Word Theme Journals

A single word can be a beginning of a beautiful artful and mixed media journey. Here are some of my themed journals. I hope you enjoy them and are inspired to venture into expressing your unique creative style focusing on a theme. The journals included here are done on watercolor paper using mixed media, waterproof pen, fluid acrylic paint, collage. The journals included here are the themes of:

Identity - Faith - Hope - Shalom - Gratitude - Word of the Year

Identity Journal

This journal is about my identity in Christ. The journal and content were prompted by an art journal challenge created by Bernice Hopper based on messages about Identity given by Rob Davey, pastor at Solihull Church, UK.

Faith Journal

This journal is my statement of faith as a personal walk expressed in color, shapes, symbols and words.

Hope Journal

This journal was done to bring hope and also taught as a series of e-courses, now retired

Shalom Journal

This Shalom journal, made in a spiral watercolor journal, was made during a time when I was seeking deeper wholeness and peace. Part of my process is doing Word studies, looking up Scripture, meaningful quotes, and meditating on those things as I write and express myself artistically.

Word of the Year Accordion Journal

This journal actually covers the words of a few years. I usually include my Word theme of the year in my Calendar ~ Everyday journal. This journal is an added art journal that featured my words that seemed to flow into one another with imagery that is meaningful and symbolic to me. It was really fun making the accordion journal come out of the repurposed old hymnal cover.

Gratitude Journal

This Gratitude journal was the first one I did of this kind in a Thanksgiving challenge led by Bernice Hopper, An Attitude of Gratitude.
