It’s been eight (8!) months since I joined What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday… I used to share my workdesk each week however since I’ve a job, free time to spend in my atelier is proscribed. Sharing a photograph of my workdesk would nonetheless be doable however it might solely be honest to take action if I’ve the time to go to the blogs of my ‘fellow deskers’ and there often will not be sufficient time for that… (those amongst you who obtain my month-to-month e-newsletter are conscious of all the remainder that I do and can agree) and so that you don’t see me fairly often at woyww.
So, it’s been a very long time, and one thing modified over these months… Julia, our beloved host of WOYWW, retired after internet hosting the weekly occasion for over 15 years (I don’t blame her for retiring, it’s fairly a ‘factor’ she did and she or he put a lot power and love in for therefore a few years…) Luckely, she discovered a successor in Sarah Brennan who retains it going since Might of this yr, so HI THERE SARAH, it’s my first time I’ll put up my hyperlink over at your weblog, and HI THERE, MY FELLOW ARTISTS & DESKERS, I plan on visiting you this week and am curious to see what you’re all as much as.
For now, right here’s how my workdesk seems to be at this time
For all those who knew me earlier than: sure, I’m nonetheless journaling and preserving my ‘Chronicles’ going.
For those who don’t know me but… I’m an artwork journaler, I bind my very own journals to fill them with every kind of issues (‘blended media’)
I work in numerous journals however there’s one ‘theme journal’, The Chronicles, that I preserve going since 2010 and that may be seen as a crimson thread… These are handmade visible year-journals by which I create a weekly unfold. It’s type of a visible diary and on its pages I remark and replicate on my days or simply attempt to seize the week in phrases and photos.
In the present day I present you the newest spreads
Chronicles Week 40
Background of previous items of ebook paper with some white paint over it to tone down the colour. Circles reduce out of patterned paper and a collage of a ‘Zetti-like’ determine. Rather a lot occurred that week so I simply stuffed the open area with textual content to have the ability to do away with every thing. (I blurred the textual content within the decrease proper nook for privateness causes.)
Chronicles Week 41
In week 41, the footbal participant Johan Neeskens died. I used to be a fan of him after I was younger, I even ship him a letter when he performed for FC Barcelona – again within the early eighties – and requested him for his autograph… which I obtained and treasured since then – see additional pictures.)
Chronicles Week 42
a reasonably easy unfold as a result of I felt a bit ‘caught’… ‘stiff and rusty’ after a couple of busy weeks by which I barely had time to create… the move will not be again but so I used to be being variety to myself and restricted this unfold to a painted background, some photos and a few textual content. (Acknowledge Rutger Hauer? I noticed a documentery about him, and an image of a surrealist portray made by Leonora Carrington, I painter I learn a ebook about.)
And that’s it for me this week. Hope you loved seeing me and my artwork once more… take pleasure in your week!
