Psalm 34:8

I did this verse months ago as a practice for different lettering.

The verse is the star on this page. 

No need for anything fancy... just some cotton candy pink coloring.

Tomorrow is the start of our Bible Art Journaling 101 class if you are local.

Joshua 3:8

Not long before I went on my first mission trip, I read about this verse. The author was suggesting that we can miss out on God's miracles and blessings by not being willing to get our feet wet. Joshua and the people of Israel were not told what would happen when they stepped into the river. They were simply told to do it.

I love all the versions of this verse:

'When you reach the edge of the Jordan's waters, go and stand in the river.'" NIV 

'When you reach the banks of the Jordan River, take a few steps into the river and stop there.'" NLT

   God is wanting us to get our feet wet. Step into it from a place of obedience and trust, and wait upon the Lord! 

It is one of those verses that stays with me and I think about often. Often when I feel God tugging on me and inviting me to join Him in something He is doing, I think about this verse.

Sometimes the water isn't inviting (literally and figuratively). 

But then I think about the blessings I could miss out on because I wasn't willing to get my feet wet.

LOVE this verse!

If you want to join us in Bible Art Journaling 101 you still have time before the class starts. 

Joshua 3:5

This is one of those verses that has marked a real place in my heart because it marked a big moment in my life. 

I knew I would do 3 verses from one chapter in Joshua, I just had to figure out how to make it work on the same page. This is the first one. 

I LOVE this verse. I love the experiences I have had while holding on to this verse. I love the promise of this verse. I love knowing that I am invited to be apart of the Lord's wonders. I love the reverence in the word consecrate. 

The Lord became very real to me in this verse (and the two others in this chapter that will be posted soon).

Bible Art Journaling 101

Join us this Summer as we learn to create our own Artsy Faith Bible (Bible Art Journaling)

Every 2nd and 4th Tuesday we will meet locally for class and fellowship. If you are not able to attend but want to learn along with us, I will post our lessons the 2nd and 4th Wednesday in June, July, & August on www.ArtsyFaith.com 

You will be able to see our pages on facebook and on our Artsy Faith Pinterest board.

Below is an introduction PDF

Proverbs 16:24

This is the first "picture" verse I tried. I used colored pencils to color the image. I colored it many times to get the saturated color in the bee hive.

We will be having a class locally starting the second week of June and running over the summer. A few friends that live too far away have asked if they can join so I will be posting what we are doing here. I am still working out the details but I will post what we are doing in class the 2nd & 4th Tuesdays of the month for June, July, and August. 

Leave me a comment with your first name and your state (or country) so we can be praying for you as you work along with us in this class.

1 John 4:4

This is one that I took full inspiration from another. I still did it free hand but I just loved the way it looks. I love the message, the different fonts used, and the globe -just love that part. I added the touch of red for the heart. :-)

Don't be afraid to copy what you like. Sometimes in the crafting world, folks get upset about CASEing (copy and share everything) but not me. As long as one isn't trying to win a contest or something like that with the copied art it is the BEST way to learn to do what you love. Great works of art are often copied by students in an effort to learn more about their art and grow skills. That is exactly why I encourage CASEing. 

Additionally, when I am creating something I love, I retain it far better than something that I am not loving. 

As always, my process was a pencil sketch, outline with pigma micron 005, color with colored pencils.
