It’s been seventeen (17!) months since I joined What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday… I used to share my workdesk every week but since I have a job, free time to spend in my atelier is limited. Sharing a photo of my workdesk would still be possible but it would only be fair to do so if I have the time to visit the blogs of my ‘fellow deskers’ and there usually is not enough time for that… (the ones among you who receive my monthly newsletter are aware of all the rest that I do and will agree my time is limited) and so you don’t see me very often at woyww.
So, it’s been a long time, but Sarah is still hosting the ‘deskers’ and I have a little vacation (this week and the next) to fill with whatever I want – a lot of creating going on – and I thought it would be fun to join in this wednesday to see if all my former desk-collaborators are still there. HI THERE, MY FELLOW ARTISTS & DESKERS, I plan on visiting you this week and am curious to see what you’re all up to.
For now, here’s how my workdesk looks today

It’s a rather big project I’m working on: making 80 “prompt/inspiration cards”. I got a list of “prompts” from a woman in an art journal group on Facebook. I printed those prompts and selected eighty of them. Next, I spend an afternoon making gelliplate-prints and glued those on old playing cards.
Next, I dived into my stash of scrapbook papers to glue on the back.
I’m still cutting out and gluing the prompt-sentences, and it will cost me another afternoon or so to finish the task. I might decorate the cards even more, depending on the time I have left ’cause there are more things I want to work on this week as there is: my CHRONICLES!
For all the ones who knew me from former years: yes, I am still journaling and keeping my ‘Chronicles’ going.
For the ones who don’t know me yet… I am an art journaler, I bind my own journals to fill them with all kinds of things (‘mixed media’)
I work in different journals but there’s one ‘theme journal’, The Chronicles, that I keep going since 2010 and that can be seen as a red thread… These are handmade visual year-journals in which I create a weekly spread. It’s sort of a visual diary and on its pages I comment and reflect on my days or just try to capture the week in words and pictures,
My friend Lena took photo’s of me with all my Chronicles journals the other day, ain’t this a fun picture?
Here’s the latest week spreads.
Chronicles Week 13
Gelli print background, collage (the three little pictures = details of my art, older work) and yes, I’m a bicycle race fan…
Chronicles Week 14
Painted background, washi tape, gelliprint cut out ‘eggs’ (it was the week of Easter) and I painted the heads of me and my friend on cut-out figures.
Chronicles Week 15
The big portrait is cut out of a magazine: famous bicycle racer Wout van Aert
And that’s it for me this week. Hope you enjoyed seeing me and my art again… enjoy your week!
