Melly's Hand Lettering Basics

It's a rainy day and I am all chored out!  I've been working relentlessly on etsy orders, preparing for the upcoming retreat this weekend in Oklahoma, and doing the domestic thing (which is not my thing at all, but necessary at this point.  No towels.)

So, it's time to take a breather and I thought I'd practice some lettering.  I'm headed to periscope to share this practice sheet with you and show you how it works.  I'll add the link to the scope on this post as soon as it's in the can.

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and notes of encouragement!  Let's letter!

June Journal of Faith Challenge- The Beatitudes



Introducing Silly Bee's Chickadees' Journals of Faith!  This month, we're studying The Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount as written in the Gospel of Matthew.

We will examine Matthew 5:3-10 in terms of Biblical lexicon.  Specifically, dissecting their Greek roots, how they relate to each other contextually, and create visual representations of the whole in contemporary application.

Whoa.  That's a whole lot of "huh?"  Basically, we're going to break apart the sentence, define the words, stick them back together (with glitter glue), and make pretty pages.  Dig?  Seriously, I'm not a linguistic or Biblical scholar, but I love to swim.  So, we're not going to dive into the deep end, we're just going to dunk ourselves under water with our eyes open.  Bowkay?  Here's the fun part: you select the beatitude and one creative technique and jump in!


All you need to participate is a blank journal/ notebook.  You can use one you have, or you can create one using original artwork by me!  Simply purchase the digital file linked here, print out in color, add blank pages, bind and trim!  If you prefer to purchase the bound journal, there is a listing for that as well.

The nine workshops will be broadcast live on Periscope- @sillybeeschick.  Periscope promises they'll be saved indefinitely, so if you miss one you can replay it and work on your own time.

See you June 6th on Periscope for Introduction to The Beatitudes 101!

I am a New Creation! - Krafty Kit Notebook

Hello, Chickadees!

The first Krafty Kit, the New Creation travelers journal broadcast was so fun! I really enjoyed the fellowship and creativity that came out of the afternoon of crafting.

If you purchased a kit and were unable to participate in the live workshop, you may now replay the scopes to complete your projects at your own time. If you are interested in purchasing a kit for this project, check back in April when I will list a few kits in my etsy store.

Enjoy!

Bible Journaling - Consider the Water Lilies



Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
-Psalm 46:10

When I think of stillness, water lilies come to mind. Specifically, one particular pond in the middle of the city. There is a restaurant in Houston with an impressive water lily pond. It's a sight to see-- both mesmerizing and calming. Sometimes if I am in the area, I stop by just to stand at the rail and gaze at the stillness.

The jewels of the pond, as they are called, are rooted in rich muddy soil in very quiet water. They require lots of sunlight to thrive, opening in the morning and closing at night. I like to think that we are like the water lily, "rooted and grounded in love" (Ephesians 3:17), with a peaceful countenance (Numbers 6:26) and unswerving, ultimate assurance (Hebrews 10:19-23), focused on the light (John 8:12).

Consider the water lily and be still.

2016 One Little Prefix!




Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. - Psalm 51:10
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. - Psalm 51:12

I finally did my focus word for 2016!  I looked it up in the dictionary and it IS in there!  Ok, it's a prefix, but hey I'm claiming it.

My one little prefix for 2016 is re.  I was trying to narrow down my word for a couple weeks and God just kept telling me "re".  I know!  OK, the words that kept coming to me were "renew" and "restore".  That's what I need for 2016.  I need to focus on God's grace and power to renew my joy and restore my soul.

So, check out the Periscope video (warning:  it's lonnnng) and follow along as I journal my OLP and chat about the 1940s!  P.S. Jump to about minute 20 to see the journaling action!
