Last week was busy. Very busy.
\nI wrote articles (one article a day) for Creatief met Foto’s<\/a> trying to make
\nthe deadlines and my online Creative Summer Camp<\/a> opened the doors.
\n(The ‘campground’ got immediately flooded by a group of happy campers!
\nYou can still join, click the link and come on in! It’s fun!)<\/p>\n

Saturday I\u00a0 went to the university with my son.
\nI followed three lectures in ‘artificial intelligence’ (that’s what my son studies).
\nThis was part of a parents day. It was nice to be back in the classroom – but I
\nwas sooooo tired afterwards! My brain is more specialized in art journaling!<\/p>\n

With all of this going on, my time to journal was very limited…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

On Sunday evening, my ‘chronicles’ page had a orange background
\n(spray ink with salt technique) but nothing more.<\/p>\n

The hours went, the Monday went, and I decided to just call it a week.
\nI stenciled the week title, the dates and wrote one sentence.
\nIt says something like “not this week then…”<\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – week 22<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

31 x 23 cm - 12.2 x 9.1 inch. Adirondack color wash (Ranger)\r\nspray ink 'butterscotch' - salt - acrylic paint - black marker<\/pre>\n
I wasn’t satisfied with that one sentence though… I thought it would
\nmake me wonder later, when I flip through this journal, ‘what the heck
\nwas going on this week?’ So I add some journaling. Just to explain
\nto my ‘older self’ that I had a busy week. All in all, I love this page!<\/p>\n
Where you wondering about the title for this blogpost?
\nHere’s the ‘old secret’….<\/p>\n
Last year, in December to be precisely, I made a page to submit for
\nthe book Seth from the Altered Page<\/a> was working on.
\nSome of you may remember the page I submitted? (It wasn’t chosen
\nfor the book, and I published the work here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
Before I made the page that I submitted, I worked on another one.
\nI didn’t like it then, I found it not good enough to send to Seth, so
\nI put it away. Last week, flipping through my album, I came across
\nthat page again and guess what? I like it now!<\/p>\n
Do you ever have this? You create something and you don’t like it,
\nbut when you look back at it later, it suddenly appeals to you?<\/p>\n
Back in November, Seth asked for submissions of new artwork to be
\ncreated specifically in response to these three prompts.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1.  Share a secret as expressed in an artwork.<\/li>\n
  2. Create an artwork that expresses your biggest fear.<\/li>\n
  3. Create an artwork that reflects the innermost part of you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The one I submitted was made in response to prompt 3 (innermost)
    \nThe one I made before that, is about secrets.<\/p>\n
    Let’s take a look first, before I explain the ‘secret’ part…<\/p>\n
    Secrets<\/strong><\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
    30.5 x 30.5 cm - 12 x 12 inch. printed photos cut in strips and woven\r\n- white cardstock - acrylic paint - stamp - versamark - black embossing\r\npowder - machine stitching with red thread.\r\n<\/pre>\n
    What’s with the secrets then, you ask.
    \nWell, I took photos of the most ‘secret’ pages in my old diaries.
    \nI cut the photos in strips and wove them, so it’s not readable anymore…
    \n(Ha, I bet for a moment you thought I would reveal my secrets online\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n
    I still think it’s not the best work I ever made (but what is? I can’t tell,
    \ncan you?) but it’s worth showing to you. What do you think of this lay-out?<\/p>\n
    It’s Tuesday evening. Again another day of writing and typing lays behind me.
    \nTwo more weeks to go… I will try to visit all of your blogs in between. See ya!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
