Beginning my scripture journal...

I've been procrastinating on beginning this journal for a while. I made one false start, trying to gesso the text pages, then realizing I didn't have the right paints to work on that surface. Now I'm gluing a couple of text pages together, then gluing watercolor paper on top of that. Now I can just paint with watercolors and use pen, which is what I prefer. Maybe later I'll try acrylics, but for this journal I'll go this direction.

I'm planning to write a theme word, such as Salvation shown here, on each two page spread, then paint some blocks of watercolor. When the paint dries I will write scriptures and thoughts in pen. I may do a few drawings as well. On this page in the upper right where you see a peach colored area I'm going to do a sketch of Calvary. In the pink area I'll write a scripture. I look forward to filling in these pages with scriptures I want to remember. My challenge will be narrowing down the scriptures to a pithy few!

It's SUNNY! Time to get ready for work. I'm looking forward to Monday when I can spend the whole day on art and other delights! :D

Have a great day filled with shalom!
