From under the sideboard revisited

My plan, although not articulated to my blog readers, was to blog three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  You may have noticed there wasn't a post on Monday this week.

And there isn't really a new one for today.   I thought it would be good to revisit this post: From under the sideboard?

Perspective is all!  I can be really hard on myself.  Too hard some people tell me.   I'm working through some stuff to with that and it was good for me to go back to my post on perspective.

I hope you find it useful too.

Glimpses of Jesus 27

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 zeal for God's house in Psalm 69:1-36

I found this photo I had taken in South Carolina of dancers and printed it out.  I stuck the letters on and stuck the image into my journal.


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.

Thanks for stopping by.

ExTex 5

Regular readers will know that I am always signing up for things and never finishing!  In this post I told you I had signed up for Experimental Textiles with Kim Thittichai and last weekend was the first two-day session.

The first activity was to paint a journey on a long piece of paper using black acrylic paint and 5 different brush sizes.  You can find information about this in Kim's Book Experimental Textiles.

I think mine is a bit too airy fairy for what we needed to do next.

In close up


There are 11 of us in the group and here are all our journeys put together.

We then moved on to other design activities.



We traced sections from the journey and 2 of the other exercises to get 6 different designs.

Here are Helen and I working on our designs.

I've since worked on combinations of the designs including using the computer.




I'm not keen on any of the designs I've come up with but it was worth learning the technique.

Thanks for stopping by.
