Glimpses of Jesus 49

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 continues with the prophecy in Micah 5 about the coming of Jesus.

I found a 12"x12" scrapbooking paper that I bought some years ago in the States and cut it to fit my journal.  Recently I had bought some wooden words and one of them was 'Peace'.  I painted the word white and stuck it onto the page.  I wrote the rest of it with a Stabilo-All pencil.

Art Cloth update

You may remember I shared about the Art Cloth earlier this month.  This was how the cloth was when I had washed it.

I recently attended the last day of the course.  When I got there everyone who had used the turquoise was talking about how the colour had washed out.  Very strange!

I used a quarter of a Michelle Ward stencil from her Gothic Collection to draw an outline to have made into a Thermofax screen.   I used the masked off stencil and the screen across the cloth.  I made myself a quarter circle mask so that I could work through it.

I used a crackle pattern thermofax screen through the quadrant mask with black fabric paint and then sponged through the mask with silver grey fabric paint.  I also used one of Ineke's lace thermofax screens.

When all the black and grey was dry I went back with some pearlised white with a touch of teal mixed in.

The finished painted and patterned cloth.

I'm going to put this on top of two layers of fabric and then machine it.  I was planning to machine straight lines between the circles.  However the photograph shows lines for squares so now I'm not sure which lines to machine.

What would you do?

Glimpses of Jesus 48

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 prophecy in Micah 5 about the coming of Jesus.

Still on my theme of keeping the creative response simple, I found a photograph of a mixed media page I had done and put the significant verses on the top.  I used Publisher again for this and printed out and stuck it into my journal.
