Crusade no. 42 - Part 2

Vanavond dan toch eindelijk  mijn Moleskine pagina voor Crusade no. 42 afgemaakt. Zo zie je maar, ineens is er wat tijd en vooral ... wat inspiratie !

Tonight I finally finished my Moleskine page for Crusade no. 42. All of a sudden there was some time and, more important, some inspiration !

Een tijd geleden heb ik dit vel papier geschilderd. Gewoon bruin pakpapier  Wit zijdevloeipapier, en heel veel plezier ....

A few weeks back I painted this paper. Just ordinary brown packing paper white tissuepaper, and a little bit of fun ....


In repen gescheurd en in mijn journal geplakt, en verder afgemaakt met mijn vogel-sjabloon, en wat tekst. Vrij als een vogel ... dat zou ik willen zijn. Met een lichaam wat niet altijd kan wat ik wil, de tredmolen van het leven, soms zo moeizaam, en de slapeloze nachten die eindeloos lijken ....

Ripped the paper and glued strips into my journal and finished it with my bird-template and a little text. Translated it says : Free as a bird .. that's what I want to be. With a body that often can't do what I want, the every day life, sometimes so hard, and the sleepless nights without an end ....



En dat alles lijkt weer vergeten als ik deze mooie pagina bekijk, ik vind hem echt heel mooi geworden !

And I forget all those troubles immediately looking at my page, I really love how this one turned out !

Wonderful blues, I especially like all those patient white dots on the blue writing. I like the way you have taken the flowers right off the edges of the pages.
