The past days were busy, busy, busy, as the articles for the second issue
\nof FEATURING<\/a> are getting designed. Because of the tropical temperatures
\nin the Netherlands at the beginning of the week, we had to shut down the
\ncomputers for two or three days. That meant a delay in the progress of the
\nmagazine and we’re working our asses off to get everything done now.
\nThere’s a lot of work involved, not only for the designer but for me also.
\nDeliberating, editing and criticizing & judging the look of the pages, to
\nname some activities. It is all worth it though, as readers are enthusiastic
\nabout the magazine. (See the review<\/a> Quinn McDonald wrote – yep, Quinn!
\nAuthor of the book\u00a0Raw Art Jounaling<\/a><\/em> – which, by the way, I highly
\nrecommend, especially if you are a beginner at art journaling – but where
\nwas I? Oh, yes, Quinn. She bought the magazine without my knowledge and
\nI was happily surprised to find out that she wrote a review on her blog.)<\/p>\n

Bottom line: busy I am.
\nBut today is Friday… and this morning, I took some time off\u00a0 to find
\na photo and write a haiku and a blogpost. I also have an art journal page
\nthat I made last Summer but have not showed yet. And of course there is
\nthe weekly ‘Chronicles’ spread. How could I not make a chronicles spread?
\nIt is a ‘quick and easy’ page this time due to lack of time, but it’s there.
\nEnjoy!<\/p>\n

Haiku my Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niets houdt ‘m tegen.<\/p>\n

Vrijpostig klimt de klimop<\/p>\n

de slaapkamer in.<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nThere’s no stopping him.<\/p>\n

leaf after leaf, the ivy<\/p>\n

penetrates the rooms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

‘Haiku my Heart Friday’ is hosted by the wonderful Rebecca.
\nVisit her blog to find a list of the other participants: Recuerda Mi Corazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Next page in my big art journal (Size: 25 x 35 cm – 9.8 x 13.8 inch) is
\nwhat I call an ‘easy page’. I name it that because pages like this don’t
\nrequire much ‘heavy thoughts’.
\nIt’s ‘fun play with colours’ –
\nnothing more but certainly
\nnothing less.
\nNo thinking involved.
\nRelaxed.
\nKnow what I mean?<\/p>\n

Hands<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

I used a background paper which I made last Summer in my ‘outdoor
\nsession’ which I showed photos from here<\/a>.
\nI added extra paint (applied through a template), a cut out image from
\na magazine, scraps of paper and washi tape for the border and lettering
\nwith gesso and sharpies.<\/p>\n

… and on to the Chronicles.<\/p>\n

The Chronicles of Marit 2012 – Week 33<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

(Size: 24,5 x 49 cm \u2013 9.65 x 14.86 inch)<\/p>\n

I told you… a ‘quick and easy’ spread, but a fun one on which I jotted down
\nsome phrases that capture that week – and sorry, you English readers cannot
\nread it. It’s Dutch and I don’t have the time left to translate it all for you, but
\nthere’s nothing important there so you don’t miss ‘exiting things’ – things like
\nhow a bird pooped on my bare foot when I sat outside \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

… and that’s all for today.
\nI hear work screaming… I have to go and get it done.
\nEnjoy your weekend dear ones!
\nWhether it is for recreation or work, enjoy what you do.<\/p>\n
