I love to write Scripture so this was a fun week for me.

 I do have many scriptures that I love but this is one of my favorites. 

I did this with CalligraFUN letters with different colors of

Pitt brush markers by Faber-Castell.

This is GRATITUDE week.
Don't forget the SUMMER SALE!!

Week 22 of Documented Life Project

This week was put a house in your journal. I just love to create this little funky wonky houses.  And I do love that Scripture too.

Do not be anxious--

Even though I am nearing the end of this journal, there are several more two page spreads to go. This is one of my favorite Scriptures that hits me in the face every time I read it. I know that the Lord has it all in His hands but sometimes I don't act like I believe it. Well, thank goodness for His mercy and forgiveness!

A Virtuous Woman

This is on the background of the first canvas I posted several days back. The Scripture is from Proverbs 31--"Strength and dignity are her clothing and she smiles at the days to come".... and there is Scripture along the sides.

Paint the Art of Your Heart

Here is the collage piece with the white Gesso. Also Sharon Tomlinson was so very kind to write me a note and share how she does this---she used Golden Zinc white. I ran right out and got some. I haven't adhered it to the 12 x 12 canvas yet with the Scripture around the sides. I was just trying it out to see if it worked. I used black gouache to letter it with my calligraphy pen. The tiny hearts are a carved stamp and the white hearts were already punched out when I pulled it out from my scrap drawer.

Another Gel Transfer

This is a gel transfer of my lettering that I had copied backwards so it would transfer correctly. I don't have a laser printer or a copier with toner so I have to go have the copies made. This is a 5x5 canvas panel with some acrylic and stamps. Pretty easy and fun!

My Voice

One of my new year's resolutions is to do more calligraphy---and not to stress about it too much. No lines, no layout, just write. This Scripture spoke to me today so I decided to write it. I will try and do more of that---hopefully. I haven't even pasted anything down, in fact there is something painted on the back of the paper. Writing on the back of scrap paper is freeing for some reason. Lack of self confidence?---probably---fear of failure?... probably. Yeah, I know, I'm a little bit crazy that way.

FOR UNTO US AND CHILD IS BORN

PRESENTING...JANE LOWRY JONES---my grand-niece--4 years old.

RUTH-From the Old Testament

I've been doodling in my Bible in church again. Hopefully people are thinking how conscientious I am taking all these notes! I was listening-- and I actually listen better when I doodle.

This is Ruth in the field. She has her bag over shoulder as she is gathering the grain. I imagine that she is very beautiful and very young. Her husband has died and she and her mother in law, Naomi, have come back to Israel in the hope that Naomi's inheritance can be redeemed. Ruth was a Gentile and could have had light skin with light hair.

Boaz has seen her in the field and admired her---and she has seen Boaz. She is thinking about him here and remembering what Noami, her mother in law, has told her she must do. It is a beautiful Biblical story---one of my favorites. It has a very happy ending.
