studiojune

It has been a crazy year. We’ve all had so many ups and downs, they’re countless. Don’t worry, I won’t go into detail about the loss, sorrow and disappointments that came our way in 2020. And I won’t be saying that 2021 is going to be different and great and all that, because we really don’t know.

But what I do know, is that there are so many things we can do to help each other in times of trouble. So I decided to start the next year in a positive way and offer a logo design for free for 2 starting entrepreneurs on Curaçao. Many people had to change their carreer plans in 2020 and some of them have choosen to start a small business of themselves. So… are you one of those people, heading off to a new adventure? Are you starting your own business? And would you like to get a chance to win a free logo design? Read the terms and let me know. Deadline for your submission is January 15, 2021. It’s not a lot of work to apply, I just want to hear your story :-)

You can see some of the logos I previously designed on my portfolio page. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me any time.

Last but not least, my wishes for you for the upcoming year:

Lots of happiness, health and prosperity in 2021!

Wow, this was nice! The first workshop Art Journaling was an easy going Saturday morning filled with information, laughter, and a lot of creativity. With seven lovely ladies listening, creating and experimenting for hours, the workshop really felt like a succes. Everybody went home with a goodiebag and a smile. And for sure, I was very happy as well. It was a great pleasure to see all this creativity flowing and to be part of it.

Journals
There were several assignments during the morning, to be made in each one’s personal brand new art journal. We used different approaches like working with pens, watercolor and collage. So much variety in the outcome… it was awesome.

Next workshop
It didn’t take too much time to decide for a second workshop. The next one is scheduled on Saturday November 21. There are 6 spots; we’ll keep it personal and cozy once again, and ofcourse Covid-proof. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me for any questions or to reserve your spot right away. Costs are Naf. 159 (incl. ob), with some snacks and drinks, all materials and a goodie bag included. That’s a little investment in developing your creativity!

Date: November 21, 2020
Time: 9.00 – 13.00 hrs
Place: Curaçao Coworking Pietermaai
Event on Facebook

Are you already art journaling and you just want to exchange some ideas or tips? I would love to hear from you. Send me a message or connect with me on Facebook or Instagram.

On September 12, I will be hosting the workshop ‘Creative juices’ at Curacao Coworking in Pietermaai (which is a great place for flex working). In this workshop, you will learn the basics of art journaling and I will show you how you can get (and keep!) your creative juices flowing by using this powerfull creative tool. With the use of many materials, like pen, pencil, paint, magazines, cards and stamps, you will be able to create your own visual diary in which you can experiment with techniques, capture important moments and relieve stress or any other feeling.

Date: Saturday September 12, 2020
Time: 9.00 – 13.00 hrs
Costs: Naf 159, incl. ob, materials and goodie bag

Some quotes to inspire you during these confusing times

Oh, these times are confusing. The Corona-virus keeps us all inside, at home. Many of us do not have a job anymore, or cannot work as long as we are not allowed back on the streets. We spend a lot of time with our family and long for some time alone, or are feeling lonely and long for the company of friends and relatives. We worry, and at the same time, we enjoy the amount of time we have to unwind, read books and clean up the closets. We are scared, but try to comfort others. Yes, times are definitely confusing. My way of dealing with this? Writing, painting and drawing in my journals and sketchbooks!

It was too bad I had to postpone my first workshop about art journaling on the first of April. I was really looking forward to it. But I’m sure there will be another time where I can pursue this little dream of me. In the meantime, I have put together some tips for you if you would like to try journaling at home. Give it a try, you have nothing to loose and definitely something to win!
