\nRemember the sneak peek from last post?
\nI added just a little bit more – not too much though, and now it’s finished.
\nThis time, the word to work with was “Tangled”<\/p>\n
I used double-sided tape as a base on the (plain) page. Next day, I added some more double-sided tape and repeated the former I also took a photo from an angle…<\/p>\n Look at the dimension on the page!!! Isn’t it marvelous to create this effect Another detail.<\/p>\n I just can’t get enough of it… ..<\/p>\n Next are the pages from my weekly art journal (for this week) I coloured these pages with water colour crayons and paint. I collect items\/images during the week to add to my pages (depending on what I finish the pages over the weekend. Play with it a little on Saturday, and finish ..<\/p>\n Today, Nout has his last exams. Geography and English. And so I call it a day now. Hope you all have a lovely weekend!<\/p>\n Je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/01_tangled.jpg\" "\\"01_tangled\\"")

\nFirst, I stuck the strings to it. After that, I added the Kraft paper and tore
\nit off again which gave a nice effect.
\nThen I placed some pieces from a dictionary page.
\n(and that was the moment I didn’t quite know what to do next, so I took
\na picture for a sneak peek)<\/p>\n
\nwith white blotting paper. That was just what the page needed!
\nI accentuated the word “tangled” with a red marker and that was it!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/02_tangled_detail.jpg\" "\\"02_tangled_detail\\"")

\nI’m still in oooh and aaah over the texture!<\/p>\n
\nThis is to show how I work during the week: I start on Monday or Tuesday
\nby making the background. I don’t know what the week will bring yet,
\nso I keep it simple. I DO know there are 7 days in a week and this time
\nI wanted space for every day to write something… so I left room for that.<\/p>\n
\nI choose from emotion – I have a choice to use patterned paper, or spray ink,
\nor old book pages or, or… just anything I like or can think of.
\nThis time, the background with the squares is inspired by the art journal
\npages Eric<\/a> makes.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.maritspaperworld.com\/old-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/04_weekly_aanzet.jpg\" "\\"04_weekly_aanzet\\"")

\nhappens in that week). Sometimes I glue it onto the page right away, or write
\none or two days journaling, but other times I just collect things. I always make
\nsure that I leave room for “unexpected things” which is a good thing to do,
\nespecially this week because my parents unexpectedly came to visit us on
\nWednesday. The space on the bottom left is perfect to add some photos now!<\/p>\n
\nit on Sunday (or Monday). And after that, the process starts all over again with
\nnew pages…. I totally love this way of freewheeling in my “play journal”.<\/p>\n
\nUp ’till now, all the tests went very well and I hope this ones will too.
\nAnd so this afternoon, he will be finished…
\nHigh School days are over!
\nSummer holiday!!!
\nGraduate!!!
\nParty!!!<\/p>\n
\nI’m taking the rest of the day off… and be a proud mom!<\/p>\nI am gathering advice and wisdom from all over the world – to add in a mini
\nalbum I’m creating for my son to give to him as he graduates highschool \u00e1nd
\nturns 18. What would you say to him? What advice would you give to a young
\nadult, stepping into a new life phase? All quotes, suggestions, advice, poems
