Bible Journaling - Exodus 38

In Exodus 38, the building of the tabernacle and its utensils are continued, The chapter ends with a concise inventory of what was used in the building process. I have not done much in the form of writing yet in my journaling process and decided to focus on this for today's blog. I am still looking for easy ways to journal, that anyone can do, regardless of artistic talent, or the lack thereof.


Exodus 38 looks like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.


I seal the pages with Zellen Clear Gesso.


The pages look like this once the gesso is dry.


I slip protective sheets under the pages to protect the rest of the Bible.


I will be using Dala Acrylic Ink on these two pages.


I mist the pages with water, to make the colour of the ink less intense once I paint it on.


Then I paint my pages with the ink.


I will be stamping the letters onto the pages with Crystal Craft Ink.


I use clear stamps so that I can see what I am doing.


Once I have stamped the word 'INVENTORY', i find some stamps to decorate the page.


The decorations must not everwhelm this page.


I will use a fountain pen to write the lists of inventory down with.


My first list is of the materials used. My pen is a black Olika.


I make bullets for my lists, using Liquid Drops 3D Pearls.


Next I make a list of the articles that were made.


Again I use 3D Pearls for bullets.


The last list is of the artisans involved in the process.


I then stamp some decorations onto the page.


I use Mont Marte and Sharpie markers to colour the words. These colours repeat the colours of the 3D Pearls I used.


The completed layout.
