ExTex session 2

Our second session of ExTex was all about printing blocks.

We made blocks with sticky back foam on coreboard from the designs we had found in the work we did in the first session.

This is Kim's photo of me making my blocks.

These are my blocks looking 'yummy' after printing with them!   I made negative and postives and mirror images of two of my designs.

Another photo by Kim of me printing with my block.

These are photos of mmy work laid out for the show and tell at the end of the two days.

We cleaned our block on wet wipes and here are some of the results.  I like some of these better than the papers and fabrics I printed.

Glimpses of Jesus 32

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 the marriage feast in Song of Songs 2:4   Simom links this to the the marriage supper of the Lamb in Reveleation 19:9

I used a photo from my son's UK wedding party of a table laid for a dinner party.  I added the verse from Revelation using Publisher.

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.

Rust & Decay

Later in the year I am attending a workshop called The Poetry of Decay at The Bramble Patch.  I have no idea what photographic inspiration I will need for that but during our trip to Suffolk and Essex I took the opportunity to take lots of photographs of rust and decay.  107 actually.  However rest assured I'm not sharing all of them here.

There were lots of chains and decaying boats - so here are a few of the photos without explanation.

Decay

 

And my favourite - can you guess why?

And if you want to indulge yourself in rust and decay here's my Pinterest board.
