I’m glad you all liked our special “sneak peek trailer” for the upcoming
workshop! However, I did notice that some questions arose about the
“Mixed Emotions” workshop.
Yep, this workshop is about exploring emotions, but
IT IS NOT THERAPY!
After all, an art journal workshops should be fun, and ours will be!
We don’t expect you to poor out your heart and soul on the pages,
we don’t expect you to share your deepest feelings with us.
If you want to do that, that’s OK ofcourse, but we are prepared to
the fact that you want to keep your deepest feelings and emotions
to yourself.
There’s no need to be scared that you will be forced to open up.
Each lesson comes with questions and quotes that will help you
to explore the highlighted emotion in all directions. You can go
as private – or not – as you wish. The techniques that come with
each lesson will be fun to use in every way.
OK.
Now that’s cleared up I hope!
If there are any questions left, shoot me en email and I’ll be
happy to answer them!
On to some creativeness then…

My weekly art journal!
Week 40
(Remember you can click on the image to enlarge for a better view)
See that image of a Japanese warrior?
I got a small, vintage book with Japanese images from my mom a while ago.
My stuff keeps piling up and I totally forgot about this book. I re-discovered
it last week – while searching for something else – aahh, you scrapbookers
sure know that feeling! The round chipboard thingies (what are they called?)
were send by Amy (months ago! But still, thank you Amy!) and I found
the “weird monster” on the Internet. I think it was supposed to look like
a werewolf but I find it quite cute actually!

Last week, Karen surprised me with this award! I’m honoured!
From one readaholic to another, so to speak – although I recently
read a lot less than I would like to…
Accepting the award means there are a set of rules I have to abide by:
- To thank the person who nominated me
- Say 7 things about myself
- Pass the award on to any blog, I think are worthy.
OK, I have obeyed to similar rules in the past so lets see if I can
come up with another 7 things you didn’t know about me already:
- My picture was in the newspaper and in a Dutch magazine once
- I like to watch crime series (Criminal intent, Criminal Minds,
Law and Order, CSI – all of them, Bones, Numbers and – not a
crime series but still I’m hooked – House) - My fave food for lunch is whole-wheat bread with cheese –
especially if the bread comes from a good bakery. - My eyelids begin to sag and I hate it!
- I was a thumb-sucker and a nail-biter when I was little.
- I carry a tiny foldable ashtray in my bag. My brother gave it
to me years ago and it still comes in handy on occasions. - I collect postcards that show portraits of famous writers.
And now, it’s time to pass the award on!
The blogs which I think deserve this award are:
Chris (“Creative Mischief”) – for being a fellow book lover and
blogging about all kinds of arts and crafts. She’s a versatile lady!
Seth (“The Altered Page”) – does Seth need introduction?
He never fails to inspire the artistic blogworld with his posts!
Monica (“Bohemian Shadows”) – Art, photography, lifestyle –
this girl knows how to captivate me!
..
And to you all I want to say: thanks for being on the Internet.
Thanks for visiting me. Thanks for being my online friends!
I wish you all a happy and creative week!
Je t’embrasse.
