On Fridays we gather
\nas diverse as spring flowers
\nalways reaching towards the light.
\nStripping off the superfluous
\nto embrace the barest essence of expression.
\nWe visit each other with a vengeance
\nleave comments with a passion
\nand lie in wait for the next Friday
\nto bloom all over again.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rebecca hosts Haiku my Heart<\/a> Friday and when I discovered this circle
\nof Haiku-lovers and joined in with a haiku every week, the participants
\nembraced me with all their kindness and love.<\/p>\n

Every week, I look forward to Friday
\nThank you Rebecca!<\/p>\n

Boulevard – Vlissingen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Het water weet nog<\/p>\n

hoe het er uitzag toen men<\/p>\n

bescheiden woonde<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nBoulevard – Vlissingen<\/strong><\/p>\n

The water still knows<\/p>\n

what the town scape once looked like<\/p>\n

when men lived humble<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I have more art to share…<\/p>\n

..<\/p>\n

I usually show my weekly art journal on my blog earlier in the week, but
\nlast week was overly busy and stressful and I didn’t finish the pages until
\nWednesday – here it is:<\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 16<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm \u2013 9.65 x 14.86 inch)<\/pre>\n
There was so much going on in Week 16 – with FEATURING magazine<\/a>
\nbeing printed and published and the weekend that I spend with my mom
\nat a poetry festival – that I needed more space to document it all.<\/p>\n
I made a pocket of an transparent document protector and taped it
\nin between pages as an extra. You can see it on the right. It holds notes
\nthat we asked our neighbours to make. We gave both neighbours a copy
\nof FEATURING and asked them to give feedback on the magazine.
\nThe ladies ‘did their homework’ and I was very happy with their comments
\nand praise!<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The pocket also holds a small book (not visible on the photo) with poems
\nand names of poets that speeched at the festival. The diner on Saturday night
\nwas very nice – we sat with all children’s poets on a big table. I know most of
\nthem from former festivals and it was pleasant to meet them again and chat
\nwith each other. One of the poets had his text printed on paper place-mats
\nwhich the diner was served on, and he signed it for all the other poets.
\nI folded mine so that it would fit in the pocket. For the Dutchies: the website
\nand blog of this writer\/poet are worth a visit: Ted van Lieshout<\/a><\/p>\n
Some of you remember the book with templates that my friend Lena send
\nme (see former post<\/a>.) I just couldn’t resist playing with one of the templates.
\nIt was quite difficult to choose\u00a0 (they are all gorgeous!) but when I came
\nacross the the image of a record player I choose to use that with a left over
\n‘Eels’ affiche\/photo transfer and made a page in my ‘Album Cover Journal.’<\/p>\n
Album Cover Journal – Eels<\/strong><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
(Size: approximately 30 x 27 cm \u2013 12 x 10.5 inch)<\/pre>\n
I think it’s one happy and bright page and it makes me wanna put on
\nthat record and dance!<\/p>\n
I have all reasons to dance: I got emails from the UK and the USA that
\nFEATURING magazine arrived at the customers homes. My baby has
\nstepped into the wide world and I hope he’s making it there.<\/p>\n
I wish you all a happy weekend.
\nWhatever colour you may like – orange… red… purple… pink –
\nmake sure to colour your days bright and enjoy life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
