What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday #13

I'm busy preparing to share the Word and illustrated Bible journaling at a mini-retreat this Saturday, so I have lots of journaling bits & pieces on my desk today. I snapped this photo after completing a sample page. My next step is to straighten everything up, but that will have to wait for the morning!


I'll be sharing about serving the Lord in our everyday lives and being salt & light in the world, so I spent time meditating on Matthew 5:14-16 as I created this illustration.


I used a One & Done Line Art Trasfer Sheet and graphite paper to get the world illustration on my page first, then outlined the image with Micron pens. I added the blue and green with Gelatos. I cut the Texas outline from a piece of Texas-themed patterned paper and adhered it in North America - yes, I realize it's a little out of proportion, but y'all know everything's bigger in Texas! The yellow light beams were created with Gelatos, also, with a very pale yellow colored pencil in between (although the background still looks a little white in the photo).


I added journaling and the stamped sentiment to complete this page and am looking forward to sharing ideas for letting our light shine at the upcoming retreat.

Joining in very late today with Julia at Stamping Ground for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. What's on your workdesk this week?

  1. This looks much more like my desk when I'm in the midst of a project! Nonetheless, I think your desk is still more organized; sometimes I have piles to look through to find what I want!
