Are you curious to see if I used my new stamps this week?
Well yessss – I did!!!
But first this:
DUTCH READERS (Nederlandse lezers) –
there’s an announcement at the end of this post!
And this:
Kumi – I don’t know if you read my blog but if you do
you might want to stop reading! What I am about to show
when you click on “continue reading” is coming your way dear!
… to all you other, curious ones – go ahead!
..
..
Here’s the birthday card I made for my friend Kumi.
Isn’t he sweet, my “astonished boy”??!!!
I think he looks so cute in a dress!
..
And here’s the envelope in which this card is sent…
I used both the “eye” stamp and the “mail your art all over the word” stamp!
..
I’m finally catching up on the “Artful Ambling” assignments.
I did show you prompt #16 “Moment” last week and this week
I made a page for prompt #17 with the word “Childhood”.
This prompt was based on photos (no techniques)
(You can click on the image to enlarge for a better view)
A gel medium photo transfer (for the ladies who take the workshop:
this photo was printed on white cardstock.) I journaled the beautiful
poem by Rainer Maria Rilke in the original language (German)
but here’s a translation in English:
Childhood
It would be good to give much thought, before
you try to find words for something so lost,
for those long childhood afternoons you knew
that vanished so completely -and why?
We’re still reminded-: sometimes by a rain,
but we can no longer say what it means;
life was never again so filled with meeting,
with reunion and with passing on
as back then, when nothing happened to us
except what happens to things and creatures:
we lived their world as something human,
and became filled to the brim with figures.
And became as lonely as a shepherd
and as overburdened by vast distances,
and summoned and stirred as from far away,
and slowly, like a long new thread,
introduced into that picture-sequence
where now having to go on bewilders us.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~
..
For all my English speaking friends – this is the end of the post.
I wish you all a nice weekend – keep on whistling 😀
Alle Nederlandstalige lezers: opgelet!
Enige tijd geleden ontving ik een mailtje van Jolette (Origedoe).
Ze was zeer geïnteresseerd in mijn workshop “Let it Loose” en we zijn
overeen gekomen dat ik deze workshop in Januari in het Nederlands
zal aanbieden, mits er voldoende deelnemers zijn (vanaf 7)
De voertaal op het forum zal gedurende de workshop Nederlands zijn.
Op dit moment is Jolette bezig deelnemers te verzamelen –
je kunt hier haar post lezen. Er zijn er al 5 aanmeldingen binnen,
dus de kans is groot dat het doorgaat. Voel je er ook iets voor
om mee te doen? Stuur mij dan even een email!
Zondag update: al 7 deelnemers aangemeld!
..
Je t’embrasse!
