Hello Crafty Friends!
I love Halle's theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* this month: Botanicals. So many possibilities...
I combined the botanical theme with some of the colors in ARTNUDGE#725A and came up with this Bible Art Journal page focusing on 1 Timothy 2:1-2. I also made a patriotic prayer card too.
I experimented on this journal page. I usually cover any bible journal pages with gesso before painting on them, but I have issues with the gesso gumming up my Micron pens or unevenly taking color. This time I used Daniel Smith Ground Medium in Titanium White (I mixed it with 10 parts water). I loved it and will be using it in the future. After coating the page and drying it. I added a weak mixture of Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and some water. I covered the page with it and then dried it before drawing the flowers and added splotches and splatters of the color and doing the journaling.
The prayer card was done with watercolors (Daniel Smith), CoocAni Acrylic paint pens, and Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo.
Consider joining the group over at **Art*Journal*Journey* - they are some of the nicest artists and they all come up with some lovely art. I would also love it if you joined in the ArtNudge July challenge too - there are prizes. Both these challenges are all about inspiring artists with themes and/or colors.
Thanks for visiting!

It is good to see you back online Nancy. How is retirement going? I've missed seeing your art. That's a great journal page, and perfect for Halle's challenge at AJJ. I'm thrilled you decided to join in. I hope you're back online a bit more frequently now. And I hope you have a super July 4th and that retirement is going great. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWhoops, and I forgot to say thank you for joining AJJ also.
ReplyDeleteLovely florals in your Bible journal. Thanks for joining in the fun on AJJ.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely entry for Halle's theme at AJJ. Your thought provoking words and message are wonderful. I'm sure we could all use a little more prayer right about now. It's great to see you back online. I've missed you.
ReplyDeleteIf only some of the world leaders had love in their hearts. I wished someone, who is about to go on a long holiday, well for her trip and she later wrote and said how she is afraid to step out of her own country. Must be awful to feel like that.
ReplyDeleteLove your bible journaling and thanks for the tip about the alternative to Gesso.
Hugs, Neet xx
