#10 Quirky – Dutch – Summer \/
\nGrillig – Hollands – Zomer<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Autumn is almost in the air… I can sense it already. There’s not that typical Autumn smell in the air yet, but it won’t be long now. Summer is winding downs, people return from their holidays and children get back to school – it’s time to close these season-posting-series! We’re at #10 so this is the last post in the ‘Quirky Dutch Summer 2012’ series. There will be one extra ‘Quirky post’ next week – sort of an ‘appendix’ – in which I will show all the mail art that I received from, and send to, participants who played with QDS #2<\/a> but after that I will resume my ‘regular Tuesday blogging’ on August 28.<\/p>\n

Herfst staat voor de deur… het nieuwe seizoen hangt al een beetje in de lucht. Van die typische herfstgeur is nog niets te bespeuren, maar dat zal nu niet lang meer duren. Zomer loopt echt op z’n eind – mensen komen terug van vakantie, kinderen in het zuiden van Nederland gaan alweer naar school – en het is tijd om ook de Quirky Dutch Summer 2012 serie te beeindigen. We zijn dan ook bij post #10 aangekomen. Volgende week zal er nog \u00e9\u00e9n extra ‘Quirky post’ volgen, als een soort aanhangsel, waarin ik alle mail art laat zien die ik naar aanleiding van QDS #2<\/a> ontving \u00e9n verzond, en daarna zal ik mijn normale ‘dinsdag blogging’ hervatten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sooo… what’s this last Quirky post about?
\nWell – it’s quite simple. Be inspired one more time by Quirky Dutch Summer
\n– and I mean it to the letter this time! Take the word quirky<\/em>, or Dutch<\/em>, or Summer<\/em> – or combine them – do whatever you like with it but use the word(s) as your jumpstart to create something.<\/p>\n

Maar goed… we hebben nog \u00e9\u00e9n Quirky post te gaan dus wat staat er vandaag op het programma?<\/span> Nou simpel: laat je inspireren door Quirky Dutch Summer – en dat bedoel ik deze keer letterlijk! Neem \u00e9\u00e9n van de woorden (of gecombineerd) als uitgangspunt voor je werk. Laat je inspireren door het woord Grillig\/wispelturig<\/em>, of Hollands<\/em> of Zomer<\/em>. Je kunt er alle kanten mee uit!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let it Loose<\/strong> (27.50 Euro)<\/em>
\nSeptember 17 – October 25; 2012<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/em>This workshop will loosen you up and take you a step further in creating your own, unique art journal pages. You\u2019ll learn some basic writing techniques to improve your journaling and you will get tips and techniques to use your own handwriting (You dislike your own handwriting? You might be surprised what you can do with it!) Furthermore, you will learn art techniques like working with collages, paint, colours, gesso and gel medium.<\/p>\n

“I had such a wonderful time with this workshop. I learned so much. Marit is a wonderful teacher, and if she is offering this workshop again, I highly recommend it!!” ~ Danielle<\/em><\/p>\n

“Let it Loose is a super cool art journal class. I wish I’d had teachers like Marit in school! If you have the chance to take a class with her, do it! You won’t regret it.” ~ Anne<\/em><\/p>\n

I highly recommend it – whether you have never tried art journaling, or you’ve been doing it for awhile. The lessons are fun and easy to follow, open enough for interpreting in your own style, and the atmosphere is super supportive!” ~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n

Deze workshop leert je te ontspannen, los te laten, plezier te hebben en een stap verder te zetten in het maken van je eigen, unieke art journal pagina’s. Je leert een aantal basistechnieken die je schrijfstijl op gang zullen helpen komen en je krijgt tips en technieken om creatief gebruik te maken van je eigen handschrift. (Je houdt niet van je eigen handschrift? Je zult nog verbaasd staan als je ziet wat voor leuks ook jij er mee kunt doen!) Bovendien komen in de lessen diverse technieken aan bod waarbij je aan de slag gaat met collages, verf, kleuren, gesso en gel medium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIk heb zo genoten van deze workshop. Ik kan Let it Loose zonder aarzeling aanraden<\/em><\/span> aan iedereen die de behoefte voelt om alles zo nu en dan eens los te laten!\u201d ~ Peggy<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDeze workshop is zo leuk! Als je meer wilt leren over art journaling meld je dan aan,<\/em><\/span> het is zo\u2019n geweldige klas!\u201d ~ Jeanet<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
