Pfeeeeeewwwww….<\/p>\n

I wrote 64 pages in the last four weeks.
\nArticles for the next issue of Creatief met Foto’s<\/a>.
\nI made the deadlines.
\nIt’s done for now (until the next issue \ud83d\ude09 )<\/p>\n

I will have freewheelin’ time, YEEEAAAAAYYY!<\/p>\n

Last weekend, I had a foretaste of how that feels like.
\nI made a few things and I prepared a few projects.
\nI want to show you some of what I did.
\n(Not everything – that would be too much photos.
\nYou will see more coming in the next post.)<\/p>\n

Last Sunday was Father’s Day.
\nHere’s the card I made for my dear daddy…<\/p>\n

(Click on the pictures to enlarge for a better view<\/em>)<\/p>\n

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

(Front and back card. 14,8 x 21 cm - 5.8 x 8.3 inch)\r\n<\/pre>\n
The quote on the card is by Euripides and says something like:
\n“No better inheritance then to be a daughter of an excellent father.”<\/em><\/p>\n
And of course I send it to him in a fun envelope!
\n<\/em>(I got the idea to embroider the sides from Terri, <\/em>who shows some
\nlovely Gift Card envelopes on her blog here<\/a>)
\n<\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Front and back envelope. 16 x 22 cm - 6.3 x 8.7 inch)<\/pre>\n
And here’s my weekly page in the ongoing ‘chronicles’ art journal.<\/p>\n
I can’t do without making my weekly page, even when I’m loaded with work
\nand very busy with other things, I just have to have some free time – if only
\na couple of minutes – to make a weekly page.
\nI know other people struggle with keeping a journal like this going.
\nThey somehow suffer from the pressure, the ‘must do’ every week; but to me
\nit’s my escape, it keeps the creativity going, it keeps me sane like my (written)
\ndiaries used to do and I never feel it as a must.<\/p>\n
The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – Week 24<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(23 x 31 cm - 9.1 x 12.2 inch)<\/pre>\n
I often work on different pages at the same time.
\nCut out images that won’t do on one page, are often useful on another page.
\nI also like to keep going when something has to dry, so I switch from one
\nart journal to another all the time. Here’s the two pages (spread) I created
\nlast weekend while working in my Chronicles. See the similarity in colours
\nand atmosphere\/mood?<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(29,7 x 42 cm - 11.7 x 16.9 inch)<\/pre>\n
The text is part of the lyrics ‘Thuis’ (Home) – The Scene<\/p>\n\n\n\n
achter me vele mooie uren<\/em><\/p>\n
 <\/em>achter me veel van wat ik wil<\/em><\/p>\n
achter me kan ik niets meer sturen<\/em><\/p>\n
en voor me, voor me is het stil<\/em><\/td>\n
<\/td>\nbehind me, many beautiful hours<\/em> <\/em><\/p>\n
behind me, a lot of what I want<\/em><\/p>\n
behind me, I can’t steer anything<\/em><\/p>\n
and before me, before me lies silence<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
(I hope my poor translation does this text justice…)<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to an exciting and special moment coming this week!
\nI’ll tell you about it on Friday.
\nI hope your week will be beautiful too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
