Hopefully, you have been working these past two weeks on getting your verses sketched and have been practicing different hand lettering.

Hopefully :-)

I wanted to do a video that takes you through my process of creating and then transferring the verse into the journaling Bible but I ended up with 4. They took a long time to do so we have sped it up 16x so that it is only a 4 min (or less) video.

Here is the first video:

And here is the second:

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).

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.
