You must have noticed by now that I’m not around on the Internet as much
\nas I used to be. I just don’t have the time for it. I am way busy with writing
\narticles for CmF<\/a>, handling things for FEATURING<\/a> (btw: did you know there
\nis a badge available on the site? Just copy the code and put it on your blog!)
\nteaching two online art journal workshops and preparing for the art journal
\nweekend in November.<\/p>\n

Even housekeeping tasks has been put on a back burner let alone the ‘blog
\nvisit round’ I used to make every week. I do follow your blogs ‘from a distance’
\nthough… I ‘scan’ your new posts, but I don’t take time to comment.
\nYou might say I’m a lurker these last weeks – forgive me!<\/p>\n

In the (rare) spare hours, I rather get my art journal out and make a page
\nthan surf the Internet. That’s why I can show you these pages today…<\/p>\n

First page is for the new prompt at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal<\/a><\/p>\n

THE PROMPT<\/strong>: Scars<\/p>\n

THE SONG<\/strong>: Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri
\n
\nPRODUCT\/TECHNIQUE<\/strong>: rips and tearing<\/p>\n

When you follow my blog, you already know the story: On August 26th
\nmy man and son went to a blues concert. On their way home my beloved
\nstumbled and fell in an unfortunate way… with his head right on the edge
\nof the sidewalk (the English dictionary calls it \u2018curb’?) When my son saw
\nall the blood coming from his head, he called the ambulance right away
\n(and phoned me right after that) I took a cab to the hospital and my son
\nand I sat there waiting until 2 am… In that time, they scanned my beloved’s
\nbrain to see how bad the damage was (nothing wrong with that, pfew!) and
\nstitched him up with approximately 20 stitches\u2026<\/p>\n

In the days that followed, his face and eyes turned from blue to purple
\nto black to green to yellow and I made photo’s of the process.
\nIt was weeks ago, and the only thing left is a big scar!<\/p>\n

When I saw this prompt, I just HAD to use one of the photos!<\/p>\n
