During August I am taking a rest from writing new blog posts.
Instead I am taking you back to blog posts I have written over
the years. Although I actually started the blog in 2008, I didn't
really get going until 2011.
In this post I'll take you back to 2019. I wrote 103 posts that year.

The post today is called Time to Talk. I sometimes write about more serious things, in between the holiday photos and the workshops!

In this post I'll take you back to 2014. I wrote 193 posts that year. Festival of Quilts sadly was cancelled this year so it's great to look at this post: My Unique Colour Story.
I had forgotten that I was using these colours six years ago. Perhaps I should read through my blog more often!

In this post I'll take you back to 2012. I wrote 164 posts that year. There are two posts I really liked, so you get two for the price of one today.
Firstly a post from April: And here's what I know. Even in 2012 I was telling myself I had to stop doing so many classes. It has taken 8 years and Covid-19 to go cold turkey!
And the second post is from May 2012 about an anniversary card in Going Postal.

So fo the first in the series exploring my blog, I am taking you back to a post about a new course I was doing back then called Explore.
This is the last of the ReWind posts before we start our Advent Study at His Kingdom Come. The theme for this week was Promises - the promises of God.
Continuing with using my new Gelatos I scribbled 2 different colours - one on each page.
I wet the pages and then pressed one onto the other.
And peeled them apart to reveal this.
I left it to dry naturally.
I put two types of washi tape around the edge of the pages.
I put washi tape in random places on the page. At this point I still had no idea where the page was going.
I printed out 5 verses and coloured the paper with Distress Ink. I put the verses onto the pages and drew round them with a turquoise pen. The pen didn't work well over the gelatos so some of the lines are a bit wonky!
This week's ReWind looks back to August's Shaped by Gratitude.
I used some shaped post-it type sheets onto my page and put gesso on the page. The shapes acted as a mask.
When the gesso was dry I scribbled with the gelato colours.
I used a wet wipe to blend them together.
When I removed the green shapes some of them had bits stuck to the gesso but I left them - added texture?
I wrote the theme word for each month of Take Me Deeper in oone of the shapes with a coloured pen.
Then I wrote prayers of gratitude based on that theme.
Only one more week of ReWind to go. Come back next Saturday to see my journal page.
We are continuing with the ReWind theme in Take Me Deeper at His Kingdom Come. This week's them looks back to Honour, the theme for July.
I used some of stick on letters to put the word honour in several places.
At this point I had no idea what I was going to do and then as I had the black gesso out I put black gesso over the whole page.
I wasn't quite sure how gelatos would work with this but I decided to give it a go. As you can see in the photo below I scribbled on the page and then blended the colours. I tried a small section with a wet wipe which wiped off some of the colour so I used a piece of paper towel instead.
I went over the letters with a silver gelato.
I added words and a border with a white Sharpie
It's not one of my favourite pages but at least I learned that you can put gelato colours on black gesso.
The theme for ReWind this week at Take Me Deeper on His Kingdom Come is Family. This was the theme for June. I didn't do the pages in June but caught up in September.
I have just bought some Gelatos and decided I would try them out in my TMD journal without having tried them anywhere else. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and then went for it.
I put gesso on the page and when it was dry I used 6 colours of gelatos to scribble across the top of the page.
I tried to blend them with the foam tool that came with the Gelatos.
Then I sprayed the whole page with water but forgot to take a photo. At this point I was totally stuck for ideas so I chose two washi tapes that I like and made a border round the page with them.
Then I chose another two washi tapes and randomly stuck them down.
Then I went and re-read the prompt for this week. The worship video was The Poem of Your Life by Michael Card.
I found the lyrics and printed out the first verse and stuck it on to my page.
Do you like to journal the lyrics of songs?
Thanks for stopping by. Bernice
PS And in case you thought I had forgotten the winner of the HKC Birthday Blog prize was
I
remember a year ago my daughter Jessica and I had participated in
Shonna's Kingdom Come workshop which had been a wonderful experience for
the both of us. Then the Advent study started and we jumped on board
with that as well. Then the excitement and relief that the being a part
of a Christian arty community was available. I am so thankful for the
privilege of being a member of HKC community! I appreciate your
willingness to share your time, talents and wisdom with us, Bernice!
Thank you.
