This appealed to me to do a Native American Face because I love to do different faces and I did try to keep to the gray tones in my drawing and my collage element is the Native American blanket over her shoulders. After she was finished, I thought that she looked like she was praying and this verse keep coming to my mind for her. I hope that you enjoy seeing her.<br />
Pia Rom who usually does the challenge over on Mix It Monthly has been chosen to do Paint Your Heart and Soul <a href="http://tinyurl.com/PiaromPYHAS2018" target="_blank">here.</a> Check it out if you'd like to take a course. It will have 24 artist involved.<br />

<br /></div>
I haven't posted in so long I had almost forgotten how to post! But I want to get started back into posting more often now. This drawing was done with the Song "Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble" in mind. The song has a line about "dancers who dance upon injustice". It is a worship song that we sing in our church. That phrase is not actually in the Bible but I do feel that God calls His people out to worship Him and to help those who are oppressed and feel the injustices in this world. <br />
So this is the dancer who came out of my mind. I hope you enjoy seeing her.<br />
You can here the song <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NlKAnTZE50" target="_blank">here</a> on You Tube if you want to hear it. <br />

I didn't want my pirate to be overly handsome. I wanted him to have a nose that might have been broken in a fight and I wanted him to look a little tough and concerned given the stormy seas that he is looking out on. Hope you enjoy seeing him!<br />

I have been thinking on it and meditating on it and the phrase "He shall be their peace" stood out to me. I am so glad that Christ is my peace! There is nothing better! I got to thinking and I remembered that I had an old retired Stampin Up stamp that shows Bethlehem! What could be better than to already have something that works for your Bible journaling! I used post it notes to mask off the areas that I did not want to be stamped on and for the star light that is shining down. I used distress ink for the colors. <br />

My friend, PJ at church has asked that we do some Bible journaling on Isaiah 11 and Isaiah 46. I found the drawing of the man on Pinterest and wanted to draw him for my journaling on Isaiah 46:9. I think Isaiah was trying to warn Judah that God was so displeased with their idol worship. They had completely forgotten God and they were the nation that was to bring the Savior to the world! They were so broken but through Isaiah, God reminded them that He was God and there was NONE like him! <br />
But isn't it just like God to use the broken to bring the Savior into the world. Isn't it amazing what Isaiah saw about the coming Savior so many years before He was born. And then isn't it amazing that we can come and adore Him now! Oh come let us adore him!<br />

Verses one and two stood out to me. At this time of the year I am especially thankful to our Lord since it is the season of Thanksgiving. We are so thankful to be in a new home near our children and grandson. We had a very sweet Thanksgiving with them this year and no one had to travel. What a blessing! When I am thankful, I think of old hymns to sing so this is my drawing for this week's challenge. I did see this on Pinterest and my drawing is very similar. The birds at the top are a stamp with a little of pen filling in. <br />

The sermon was on the power of worship and praise and song. At the end of the service, a man played the piano and we sang, "We exalt Thee". You could really feel the Spirit of God and no one wanted to leave. So here is my drawing for that.<br />

Her challenge word was "Remember". So I have been thinking about what to do for her challenge. Our pastor in our new church which is Awake church has challenge us to think of starting the day remembering God's love for us before we do anything else. So I have been trying to do this daily and it has made a big difference in my life and my attitudes. So that is the direction that I wanted to go. I love that my translation uses the word "Ponder". I think this word means that we should think carefully and remember what God has done. This is my drawing in my journaling Bible for this challenge.<br />

I read it and saw zodiac sign, fire and glitter. When I went back I realized that it was specific signs of the zodiac in the group of fire which are Leo, Sagittarius and Aries! But hopefully they will accept my Scorpio zodiac sign. I did a self portrait inspired by an article in September/October 2013 Somerset Studio entitled "The Loose Woman Series by Sue Pelletier. It is her series of paintings that embrace who you are - imperfections and all! So in my self portrait, I have a new tattoo of a scorpion and I am running on the very hot South Carolina beaches. That is where the fire element comes in. My bathing suit is done with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen for the glitter. This portrait will go into my good friend, Claudia's altered book which is "What Inspires You". Art inspires me and Sue's art inspired me to do this portrait. But I love looking at all kinds of art to get inspiration. That is one reason I like to do challenges and stretch myself to do more than I normally would. <br />

Busy, Busy! Although we are still in the process, I wanted to get back into the swim of things and do some art and saw that Mix It Monthly's theme is fish! I saw a video of how to draw Koi fish on You Tube several months ago and saved the video. I thought now was the time to try and draw that beautiful fish in my art journal. Here is what it turned out like. Hope you enjoy seeing it. It is a watercolor which is my favorite medium. Now I just need to learn to get my camera strap out of the way when I take pictures!<br />

Oh well, I hope that Linda enjoys the Winter scene that I created for her Nature Journal altered book. I hope that you enjoy seeing it too! The scenes are from Drawing Nature for the Absolute Beginner and they have step by step drawings for you to learn how to draw from nature. The waterfall scene is not a Winter scene in the book but I thought that I would make it one to go with my deer scene which was a winter scene in the book. It was fun to draw and not quite as hard as I imagined that it might be. That little cord is my camera cord that I took pictures of and didn't realize it! Duh!<br />

