Be still

I want to share with you all s fun piece I woke up thinking about.

Do you want a bit of a back story?

Well here goes.

A number of months ago I painted and sanded some pieces of wood.

I had hoped to piece them together to make a sign.

Alas that never happened, and the pieces ended up stacked in the garage under a shelf.

Two days ago my daily bible verse was 

The lord will fight for you, you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14.

Wow talk about speaking directly yo my soul.

I needed those words like I need water.

This morning I woke up thinking about that verse,

And how I could bring them into my home.

So.... I stenciled and hand painted them onto those old pieces of weathered wood.
I've never attempted this sort of project before, so it's certainly new to me! 

Wow I was blown away by how quickly this went together,

And I'm loving the end result.

I hope today finds you being still, I'm hearing so much more from the lord when I stop all the chatter.

Mixed media: new to you

12 tags of 2015: January

I've been in a mixed media frenzy lately!

I have paint all over myself, and all over my studio.

If you read my post on Sunday you know that I've started a new journal, and I'll be 

doing Documented Life and Documented Faith.

Well I also want to do the 12 tags of 2015 that Tim Holtz posts every month.

It's a good chance to maybe try out some new product, and it's always a chance to do something new.

I love that he usually shows us a new technique,

and this year I'm going to attempt to teach his tag to my Meet up group!

Sooooo without further adieu, here is my take. 

And here's a close up of the twenty and the 15.  

MMMM look at all that painted goodness!

And glittery too! 

Finally i had to share this pic, I took it when I was glittering up my 5. 

Of course now I have glitter everywhere 

including the Living Room floor, and my dog's head,

but that's the fun of it isn't it?? 

Anything but a card new beginnings

Hello bloggers! I know its been a while. Today a brand spankin new challenge is up at anything but a card challenge. 

I have decided to try a weekly prompt that will challenge me both artistically and spiritually. So I'll be working with the documented life and documented faith projects.  For this week I decorated the cover of my journal a bit. I tend to work organically, so this may change, but I'm certainly excited about a new journal and a new beginning. Please come along and join me?
