Over the edge

Do you believe?

Today a page, about believe, do you believe in something?

The page is about my believe in the buddha, I really like the look of the buddha, I always stop in stores where I see one. I'm also working on a web-shop with jewelery made of gemstones, and with buddha amulets, it's a lot of work to build the site, so it takes some time. More about this when the shop is ready. The buddha has a special place in my live, I like the thinking of the buddha, with love and peace. It helps me sometimes to calm down.

At the border of the page I made some coins, and when you turn the page it tingles very funny.

 page "me"

Over The Edge Journal

I'm a huge fan of Ingrid Dijkers, she's a great artist in making Art Journals. I while ago I saw her Over The Edge Journal, and I wanted to make it right away. I started somewhere in November with the basic pages, and till then it was waiting...... This weak I started with the journal, 3 years ago a had a depression, and I started scrapping, now I only have eyes for the Art Journal. Between these years I have worked very hard to find myself again. This journal is about my own journal and spiritual site of me.

Ik ben een groot fan van Ingrid Dijkers, ze is een groot Journal artiest in het maken van hele creatieve Art Journals. Een tijdje geleden zag ik haar "Over the Edge"Journal, en ik wilde meteen aan de slag. In november was ik begonnen met de basis pagina's, en vanaf dat punt lag het maar te wachten om onderhanden genomen te worden. Nu ik minder werk heb ik daar wat meer de ruimte voor. Deze week ben ik met de Art Journal begonnen, 3 jaar geleden ben ik depressief geworden, en ben ik begonnen met scrappen. Langzaam aan heb ik mijn weg gevonden naar het Art Journaling en vind dat beter bij me passen. Deze Journal gaat over mezelf, Ik heb in die periode hard moeten vechten om mezelf te vinden, het gaat dus over de spirituele kant van mezelf.

First Page

this was a horrible one!! haha. Everything went wrong, I wrote the letters Buddha with a fine liner and after that I decided to paint the background with watercolor........Yep the letters fainted out....I tried to recover it, that worked a little bit. The background wasn't great either because of the watercolor it was spotty and not what I wanted, so again with acrylic paint, I forgot the letters, and it became on dirty black cloud............

One thing the Buddha learned me is,

The ART of letting GO!! haha

And I started all over again...

JOURNAL PAGE

Dark Days

Today something different, I had the inspiration from Tim Burton he makes some great things, I saw it on the site of marieke and I thought what the hell why not, something different. I'm a person who like to do alot of different things......

This page is about the dark days, everyone has in a while, so me too...

The background is with craquele medium and paint, it's really fun to work with.

I painted the spooky face, I really like the goofy faces...

JOURNAL PAGE

Balloon

I was inspired by the art of Marieke Jongenelen-Blokland she makes some great things in here Art Journal. She paints the faces of her characters herself. I really like that, and wanted to try it myself, so paint on the table and go!! It wasn't easy I can tell you that. I found a quote what was perfect for this situation, I wanted to paint a perfect face!! and it doesn't need to in an Art Journal,so there's NO MUST in ART ;-) with that in mind it worked haha.

 JOURNAL PAGE

Blossom

I went to the supermarket, and I saw this bottle green tea with honey, it tasted great but it also looked great! arizona green tea And I thought I really like to make some blossom in my art journal. and this is the result

JOURNAL PAGE

Watch out!

Here a new page of my journal, 7 April I had my car accident, and it keeps spinning in my head, So I thought I give it a page in my journal. For me it's a kind of busy page, like a comic book haha. A lot to see and a lot to tell!
