Bible Journaling: Numbers 1 & 2

Numbers starts off with extensive lists. At first, we encounter the lists numbering the troops, per tribe. Then, in Chapter 2, we find an organization of the camp, specifying where each tribe were to set up camp. We again encounter the same leaders and numbers as in the Chapter 1, making this somewhat repetitive. One thing is certain, one can not help but come to the conclusion that the whole camp and the movement of this large number of people, was a very organized affair. Clearly, God took a keen interest in the detail, as further exploration of the book will continue to prove.

This is what Numbers 1 & 2 look like in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I treat the surface of the pages with Dala Clear Acrylic Gesso.

When the Gesso has dried, the pages look like this.

I colour the illuststration with Mont Marte Adult Colouring Markers.

I wet a pallette with watercolour pans.

I paint the background with watercolours and then wait for it to dry.

Discovering that the watercolours had washed out my markers ever so slightly, I decided to colour it again, but this time I also used a golden Metallic pen to add some highlights to the text.

I opted to use a clear border sticker that a friend had given me, on the opposite page in the wide margin.

I had to crop the sticker to make it fit.

I added some more stickers from the collection my friend had gifted me.

In no time at all, my page layout was complete.
