<\/a><\/p>\nI made pages all through
\nthat year based on his
\nsong lyrics. I didn’t bind
\nthe pages ’cause I had the
\nintention to add one more
\npage using a particular song
\n(“Anthem”) but I couldn’t find
\nthe right image to go with it.<\/p>\n
I also had a strange kind of .. Last week I decided to NOT make that last page and I bound the pages. View from the side:<\/p>\n View from the top:<\/p>\n ..<\/p>\n I added the content on the first page.<\/p>\n You can find all the pages of this book here in my gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n ..<\/p>\n Another page for A Year in the Life of an Art Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n I see only now that I worked on the wrong assignment… So I used the word “Slow” and you also had to use spirals I also made this page with the challenge of Scrapping the Music<\/a> in mind. I made this on aquarel paper and the technique is one that Michelle ..<\/p>\n Last week, I got a request from Bernice… You can see what students in the former “Art Journey” class Soooo….<\/p>\n If you are interested and would like to take this class in January\/February, ..<\/p>\n And for the Dutchies: registration for the Dutch Let it Loose is still open! ..<\/p>\n It’s 5 o’clock in the afternoon, and still raining. Je t’embrasse!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
\nsuperstition to make that page.
\nIn August 2009 I said this
\nabout it: “…there\u2019s something
\nstrange, something weird,
\nsomething very scary to it\u2026
\n\u2019cause somehow I have the
\nfeeling that when I finish this
\njournal, Leonard will die…”<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/em><\/p>\n
\nWhy? Well, for one: I think my style of art journaling changed too much
\nsince I worked on a Leonard Cohen page. A new page would never “fit in”
\nwith the older ones. And then there’s Leonard, who still lives.
\nI just refuse to make a last page and cause his death.
\nI saved him a few extra years last week! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI accidentally skipped a word!
\nOh well, I’ll save that word (“Light”) for the next time.<\/p>\n
\non the page. My puddles are sort of spirals I guess…<\/p>\n
\nThe song this week is “No Rain” by Blind Melon.
\nWe had a lot (and I mean A LOT!) of rain here in the last days,
\nso the sentence from the lyrics “watching the puddles gather rain”
\nspoke to me! I love to stare out the window when it rains, it’s almost
\nmeditative – “slowing down” it is!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nhad a lesson about in the workshop “Mixed Emotions”.
\nI drew with oil crayons and painted it with water colour paint afterwards.
\nThis\u00a0 “resist technique” fitted the theme well!<\/p>\n
\nshe asked if the workshop “A Creative Journey” would run
\nanytime soon. I had no plans for that but thinking about it,
\nit would be fun to run this workshop again in January\/ February!
\nI decided to do just that if there are enough people who wants
\nto take this class. Info about it can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nmade with the lessons in the Public Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nplease send me an email and I will put you on the list.
\nAs soon as there are over 7 interested in this class, the button in the shop
\nwill be activated and registration will be open. With enough participants,
\nI will pick a date in January\/February to start.<\/p>\n
\nFind the info here!<\/a><\/p>\n
\nI hope you have better weather where you live,
\nbut whatever weather it may be: keep smiling and keep creating!
\nMake this weekend a nice and cosy one!<\/p>\n
