The last day of June...where does time go?
Speaking of time, I had to do one last page for the **Art*Journal*Journey* June prompt - A Stitch in Time. Added some little zig zags to the corner of my BAJ page and also added some girls from the past wearing fancy dresses to my card. The girls are covering a very bad mistake with a white paint pen - lol. The BAJ background is made with an embossing folder inked up and sprayed with water. The water panels are all water colored with SU! Ink using a penny for the sun.
These verses in Psalm 126 have much deeper meanings than the seem. I looked up Negev and it is a desert. So then I looked up watercourses, and it seems that when it rains in this desert, the water trickles down into patterns which then meet each other until they are powerful streams. A beautiful analogy and so meaningful. Lovely.
I also did a few more BAJ pages lately with matching cards.
This one is made with some botanical tissue paper, stencils, white gesso and gold paint. The hummingbirds and the card sentiment are from the old SU! Elements of Style set. I focused on Psalms 102 and 103, but mainly the opening words of Psalm 103: My soul, bless the Lord, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. My soul bless the Lord, and do not forget all His benefits.
This one was made by painting up some heavyweight white paper with gesso, then some Arteza Gouache rust paint, then some blue Dina Wakely Acylic paint mixed with Crackle Paint. Then put on an Andy Skinner stencil. Once dry, I cut up the panels, punched in holes, added distress inks, put them all together and then did more stenciling (Stamperia Pipes). The tags are Stamperia Sea World. More Psalms - Psalm 119 which is the longest Psalm and contains several dozen prayers. It is like a history lesson and has several themes as well. I focused on the pleas of help and the expectation and knowledge that God would help. With all that is going on in my life and the world - that is all important.
I have also made some cards - should make some matching BAJ pages for them too - especially this first one. It two combined SU! sets - Sailing Home and High Tide. Also added in some torn paper clouds and a fun stencil with purple Textures Effects Paste (love that stuff).
Tried my hand a bunch of doodling around this teapot. Made with the flower and pot from SU! Tea Together. Took a bit of time to do all the doodling!
Also tried no line watercoloring... it was hard but I like the result. The truck is Printworks Collection -Dad's Truck and the words are TH (I think - it is a stamp totally separated from its friends for some reason. I used Distress Inks to stamp and paint the truck. Added in rust where hubby's rust is on his 1949 (I think) Ford Truck.
Cased Cathy Mac at SCS who was this week's Featured Stamper (so talented). I drew my flowers and leaves and painted them Arteza Gouache Paint.
Hope you are having a great week - I only have two days of work this week since I took off two days and Friday is a National holiday. Fun!!! Dreading the catch up though.
Many hugz,
Nancy

You have been busy!! Your Bible journaling is inspirational. Thanks for linking up with A Stitch in Time!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, woW! hat a feast for the eyes today. The Negev is indeed a beautiful place. My niece lives there in a little town not far from the Dead Sea. I love the Psalms because they are Hebrew poetry. The second set of bible journal pages in b/w are my faves today. And I love the rusty pages, and the beautiful teapot, and all of the cards. You have been a very busy bee. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Valerie
