~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

And now: I want to thank everyone who send me a Christmas card!
\nI had no time nor budget to make and send all of my blogfriends a card
\nthis year, but I wish you all happy, happy holidays and a lovely and
\ncreative 2012!<\/p>\n

I stay in the Christmas mood with a photo and my haiku…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

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

aan kersttakken in een vaas<\/p>\n

Fijne feestdagen!<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nTwinkling little lights<\/p>\n

Christmas branches in a vase<\/p>\n

Happy holidays!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Do you love haiku?
\nWell, you’re lucky then ’cause it’s Haiku my heart Friday<\/strong>
\nFor more haiku and photos, visit Recuaerda mi Corazon<\/a>
\nwhere Rebecca hosts this weekly event.<\/p>\n

Remember the little book I bound when I was teaching a workshop in Zeeland?
\n(see this post<\/a>) I started working on the pages in that journal some time ago,
\nand last week I finished this spread.<\/p>\n

Dreaming of a better life<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

(Size: 26 x 17 cm - 10.25 x 6.7 inch)<\/pre>\n
You know I love poetry and besides writing haiku’s, I sometimes fool around
\nwith magazine pages. This type of poems is called Found poetry<\/a><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Size: 26 x 17 cm - 10.25 x 6.7 inch)\r\nThe background is a photo cut out of a National Geographic magazine.\r\nThe text comes from the same magazine. I painted the page with black\r\nIndia ink - leaving the words that I wanted for my poem readable.<\/pre>\n
The black ink left a glossy surface, which gives all kinds of reflections.
\nIt was pretty difficult to photograph the pages – but after a little bit of editing
\nI got an image on which the text is kinda readable.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Ordinary people
\nlose themselves as they age.
\nI walk silent and slowly.
\nI know human diversity.
\nI realize aging and life history and
\nappreciate life in lower levels of stress.<\/em><\/p>\n
All creative work that I will make in the next couple of days and that is not
\ntop 2000 related will be showed next year.
\nI hope to see you on Sunday and every day during the blog party!
\n(I already received some submissions – including a layout from my brother.
\nKeep ‘m coming dear ones!)<\/p>\n
Enjoy the holidays!
\nLet’s get creative and make some art with the music!!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
