BIBLE JOURNAL #12

Hello blogging friends!  What a glorious week we have had here in NC! Well, we did have some terrible storms, but the days have been beautiful. Any way, getting on with this post, I love this verse and wanted to share it with you this week:

^“

²⁸ “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)

Since I am now retired, I find I finally have time to explore things I have always wanted to do. I never felt I could draw. As recently as Christmas, I was telling my friend I cannot draw. Well, I started my Bible journal and started seeing such beautiful drawings. I became interested in Zentangle and I believe God led me to this art form to use in my journal! I hope to look back at the end of the year and see my growth in God and art. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Have a blessed Sunday!

ZENTANGLE INSPIRED ART #1

Hello friends! Today, I am sharing a piece of Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) that I just finished. This is my first one, so I’m excited to share it.

 

 

I have been seeing such beautiful gems at Wholehearted Creations FaceBook page and wanted to give it a try. You will be seeing more of those! The dangles were inspired by Joanne Fink at Zenspirations® Create, Color, Pattern, Play! Joanne does gorgeous drawings and incredible lettering. I’m still working on that!

Well that is it for today. I would love to hear what you think of my attempt at ZIA! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

ZENTANGLE THANK YOU

Hello blogging friends!  I’m popping in to share a hand drawn, and hand lettered card that I made for a neighbor.

^“

I have been making cards for a long time, but my dream has always been to do the entire card by hand with no stamps. For this card I drew everything and hand wrote the sentiment. It is colored with Copics.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Please take a second to let me you were here!

Happy Crafting!
