'A' Tangles

Another fun prompt in  Zentangle All Around. Use the first letter of either your first or last name. Draw it on your paper. Then tangle with only patterns that start with that letter. 
This is a piece of paper about 4" x 6" that I had pre-colored with some  Color Bloom sprays. I used the letter A from my first name and drew it on the paper. The tangles I used are: Ahh, aquafleur and avreal from  Zentangle HQ and my own airways and All Boxed Up. White highlights came from a gel pen. What a fun idea!

Proverbs 3:5 Completed, I Think

 In my last post I introduced you to Bible Journaling.

I have to tell you I was really uncomfortable

drawing in my Bible.

Hahaha! I've taken notes in my Bible for years, 

so it shouldn't have bothered me.

But it did.

This is what I showed you last post.

It was my very first attempt - 

the bare minimums but I was loving it!

So I plucked up the courage to continue.
The words are from a sticker sheet I purchased on the scrapbook aisle at Hobby Lobby. Everything else you see was drawn by hand with a Sharpie fine point pen. Color was added with a sparkly gelly roll pen,  Derwent Inktense Pencils and  a waterbrush. Highlights on the heart are from a white General's Charcoal pencil.

Bible Journaling

You may remember that a couple weeks ago I went to Stamp Fest and learned a lot of new things. One lady asked me if I had ever heard of Bible journaling. I had not, but I tucked the term away to pull out later. Earlier this week, a really nice lady started following my Instagram :

That nice lady is a Bible journaler. So I researched the same way I normally do. I stalked pinterest boards. She also told me about a facebook group called Documented Faith, where a lot of people are Bible journaling every day. And did you know - they make special Bibles to journal in. Mine came in the mail yesterday. $28.00 or so on Amazon.

This is the first little thing I did. (And I just realize I forgot to crop the pic.  Oh well.) I stayed little because I am seriously afraid of messing the whole thing up. As you can obviously see, I used a sticker because my hand writing is not wonderful. I will probably need to get over that and  just do it√.
So last night I reorganized my stamps. Wondering why I ever bought some of them, getting rid of those, keeping most of them. Wondering where I can go with this today.  I may go back and add more to this one. Add a little shading and more tangling. Hmmmm. 
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,  and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make straight your way.
