2: A Culture of Honour part 1

Today is the second of eight sessions from the Bible Study in 1 Corinthians called A Culture of Honour.    On this blog I shall be posting about my creative response to each session.   Session 2 is called A Culture of Honour.

I used the same techniques in my journal as last time.

Here are my two pages with the thin coat of gesso.

As before I stencilled with the blackberry acrylic paint.

And stamped with the Distress Ink.

I didn't like how the orange Archival Ink looked so I used Distress Ink this time.  I also added some washi tape.

Thanks for stopping by.

More planner pages

Last month I shared the pages for weeks 26 to 28.  The 52 Psalms study is being posted again after a short break but I have carried on sticking them into my book week on week which means that when I was sharing weeks 26-28 I hadn't received the study.  So here's a catch up.

Week 26

Week 27

Week 28
One of the challenges for Documented Life Project was to add hearts to the page and I found this great piece of scrapbook cardstock.  When I came to stick the next Psalm in there were more hearts.

Week 29
This was another week of watching the Tour de France.

Week 30
And yet another week of watching cycling.  Although I did go off for two days to a workshop with Hilary Beattie.

In One Little Word for July we were presented with a prompt which required us to do three things during the month: Self-care, Giving and Celebrate.  The page on the right is a gelli print.

Thanks for stopping by.

Zig Zag book pt 1

Do you remember the papers I painted last week?  Well here's what I've done with them so far.

I started of with a 6 inch square zig zag book which I bought from Art Van Go.  It's made from 100% recycled cotton rag and you get 5 of them in the pack for £3.50   You can see more about the paper here.

I worked out what size I wanted to work and drew a recatangle on each page.

I cut up some of the painted paper to the same size and tried it out on the pages.

I cut up the painted paers in different ways and glued them to the book pages.

I couldn't decide whether to show you each page as it developed or as in the way I worked.  I chose the latter.  I worked on each page and then took a photo.

Originally I was going to work on the small pieces of paper and use my sewing machine but I'm not very practised with that sort of work so I decided to do faux stitching instead.

These pages are finished - for now!  I'm going to leave them for a while and then come back to them to see if I should add anything else.

And of course, there's the other side to do yet.

Thanks for stopping by.
