Prompt 2 .. finally!

I apologize for how long this 2nd prompt has taken me, but here we go. Here is my second spread: Names of God
1. First gesso a 2 page spread

2. Colour the backgrounds before, after or during the process of applying the names.

3. Check out a concordance or at this website for a sampling of names of God. Then choose some of the names that have a special meaning to you. Then, either handwrite the names you choose over the pages and/or use stick or rub-on letters to do it. I used all three of these methods.


I like to colour in between the spirals

As you work on these pages, contemplate the significance of God's names. Upload photos of your pages to our Joy Journal Yahoo group site
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/joyjournals/
Please leave comments on the site, and let's get to know each other a little bit.

These are the names of God that I used on my pages.
1. Yahweh "I Am"
2. El Shaddai "God, all Sufficient"
3. Yahweh-Jireh "God will Provide"
4. Yeshua (Jesus) "Saviour"
5. Yahweh Shalom "God is Peace"
6. King of kings
7. Alpha & Omega "Beginning & End"

By the way, I would like to put some blog and/or website addresses for all the participants of Joy Journals on this blog, so we can visit each other's site. Also, please add your contact info and "About me" under the Database on the Yahoo Group. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!

Joy Journal's new space is here

Thank you for your patience, as we switch from Weblog to this blog. Weblog was very clunky and not that user friendly. And since I've been using Blogger "forever" I just feel more comfortable here.

It's been quite a while since I posted the first prompt (My Name) ~ life has gotten a bit crazy in the last while ~ but today I'm working on the next prompt and plan to have it posted for you by today or tomorrow.

Hope you're all doing well, and I'm looking forward to seeing all your upcoming pages. Remember you can post your ART at our Yahoo group site:
http://ca.groups.yahoo.com/group/joyjournals/

I will likely make this blog public and keep the Yahoo group private for the participants.
