Goodmorning lovelies, I’m here on a Wednesday to show you my workdesk (and what’s on it!) and some of my art pieces. I took this week off of work and am enjoying my free time. What do I do with that extra time off, you might think… that’s not a hard question: play in my atelier of course (and go out with an old friend, visit my pa & ma, watch cycling races and crime dvd’s with my beloved, go to the hairdresser *purple hair, purple hai-air*, take a little walk into town – you know, the things you do when you have time and are feeling fine!)<\/p>\n

One of my colleagues will certainly benefit from the extra time I have because I made her a beautiful card: it’s her birthday this week and she moved into a new home last month. I took the photo of my desk yesterday when I was in the middle of creating that card.<\/p>\n

WOYWW #723<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

… and here’s the end result.<\/p>\n

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

And of course I still keep my weekly Chronicles <\/em>art journaling going. I started in 2010 with creating a weekly spread so this is the fourteenth (!) journal I’m filling… btw: all my journals can be viewed on my website<\/a> – and here’s the latest spreads<\/p>\n

Chronicles: Week 12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chronicles: Week 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

That lady standing on one leg might need some explanation because she’s not just there to look beautiful: some time ago, after a walk on the beach and over the dunes, I forced my hip. After weeks of struggling with pain in my groin and knee, I went to the doctor and he send me to the physiotherapist. The physiotherapist gave me tips and exercises and he said that the problem should be resolved within a few weeks. One of those exercises is, that I have to alternately balance on one leg. I’m now wobbling on one leg a few times a day – and no, I don’t look as elegant as that woman on my spread. I’m more like an old stork (or maybe even less elegant than a stork) but hey, it works because the pain is almost gone!<\/p>\n

Sketchbook revival 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mid-March I signed up for the free Sketchbook Revival<\/a> workshop… but I already knew I wouldn’t have time to watch all the free video-tutorials and\/or work with all the lessons (the workshop closes on April 20th) so I picked out my preferences to watch and even created some pages. Last week, I watched a video with Toni Burt which tutorial I liked very much. When the weather gets better I’d like to go outside and draw more, so this was a start to work with the techniques she showed (I used a photo of our apartment complex as a reference.) It’s a bit overdone but I still like the outcome.<\/p>\n

It’s been two months since I joined WOYWW, I hope you liked seeing me and my workdesk again and I plan on visiting ‘the workdesk gang’ in the following days. Enjoy your day and ‘see ya!’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
