It’s ‘Haiku my Heart Friday’ and last week I tried something different…
\nIt all had to do with the FEATURING store<\/a> that went online.<\/p>\n

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

Not only can people order the magazine, they also can buy a square inch space
\non the back cover of the magazine – and this is where my idea came from.<\/p>\n

The information says that you should send in ‘art inchies’\u00a0 only
\nbecause it is almost impossible to read text on a square inch.
\nYes, I know the info says that, I wrote that myself!<\/p>\n

But…<\/p>\n

… what about haiku?
\nHaiku doesn’t have much words.
\nWould that work?
\nSo I experimented a bit.
\nSee what I did.<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

I wrote my weekly haiku and I put the poem on the photo.<\/p>\n

In English, the last sentence doesn’t have the right amount of syllables.
\nIn Dutch it does.<\/p>\n

Zeemeeuw op de pier
\nop een grauwe, grijze dag
\nsnavel in de wind<\/p>\n

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

OK, nice.
\nNow scale it to a square inch and see what happens.
\nHm.<\/p>\n

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

Not readable, indeed.<\/p>\n

I don’t give up easily, so I tried only text.
\nBlack on white.
\nWould that work?<\/p>\n

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

Hahaaa… yes – on the screen it works.
\nWhat about printing this one in the right size.<\/p>\n

See for yourself (click on the photo to enlarge)<\/p>\n

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

Conclusion: if you put just a few words in black on white,
\nreadable text CAN be printed on a square inch!<\/p>\n

This offers prospects for the ones among you that don’t make art, but
\nwould like to buy an ‘inchie’ and see their haiku in print on the back cover
\nof the magazine. How nice is that?<\/p>\n

\nRecuerda Mi Corazon<\/a><\/p>\n

For more sunshine: come on over to the Netherlands today.
\nI can be find in my small back garden, enjoying this lovely Spring day.
\nI serve coffee, tea and (in case you arrive late) chilled white wine.<\/p>\n

Count your blessings and enjoy the weekend dear ones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
