M. is working<br \/>\non the cover of FEATURING. The rest of the magazine is finished and I am<br \/>\nextremely satisfied. Wonderful content and &#8216;look.&#8217; Beautiful Spring weather &#8211;<br \/>\ndoors open and laundry outside. 20 degrees (Celsius.) Read in the garden.<br \/>\nPick Nout of the train &#8211; buy new acrylic paint &#8211; Hire and watch Harry Potter<br \/>\nvideo&#8217;s.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>See? Nothing special.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, wait, yes&#8230; the acrylic paint was on sale this week.<br \/>\nThanks <a href=\"http:\/\/elvy-tales.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Elvy<\/a>, for pointing it out to me. I bought 9 new tubes!<br \/>\nThe little smudges show all the colours I posses right now, with<br \/>\nthe names written next to it. I also used two of the fish-images<br \/>\n(&#8216;poezieplaatjes&#8217;) that my dear soulmate-I-call-her-sis-friend<br \/>\nsent to me. She send a whole bunch: fish and shells. I have the<br \/>\nfeeling more of these images will show up on my pages in the near<br \/>\nfuture. The dates are cut out from a magazine, the month\/week<br \/>\ntitles are drawn with a template. That&#8217;s about it.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the art journal page I showed in my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/?p=6006\" target=\"_blank\">Friday post<\/a>?<br \/>\nThe one that I was not satisfied over? After that, I changed my<br \/>\nway of working. I strongly feel I need to take a new path, another<br \/>\napproach to my work&#8230; and I am experimenting with it now. It all<br \/>\nstarted with the next page, which is still a mixture of old &#8216;familiar&#8217;<br \/>\ntechniques but has a special feel. My goal is to explore that &#8216;feel&#8217;<br \/>\nsome more in a way that I am not used to.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a sneak of the &#8216;page that provoked a click.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sneak-artjournal.jpg\"><img wpfc-lazyload-disable=\"true\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6025\" title=\"sneak-artjournal\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sneak-artjournal.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sneak-artjournal.jpg 403w, https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/sneak-artjournal-241x300.jpg 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope to finish the page this week, and then move on to explore<br \/>\nthe idea I already have in mind.<\/p>\n<p>I will keep you posted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; in my life these days?
