\nAnother prompt at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal<\/a>!<\/p>\n
As a guest host at AYITLOAAJ, I make a page with each prompt to
\ninspire you and try to seduce you to play along!
\nEach prompt has three parts and it’s up to you how (and if) you use it.
\nUse the idea as a jumping off point, use the song lyrics and\/or the technique
\n–\u00a0 or not. Just let the prompt inspire you to make something!<\/p>\n
THE PROMPT<\/strong>: Dive in With this prompt, the overall title got to me. As you can see, I didn’t Journaling (in Dutch):<\/strong> On to the hectic weekend then…<\/p>\n When you look at my weekly art journal page, you might get a clue where The Chronicles of Marit 2011 – Week 34<\/strong><\/p>\n My beloved fell in a very unfortunate way – with his head right on Anyway – to make a long story short – there was an ambulance involved, He’s doing OK now (both his eyes turned from blue to purple to black to I have one last thing for the Dutchies before I go – *<\/span> I’ve been informed it was a CT scan… sorry ’bout the mistake<\/p>\n En dan even over in het Nederlands: It’s Tuesday evening, and I’m exhausted! Last weekend was very hectic and took a lot of my energy (I come to that later) and on top of that, I decided to clean the kitchen cabinets today.

\nTHE SONG<\/strong>: Edge of Glory – Lady GaGa
\nPRODUCT\/TECHNIQUE<\/strong>: Shape layering<\/p>\n
\nuse the song lyrics and the technique. Marilyn Monroe on a diving board
\ngot me all philosophic! So I journaled about how it feels when you are
\nyoung \u00e1nd how the feeling changes when you grow older.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/16-dive-in.jpg\" "\\"16-dive-in\\"")

\n“It’s obviously quite a good feeling, to be young and beautiful. You can sit
\nhigh on a diving board, strike a graceful pose. You get all the attention without
\ndoing more then just that. No one can see your uncertainty – you are too high
\nfor that. But the moment passes. You get older you know. One day, you will
\nhave to jump. Into life. Into the deep. And yes, your hair gets wet then.
\nAnd everyone can see your protruding ears, but OH, does it feel good!”<\/span><\/p>\n
\nthe ‘hectic’ came from… yep, that’s my beloved up there looking like one
\nof those zombies from Michael Jacksons’ clip ‘Thriller’ (if you’re old enough
\nto remember that one…!)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/week34.jpg\" "\\"week34\\"")

\nthe edge of the sidewalk (in Dutch: ‘stoeprand’ – the English dictionary
\ncalls it ‘curb’… I never heard of this word but I presume you know it?!)<\/p>\n
\na lot of blood, hours of waiting, a MRI*<\/span> scan and approximately 20 stitches…<\/p>\n
\ngreen to yellow in just three days!) but you will not be surprised when I tell
\nyou that this accident scared the sh*t out of me!<\/p>\n
\nso to all my foreign friends I say goodnight and see you soon!
\nTake care, don’t fall on the curb!<\/p>\n
\nSind juli is er een Nederlandstalig forum in de lucht wat geheel gewijd is aan
\nart journaling en mixed media. De meeste art journalers zitten links en
\nrechts natuurlijk al op Engelse sites en forums, maar ik kan je vertellen dat het
\neen verademing is om ook eens ‘in je moers taal’ over deze creatieve tak
\nte kunnen ‘kleppen’. Het forum is opgericht door Anneke Wijers<\/a> en er zijn al
\nheel wat dames actief op het forum. Ben je ge\u00efnteresseerd: ga dan vooral
\neen kijkje nemen bij Art Journaling en Mixed Media<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
