Was doing my 10th page for Faith Fest yesterday and remembered to take photos of my desk, then I couldn't choose which one to share - LOL, so here's the one at the start where I was writing my verse of the day out. I manage a month's worth on the one spread - it makes me smile.
The Faith Fest pages are based on the same verses in Mark 14:3-6 about a woman breaking an alabaster jar and pouring the very expensive oil/perfume over Jesus' head.
For this one we put lots of different acrylic paints in a pot and poured them on the page, certainly very cathartic for me.
Spent a lot of the day searching out images for this page as the presenter didn't include any printables to use. Got into a bit of a pickle with spray inks glad I got my pizza box/spray booth out - phew!
I did the watercolour one both in my journal and my Bible. I had to do it in Matthew 26:6-13. Which describes a similar if not the same anointing.
On Sunday I did the page in the morning and the heart journal in the afternoon. Probably my best day so far. All the stress of previous days had ebbed away thankfully.
Irony of the situation is the troubles we've been having in the house lately. I have a very keen sense of smell and could detect a faint "cabbage smell" which got worse and was probably a dead rodent under the floorboards! Don't ask! I used bicarb of soda pots to absorb the smell and vinegar dishes to combat the smell which got worse!
Then hubby made a curry - yuk - I have to batten down the hatches when he does that. (no I don't eat it either!) I put more vinegar out to descale the draining board - thought let's fight fire with fire!
And with all this the Faith Fest has been on a fragrant oil/perfume! Oh my life.
Anyway I really enjoyed making the heart journal incorporating lots of things which mean a lot to me.
My last 2 pages have been a lot more straight forward .
Learnt a lot about anointing with Hebrew & Greek words which we translate as Messiah and Christ.
Actually did my last scrapbook page for the last lot of prints too.
A very frozen Wisley back in January.
Used acrylic paint flowers and watercolour leaves which I'd made along the way in the week.
Need to order some more prints now!
