Glimpses of Jesus 6

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about the sacrifice that Abraham was to make of Isaac in Genesis 22.

I found a photograph of a lamb rather than a lamb caught up in branches (see Genesis 22:13) and put the verse on using Publisher.   I printed it out the full size of my journal page.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

Glimpses of Jesus 5

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about the birth of Isaac in Genesis 18.

I made a very simple journal page for this.

I printed out the ultrasound scan of my grandson on ordinary printer paper and glued it to the journal page.  I put white gesso on the rest of the page and over the edge of the torn photo.  When that was dry I painted the gesso with grey paint.  Then I used sticker letters which I drew round with a pen.

Glimpses of Jesus 2

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

This week we are looking at the first glimpse of the saviour in Genesis 3.   I found one of my photographs of a garden and added the words using Publisher.

The second page of my journal looked like this.

I put a light coat of green acrylic paint and stuck the photo onto the page.  The stamping underneath still looked too strong so I put a thin coat of gesso on the top so that I could journal.  In the photo below the journaling isn't quite finished yet - a bit personal!

You can join in with the Bible study without doing a creative response.  I do hope you will join me.

Glimpses of Jesus 1

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Simon's first post is about Creation. 

Phil, who is a member of my church, wrote an amazing poem and he gave me permission to use part of it for this study.   I placed Phil's poem over a photo of one of the backgrounds I painted last year and printed it out on photo paper.

I am using a small Dylusions journal for this study.  It is one that I had already dried off stencils and stamps on odd pages.  The first double page looked like this.

I put some white gesso over the writing.

Then I stuck the photo onto the page and wrote underneath.

I'm really looking forward to this Bible study looking for Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament.  I hope you will join me.

Thanks for stopping by.
