A New Name

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

My mind is still meditating on and expanding my study on names, (based on my previous Bible Journaling page for the Great Shepherd & His sheep.) Thinking about how God calls me by name. How I know and hear His voice and follow it. To go a step deeper, to the name He gives me. John tells us, in Revelation 2:17, that overcomers in Christ have a new name, given by God. “To the one who conquers, I will give … a white stone, and on the stone a new name is inscribed that no one knows except the one… Continue reading →

Independence 250–Mixed Media

America’s Semi-QuinCenntinial is tomorrow! It’s a big deal! Let’s celebrate! And of course, what better way to commemorate than to get into my creative studio and make some mixed media art! With this being such a huge thing to commemorate, I was really disappointed, that for our nation’s 250th birthday there were very minimal creative supplies produced, and very hard to find those few. I was expecting to see my creative feeds filled with makes and tutorials. Pretty darn near crickets. When I searched to find others that I don’t follow, results were from many years past. I don’t want… Continue reading →

Are you still on track with your 100 Days project? I’m still creating a Layer-A-Day in Mixed Media, and loving my slow and steady projects. As I said in the beginning, I won’t be posting every day, every step, or even every project. But I’m popping back in today with another completed make. This week’s is for my wall, not in a journal. Thursday, I changed my seasonal home decor. Valentine’s came down, and Spring/Resurrection went up. The last few days I’ve been working on a small wall Faith+Art piece, specifically for “such a time as this”. I finished it… Continue reading →

Day 6

Day 6—100 Days of Creativity. I love color and design! But I also love words! And as a writer, most of my art makes include words. My journal page this week is no exception, so my Layer a Day creativity for #The100DayProject today was designing my words, printing, cutting, inking the edges—and while I was at it, inking the edges of of the page itself, too. Simple layers each day, but it all comes together as a meaningful and beautiful page. I’ll get my pieces glued on and show the finished page tomorrow. My other make for today was HTV….

Day 5

Day Five—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  Today’s #LayerADay proves my point that creativity can fit into very busy lives. Everyone can find time to be creative. The 100 Day Project is about keeping it short daily, so you can be consistent. This layer couldn’t have taken less time. Not even the recommended no more than 5-10 minutes. Literally just one. But even something so small can pack a powerful punch. After yesterday’s stamping, I questioned if I was done with my background for this art journal page. I decided No, it needs a bit of sparkle!… Continue reading →

Day Four—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  My Layer a Day creating continues. Each layer in mixed media, each process and technique adds depth and interest to your project. Today’s layers on my background were stamping, Script writing and splatters. What did you create today?

Day Three—of 100 Days of Creativity, (my makes for #The100DayProject.)  Today’s creativity was more stenciling, adding another layer to my background. This Flourish stenciled in white paint brightened up some areas. Just a few minutes a day makes a real difference—in your creativity and your life. What did you make today?
