Oh my goodness, my Bible Journalling goodies arrived last Wednesday morning, I got a new Bible with plain margins, some watercolours and a kit to get me going and going I got!
I had a practice in my Dylusions Journal first as I'd never really done any watercolour painting since a child!
Then has a go on the back page for my first attempt on the flimsy paper. The back page is becoming a collage of bits of my pages now.
I've done a few pages over the week, loving adding colour to my Bible.
And as if that wasn't enough, I finished a jigsaw without a "correct" picture - a who dunnit one.
I even managed to stick a scrapbook page down and plan a few more of those too. Phew!
PS. If you spotted the spelling mistake, well done! The kit I bought had the wrong spelling which I copied unwittingly on my first page. I was gutted when a friend pointed it out but I've left it despite lots of ideas as to how to change it.
Morning BJ, sounds like your mojo is in full throttle!! Love the bible journalling idea, will make it very special. Hubby finished our puzzle (one of those wasjig ones) and anew one arrived yesterday. I've just brought it in from our 'decontamination' area lol. Good to see you scrapboooking as well. Happy WOYWW, stay safe, stay well, Cindy #18
ReplyDeleteBeautiful journaling in that Bible BJ. I must admit, I didn't pick up the spelling mistake on first glance, just the lovely water colouring. Well done on the jigsaw! Stay safe and happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely to rediscover another creative outlet and I think you have done a great job. If the paper is too flimsy you may even be able to buy some watercolour ground to paint on pages before you paint with the w/c. But, it looks like they are holding up very well. Stay safe and keep having fun as you create.

Hi BJ. Great work - you've certainly been busy with your Bible.. well done. Love the paintings. Scrap book page, and more to come too. I'm quite exhausted just looking - maybe need to go have a lie down!
ReplyDeleteTake care. Stay safe. God bless.

Oh you have been busy, lovely work in your bible, I understand how that must be such a pleasure. Pastypat.blogspot.com is the blog of Patsy in the Philippines , you probably will remember her artwork and bible journaling as soon as you see it, but I thought you may like to look in on her.
ReplyDeleteOnce the watercolour bug bites you you'll be doing it all the time, glad you jumped on in you've made a great start over the week. It's a beautiful thing is Bible journaling. Lots of crafty activity thanks so much for sharing, I just seemed to have been dreaming whilst painting larger walls.

Fabulous bible journalling. Fab desk share. Take care Zoe xx 25
ReplyDeleteLovely journalling in your bible, and I didn't notice the spelling mistake until you pointed it out! I can see how you would get such pleasure creating beautiful art work in such a precious book. Well done on doing the jigsaw without the picture - not something I would ever contemplate doing as I know if would put my blood pressure through the roof - I'm not patient enough, and in fact if I lay a new jigsaw out and some pieces are still hooked together from when it was made I carefully lay them to one side to keep them like that - hubby says it's cheating!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good week, stay safe and well,

just dashing round some desk whilst my (late) dinner cooks... been a busy day - but the phone is fixed! (it's phone/vape shop so open) Great journalling. Helen #4

ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! I love the Bible Journaling pages - I hope that I will have some time this week to get mine out again - it's ages since I last did any. Happy belated WOYWW. Stay safe and take care my friend. With love & God Bless, Caro xx (#29)
ReplyDeleteLovely bible journaling - does it not come through on the other side then? Always intrigued me.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet 8
Wow, BJ, your Bible journaling is beautiful! Who'd have thought you were a beginner? Do you find that it bleeds through to the other side of the page? You are certainly not letting the grass grow under your feet during the lockdown.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
