TMD: Honour week 3

Take Me Deeper is a weekly Bible Study from His Kingdom Come.  Each month we have a theme and the theme for July is Honour.

I wrote the prompts for this month with the aid of the series Rob Davey brought at Jubilee Church and a talk by Becky Webb on what it means to encounter the Kingdom of God like a child.   You can listen to Rob's Talks here.

Last week's theme was Cultivating Honour.  This week we are looking at Honouring God.

When I was making last week's pages I sprayed ink through a stencil and then cleaned the stencil onto the pages for this week.

I glued the bible pages onto the journal pages with gesso and put gesso on the whole page.  The ink didn't run as much as I thought it would.

I sprayed the pages with the Color Bloom sprays.  I sprayed some water and moved the pages to make the spray ink move.

I used Paperartsy Grunge Paste through a stencil to get the rays.   I printed out the words and coloured the paper with Distress Ink before glueing to the page.

I added some black and white lines and circles.

Thanks for stopping by.

I've started!

Remember this post about Rinda's Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt?

It's been 6 weeks since it started and it's only this week that I've managed to get out and look for things.  Of course I hadn't read the list before we went out - or taken a hard copy with me for that matter.  However I could read the blog post on my phone which helped.   We were visiting Melbourne Hall gardens so I thought I might find the columns.

Mmm.  Not so much.    I found a column of trees that formed an arch.

I found a column of Lime trees and their shadows.

I found three pools with fountains that you could at a pinch describe as a a column of fountains!

Then we moved on to visit the Staunton Harald estate.  And there were a plethora of columns - plus it turned out the instructions said 'architectural columns'.  Although landscape gardeners do talk about 'architectural planting'.  Here's a door with columns.

And round the corner was the front of the building with lots of columns.

And then as we walked down to the lake there were gate columns and their reflection.

Sadly all the lakes we saw were man-made rather than a natural body of water and whilst we paid to get in at a ticket booth I hadn't realised that was on the list.

Still, it's a start.  I can cross off #6 on the list.  Only another 20 to go!

Thanks for stopping by.

TMD: Honour week 2

Take Me Deeper is a weekly Bible Study from His Kingdom Come.  Each month we have a theme and the theme for July is Honour.

I wrote the prompts for this month with the aid of the series Rob Davey brought at Jubilee Church and a talk by Becky Webb on what it means to encounter the Kingdom of God like a child.   You can listen to Rob's Talks here.

Last week's theme was Independence v Dependence.  This week we are looking at Cultivating Honour.

I glued Bible pages to my journal using Gesso and then coated the wole page with gesso.  I used the Color Bloom sprays again to cover the pages.

I stamped some leaves with green Archival ink.

I stamped 2 onto paper and cut them out so I could cover up the ones already stamped so that I could stamp again.

By doing that the leaves you stamp next appear to be behind the ones you first stamped.

Then I did the same using flower stamps and orange Archival ink.

I coloured the flowers using Neocolor 1 crayons which are oil based.  I printed out the verse and glued it down.

Thanks for stopping by.
