized and ’empty’ – did you expect anything else? I know, I know, it’s pretty boring how neat I am when it comes to my desk. I almost always clean up at the end of the day so I can start ‘clean’ the next day. This morning I was up early (it was still dark outside) and I found my desk like this:<\/p>\n

WOYWW #340<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"woyww#340-leeg-bureau\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, that’s no fun to look at so I staged it for you and lay down some projects and journals I am working on so that there’s something interesting to see.<\/p>\n

\"woyww#340\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I purchased the book “Creating Art At the Speed of Life<\/em>” (Pam Carriker) a few weeks ago and I decided to work with all 30 prompts that are in it (I bound a little journal for that.) I have the feeling this book was a waste of money, ’cause I already know \u00e1nd worked with almost all the techniques that are in it. The theory isn’t new to me either… I created with some prompts but I got bored and I haven’t touched it in two weeks. I think the book is great for beginning art journalers though.<\/p>\n

The other book “The Art of Whimsical Lettering<\/em>” (Joanne Sharpe) was a present from one of my students (thanks Marie!) and I love it! I bound a small journal to practice my own lettering and I work in it from time to time inspired by all the examples Joanne shows in the book.<\/p>\n

You probably recognize the other journals on my desk. I’m catching up with The Documented Life Project <\/em>and hope to finish all the prompts at the beginning of next year. I LOVE my big, altered photo-book Grandes Chaleurs<\/em> and keep on coming back to it and of course there’s my Chronicles<\/em> – only four more weeks\/spreads to go and 2015 is over. (I will have to bind a new Chronicles journal for 2016 soon.)<\/p>\n

Here are two of my latest Chronicles spreads<\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2015 – Week 47<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2015-chronicles-week47\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2015 – Week 48<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2015-chronicles-week48\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to make this blogpost not too long I’m signing off now… hope to visit some (a lot) of your desks today and\/or later this week.<\/p>\n

Oh, and don’t forget about my GIVEAWAY<\/a> – you have until Monday to enter.<\/p>\n