Mix it Monthly's theme is Circus and I wanted to draw some elephants in my art journal for it. 2016 is the last year that Ringling Brothers will have elephants in the circus. It is kind of sad but I am really glad for the elephants who will retire to Florida. I hope they enjoy their retirement!<br />
I never realized that elephants have so many wrinkles until I tried to draw them!<br />
I found out while commenting on posts for Mix It Monthly that there is another challenge <a href="http://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/a-fine-romance-is-new-challenge-at-tiots.html" target="_blank">here </a>on Try It Tuesday whose theme is romance and I thought that they might qualify for that too.Nancy Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10374425274874256736noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294157007281197636.post-70406922087703469472016-01-15T10:11:00.002-08:002016-01-15T10:18:04.945-08:00Ezekiel - dry bones and Altered NestI made a canvas with a skeleton to illustrate a passage in Ezekiel about dry bones and our art group wanted us to do an altered nest. The words on the painting say, "Thus says the Lord God to these bones, Behold I will cause breath to enter you and you shall live. And I will lay sinews upon you, and I will cause flesh to come upon you and you shall live and you shall know that I am the lord." ~Ezekiel 37:5-6.<br />
The nest in the tin is a real nest made out of our horses' mane and tail hair. We think it might be a hummingbird nest because it is so small and delicate. I did not alter the nest too much because it is so delicate. Everyone who sees these tiny creations find it hard to believe that the birds really did create it but they do and they blow out of our trees and we find them on the ground. I always try to save them because they are so pretty to me.<br />

But all the celebrations all calming down and I finally have time to do that today.<br />
The first gift is a sweet blue pair of earrings from Darlene in Ohio on a Christmas card.The second one is a calendar from Laurie in Iowa. The light above the calendar is reflected in the shiny surface of the calendar.<br />
Thanks to all the girls who did the swap. You made Christmas special at my house!<br />

One is a corner marker, another is a ribbon book marker and the 3rd is a paper clip marker which I cannot find due to the craziness of Christmas in my craft room. Hopefully it will turn up soon! I know I will enjoy these I my bedside table where I do most of my reading!<br />
<br />
Day 9 us a gorgeous white bracelet from Judy in Illinois. I will feel so pretty in this! Can't wait to wear it.<br />
<br />
Day 10 is an adorable little red cardinal to go onto my Christmas tree from Teresa in Utah . He looks awfully cute sitting in my tree. And Teresa also sent me a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) of a Christmas 4x4. Isn't she cute too? She will go into my little Christmas book that I received from Yooper in Florida last month in an anything goes swap. <br />
<br />
Only 2 more gifties to go and then it will be Christmas!<br />

It is not a Christmas item but we can do that so a cuff braclet is what I decided to do so that everyone can use them any time and not just at Christmas. <br />

Here are the gifties that I received for day 3 and 4. The first one is from Alice in Texas and is a cute little ornament done on canvas with my initial. the 2nd one is from Joan in Washington and it is a vintage bingo card Christmas hangie. I have it hanging on my glass front library shelves with some of the grandkids and kids next door's pictures.</div>

These are my first two gifties in group two. The first one is from Susan in Texas and I just think it is adorable!<br />
The second one is from Julie (also from Texas). I love the ornament and the writing pad is so thoughtful this time of year!<br />

I love a good fairy tale, don't you? Some of the pictures are funny because sometimes I cannot tell what they look like until I view them bigger on the computer. Blame it on my old eyes!<br />
<br />
The first few pictures are of my house with the Christmas decorations up and those are not the fairy tale. The fairy tale begins with the people pictures. With apologies to Jean and Brenda here goes – <br />
<br />
Nothing like an early party to make you get your decorating get done. This is a table I set up for Claudia and Martha & I was unsure if they would be able to make it to the party and sadly they were not able to come to the party due to health issues. So this table became a display table for our gifts and art we had made to show each other.<br />

Linda and Karen finally got the joke and they laughed about it too! Jean was only teasing and we really don't have new rules! Aren't you glad Brenda?Nancy Bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10374425274874256736noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294157007281197636.post-24052882933745701622015-12-03T16:12:00.003-08:002015-12-03T16:12:45.254-08:00Angel collage I did an angel for Mix It Monthly where the challenge is "What wings are For" and we were asked to use real feathers. I always see angels depicted as female but my angel is a male. When the Bible speaks of angels, they speak of male angels. I don't know if all angels are male or not but I wanted my angel to be a male who was in adoration. I used the yellow in the blue to represent light because in the Bible most of the time people see a bright light when they see angels. My depiction of him is not perfect but he certainly reminds me of the reason for the season and the Christ is to adored and worshiped especially at this time of the year when we celebrate His birth. I am also linking this to Art Journal Journey where the theme is collage with writing. I hope you enjoy seeing my angel and I wish you a very blessed and Happy Christmas.<br />

I was outside cutting grass and picked up leaves to draw in my journal. I haven't thought about it until a friend of mine was coming to our area to see the beautiful Autumn leaves. She doesn't get to see the seasons like we do here. So I really studied some of the leaves in my own yard and drew them so that I can enjoy them much longer than just a few days. I have many things and many people to be thankful for but today I am thankful for the beautiful scenery that the changing leaves provides for us in Autumn. <br />
What are you thankful for today? <br />

This is my friend, Claudia's altered book. She did textured wallpaper on the front of it and it really looks cool!</div>
Claudia's book is all about birds, butterflies and dragonflies. I did some hand carved stamps of Morning Glories and the orange butterfly is also a hand carved stamp. The dragonfly and the blue butterfly are hand drawn in the middle section. I hope you enjoy seeing my layout in her beautiful book.<br />
