Hello Friday, hello sweet ones!
\nHow was your week?
\nI have been in a creative flow the last couple of days, and man it feels good!
\nAt some point, I was working on 5 pieces at once… not that I can show you all
\nfive pages – some aren’t finished yet – but I do have some things to show.<\/p>\n

I worked on several art journal pages and I even painted! I hadn’t done that in
\na long time. It felt odd. I always have to get rid of the comments of my former
\nteachers in my head. I studied at art school in the eighties, and some teachers
\nstill ‘haunt me’… (I’ll never forget this comment: ‘The only thing good about
\nyour work is the little containers that you mix your paint in’)<\/p>\n

I guess me art journaling has to do a lot with ‘prove I can be creative after all’
\nand trying to find back the joy that I had as a little child. (I’m happy to say that
\nI’m almost there… I DID find that pleasure and happiness back! But I put the
\n‘painting’ part aside and now it’s time to tackle that last hurdle!)<\/p>\n

I started carefully and small… I sketched the jar that hold my brushes.
\nI was very satisfied with the result! I used Indian Ink and it turned out into a
\nnice, little watercolour sketch! While working on it, a haiku came to mind so
\nI added that too.<\/p>\n

Here it is for Haiku my Heart Friday<\/a> this week: Brushes<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did the title of this blogpost got you singing?
\nIf so – you must be my age or older….
\nIf you are young and it got you singing:
\nyou must be a real fan of Pink Floyd!<\/p>\n
Yep, this is the title of a Pink Floyd song.
\nI used it to make a page in my ‘Album Cover Journal<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n
Hey you<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(19,5 x 31 cm - 7.7 x 12.2 inch)\r\n<\/pre>\n
I had not worked in this journal since early July and because it has a lot
\nof (big!) pages to  fill, I guess this album-journal will turn into a multi-year
\nproject – or  maybe not, ’cause I started working on a third page already!<\/p>\n
I’ll end this post with an index card I made just for fun.
\nSomething silly and nice to do when all the other pages have to dry!<\/p>\n

(Index card: 8 x 13,2 cm - 3.1 x 5.2 x inch)<\/pre>\n
I have plans to finish some more pages this weekend \u00e1nd I have to ‘clean out’
\nthe workshop community-site in order to make it neat for the new students
\nthat will come in next week. Two online art journal workshops will start then!
\nThe registration for ‘A Creative Art Journey<\/strong>‘ and ‘Let it Loose<\/strong>‘ is still
\nopen. You’re very welcome to join! Find all the information by clicking the
\nbadges in the right side menu.<\/p>\n
I wish you all a lovely weekend and sunshiny days!
\nSee you next week dear ones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
