I searched a house and when I pulled back a curtain,<br \/>\nI found her in the book case that was behind it &#8211; bonded and scared.<br \/>\nThis image stayed with me for almost three days &#8211; until I sketched it<br \/>\nin my art journal. An art journal is such a nice thing to\u00a0 get rid of<br \/>\nfeelings or, like here, scary images. Bring them out in the open (that<br \/>\nis: on to the page) and your mind is free again!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The background is coloured with Caran d&#8217;Ache watersoluble crayons,<br \/>\nwater and a brush&#8230; I love those crayons and the effect they give!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut out images: eyes, bird, hearts, collaged figure with fish-head, legs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Photo of Autumn landscape &#8211; transferred with mod podge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Left over paper I experimented on with spray ink (bottom left page)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut out text: on the paper scrap &#8211; bottom left page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Washi tape (top and bottom)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Sticker (accolade) from my stash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Stamps: corner stamp, lace stamp and clock (I received the latter,<br \/>\nalong with more stamps and a Tim Holtz flourish mask in a package<br \/>\nfrom <a href=\"art journaling, spread, chronicles, Marit, Marit Barentsen, art journal\" target=\"_blank\">Glenda<\/a>. Thank you so much dear!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Last but not least: writing and doodling with all kinds of pens\/markers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m already looking forward to the next spread &#8211; I think I will work in a<br \/>\nsimilar way as I created this one &#8211; I had so much fun with it!
