Bible Journaling - Leviticus 15

Leviticus 15 deals with the very uncomfortable topic of bodily discharges. These could make a person unclean and people were warned not to touch such a person. With the knowledge we have of STD's these days, this chapter seems to be years ahead of its time, though I doubt that its first witnesses understood the value of the precautions as we do today. I decided to stick with the medical stickers that I had printed before and added some more laboratory stickers to this as well, for journaling this chapter. It would make me slightly uncomfortable to be more explicit with this chapter in my journaling.

The chapter looks like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I slip some protective sheets under the pages and paint it with Dala Acrylic Gesso to prevent bleeding through of mediums to other pages.

I spritz some water on the pages, once the gesso is dry, to dilute the ink I will be painting on top.

I pain the pages with Dala Acrylic Ink in Violet. The water dilutes the colour so that it is not so intense.

I have explained in detail in the preceding two chapters how I went about printing my own homemade stickers from images pulled off the internet. I will be using these two home-printed stickers on these two pages.

I fussy-cut around the images.

I then stick them down in the margins of my Bible and that completes this effortless layout.

Bible Journaling - Leviticus 14

Leviticus 14 deals with the treatment of skin diseases as well as contaminated houses. We are still talking about a community where people lived on top of each other and where diseases could potentially spread like wildfire. It was therefore important that these be handled in an appropriate manner. Today we are fortunate to have doctors and spcialists as well as specialist treatments for these ailments. I decided to once again print my own stickers from images found on the internet for my journaling purposes. It occurred to me that everyone may not be familiar with the steps required to do this and therefore a large part of this blog guides you step by step through the process of printing your own stickers at home and setting the computer and printer up to do so.

The chapter looks like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I slip protective covers underneath the pages and prepapre the paper with Dala Acrylic Gesso.

Once the gesso is dry, the pages look like this.

I spritz the paper with water to thin the ink that I will be painting on top of the pages, to dilute the colour intensity.

I paint the pages with Dala Acrylic Ink. I used Cyan colour.

I then use Google to find some images I would like to use in my Bible and download these by using the right click function on my mouse.

I will be printing these on Tower W120 labels. You will find the appropriate number on the white insert on the cover of the packaging.

Open MS Word to a New Document.

Click on the Mailings tab.

Click on the Labels button.

A menu opens up. Click on the Options button.

Open the dropdown menu for the Label Vendors. Scroll down to the one you will be using. I used Tower. Click on your vendor option.

Scroll down to the applicable Product Number and click on it to select it. Click on the OK button.

Now click on the button that says New Document.

A screen representing the labels you wish to print on will appear.

Select Insert in the ribbons.

Click on Pictures.

Find the picture you wish to insert on your computer. This should be in your Downloads folder, by default, unless you have saved it somewher else. Click on the first picture you wish to insert and then click on the Insert button.

Grab the inserted picture by the dots surrounding it and resize it, if necessary.

Once your document is set up, you can hit print. Make sure you load the printer correctly, though.

My printed sheet of stickers/labels.

I will be using these two small sticker sheets for Leviticus 14.

I fussy-cut around the images.

I then stick the printed stickers in the margins. My completed layout for this chapter.

Bible Journaling - Leviticus 13

Leviticus 13 deals with how the priests were to identify various skin diseases. As these could be contagious, it was necessary to quarentine an infected person until it could be established that they did not pose a risk of infection to the rest of the community. This could potentially be disastrous to a people who lived in such close proximity to each other, in such arid conditions. I decided to download a couple of pictures from the internet and then printed these on labels so that I could make my own stickers to go with this chapter.

The chapter looks like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I slip protective sheets under both pages and then I paint the pages with Dala Acrylic Gesso.

Once dry, the pages look like this.

I then pull some pictures off the internet that I would like to use.

I print this on label stickers.

MS Word is set up to work with all of the Tower labels and prodcuts and very simple to use.

I printed the 'sticker' sheet which I intended to use over the course of the next three chapters in my Bible.

I spritzed the pages with water.

I then paint the pages with Dala Acrylic Ink. The water thins the paint slightly, so that the colour is less intense. I used Sepia colour.

I cut the first stickers apart in two simple strips, as these listed various skin diseases.

The remainder of the stickers were fussy-cut from the label.

My completed layout.

Bible Journaling - Leviticus 11 & 12

Leviticus 11 deals with food, specifically what animals were to be considered clean to eat, and which ones were not. Chapter 12 deals with purification ceremonies to be performed after childbirth. I opted to focus on the food aspect of the first chapter for my journaling. I opted to decoupage a cheff onto my page and then I stencilled some more food symbols onto the remainder of the page.

Leviticus 11 and 12 look like this in the Inspire Praise Bible.

I have been given two bottles of Clear Gesso to test for use in Bible Journaling, by a local company who intends to produce and market it. I had already done extensive testing on both of these products and found it very suitable for journaling, with 'test sample 5' being slightly better than 'test sample 6.' I decided it was time to test these in the Bible on the thin paper. In the last jounal entry, I not only did the normal Bible Study and illustrations, but I also put test sample 6 to practical use. These two pages follow on the test pages and are accordingly also treated with Sample 6.

The Clear Gesso would eventually be marketed in these bottles and I was able to update the blog before it was published. It is being marketed as Dala Acrylic Gesso.

This is what the pages look like when the gesso is dry.

By the time I return to the pages, I have already done the previous chapter and my pages now look like this.

I colour the image in the right margin of the Inspire Praise Bible with some Neon and Metallic pens I have.

I spritz some water over the pages.

I then paint the damp pages with Dala Acrylic Ink. The water thins the ink so that the colour is slightly less vibrant. I am careful not to paint over my existing images or colouring as some inks can be reactivated with water.

I will be using one of the chefs on this serviette. I remove the backig paper from the serviette.

I cut out the chef I wish to use.

I cover the area where I wish the chef to go with Dala Acrylic Gesso.

I then lay the chef in place before painting over it with the Dala Acrylic Gesso.

I then choose the use the symbols on this stencil to stencil onto the page.

I use a sponge dauber to stencil Tim Holtz Distress ink onto the page.

The completed pages look like this.
