Book Club

Starting on Monday I am leading a book study of the book: The Creative Call by Janice Elsheimer.

To quote the author:
This book ‘offers Christians a point of view and an approach that is consistent with Christ’s teachings.   Instead of hoping that finding ourselves will result in practicing our art again, we need to realize that only through losing ourselves and becoming reliant on God can we discover how to use those gifts the way he wants us to use them.‘

We will be reading a chapter each week and sharing our thoughts in the discussion area for each chapter on the His Kingdom Come website.  If you are not already a member it is free to join His Kingdom Come and the Book Club is also free.

There's exciting news in Book Club.

Narda Poe has produced a colouring book of the verses used at the beginning of each chapter of The Creative Call.

The book comes in the form of a downloadable PDF which means you can choose what paper to print it on.   It's available to purchase in the HKC shop for just $9.

It's well worth buying even if you are not doing the book study.  Meditating on a verse whilst coloring it in and then learning it by heart is a great faith building exercise.

Fabric Book

Yesterday I went to a workshop at Ineke Berlyn's studio.  Last month I wrote about printing my fabric using Thermofax screens and dye.  This is one of the cloths I ended up with.

Yesterday I ripped it up into 7 inch squares.

I stamped on some scraps of fabric and added them to the pages.   This is going to be the cover of my book.

I also put some Bible verses on 4 of the pages.

And words and phrases on the rest of the pages.

This will be the back.

Now all I have to do is some machine stitching, some hand stitching and assemble the book!  Easy Peasy!

I can't promise when the book will be finished, but keep popping in and eventually you will see it.

Thanks for stopping by.
