Art Journal Simple Prompts

I’m participating in a weekly challenge on Instagram: Art Journal Simple Prompts (#ajsp52w). The last few weeks I had not much time to blog, so here are week 29-33. The prompt for week 29 was 3. I collaged the Dutch quote for third time’s a charm.
The prompt for week 30 was 4. Again I did some hand lettering. Onder 4 ogen is Dutch for in private, but translated literally it’s under 4 eyes. The prompt for week 31 was 5 and again I did some hand lettering.
The prompts for week 32 was 6, which made me draw a house on number 6. The prompt for week 33 was 7, which made me make a nice collage.

De nieuwe wending uitdaging

There’s a quilting challenge at the Dutch Quiltersgilde. This month we had to experiment with a crossed square block. I started drawing a lot of variations. It was not easy to decide which block I should make!
Of course I stitched my block by hand.
My finished block, I only changed the size of the parts and added a third colour.
And these are all blocks so far.

Quirky Dutch Summer

Quirky Dutch Summer is a series of weekly blogposts at Marit’s Paper World with inspiration and tutorials.
In week 6 Willy Duit showed us how to make a book with envelopes. I made it some time ago, but had no time to blog about it. Staining the envelopes with tea didn’t work, so I used tea dye ink to add some colour to my envelopes.
I bound my book with 3 wooden buttons.

the back
I’m not sure what to put in the pockets of my book yet, time will tell!
I made pockets on the inside of the covers too.

I used postage stamps and napkins to decorate my book.

ICAD

This year I participated in ICAD (Index Card A Day) for the 4th time. There was a weekly theme with daily prompts, which you can find at Daisy Yellow. I shared my cards on my Facebook blog and Instagram on the day I created them and wrote a weekly post with more info on this blog.

The prompt for day 60 was accordion, but I didn’t use it. I just made a nice print with one of my hand carved Carve December stamps.
The prompt for day 61 was symphony. I made a collage with music paper on a blue background and decorated it with stamped images.
These were the last cards for this year. I will make a box for my cards in the coming weeks, just like the one I made last year.
