Finding Sanctuary 2

I had hoped to spend more time at the three day workshop on actually assembling things but I didn't get round to that until the last hour or so of day two.

I worked on a zigzag book.  I glued all the bits of collage items down and was able to add a few stitches to it later that evening at the hotel.

On the last day I collaged a series of 8 inch squares.  They could become a book or a hanging - I'm not sure yet.  What I do know is that they all look a bit flat and need some 'jushing' (I don't know how to spell that but say it out loud and you will know what I mean!)

And here we all are at the end of the workshop.

Glimpses of Jesus 28

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 Jesus being both King and Priest and that he is seated in heaven from Psalm 110:1-7

I found both the image of the throne and the crown in the clipart in Publisher and put them together.  I printed off the image and 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.

Finding Sanctuary 1

Last week I spent three days at The Bramble Patch on a workshop led by Hilary Beattie.  As ever Hilary was bouncing with enthusiasm - and this time sported bunny ears!

I really tried to pack lightly for the 3 days knowing that Hilary takes everything for us to use but still managed to have all this with me.  The sewing machine never left the car!

I painted papers and fabrics.  I used my specially made thermofax screens.  I dyed papers and fabrics and also worked into a sketchbook. I took the fabrics that I printed at Liske's Print & Dye class.

Some sketchbook pages - ready to be worked into

My friend Sandie was doing the workshop with me and she and her husband were staying in their camper van at a site on the side of the canal.  A family of ducks and ducklings visited them each day and one morning when I picked up Sandie there was this swan family.

On Friday I'll show you the things I started to make during the last day of the workshop.
