Bible Journaling with Rhonda Kirk-Dasiuk

Bible Journal page by Mackenzie Kirk-Dasiuk 

Bible Journaling with Rhonda Kirk-Dasiuk

Wednesday, March 16th (3rd Wednesday of each month)

7:00 - 9:00 pm

$5.00

Requirements: you & no previous experience

What is Bible Journaling? Prayer through colour, design, ribbon, whatever speaks to you. You can use your existing Bible, or buy one specifically for journaling in. A journalling bible has a slighter heavier weight to the paper as well as a blank column down each side of the scripture.  This gives you additional white space & a bit more room to pray your inspirational words, verses, colour.

I have included a basic list of supplies, and items used for this particular page & a simple basic grab & go bag.

Items used for the example shown:
-Journaling Bible (or colouring book, calendar)
-distress ink of your choice (Mackenzie used 4 colours)
-your favourite stencil 
-clear gesso
-paint brush
-heat gun

The basics/grab & go bag:
-clear gesso
-light molding paste
-stencils
-paint brush/pallet knife
-water cup
-paper towel/wipes
-scissors
-adhesive-gel medium matte, Scor-Tape
-paints, ink or your favorites to create with:)
-pencil/ruler
-fine tip markers, stamps, stencils

If you're not familiar with some of these items don't worry we'll cover how to use them all in this and future gatherings.
