Bible Marginalia-#66
As I spend more time looking
for ways to make Bible Journaling "doable",
and cost effective for people,
I am always on the lookout
for regular old household items
to include as supplies.
From years as a scrapbooker-
one of the jargon words
has always been "archival".
This is concern over the acid level,
and lasting qualities of ink, supplies, and paper.
I have not seen much chatter about this
in the Bible journaling community.
But, I think there is the thought
of faith art and heart
to be handed to the next generation.
That said- magazines are not archival.
Magazine cut outs are one of the easily found
items that I have been using for
tangle prayer cards and my journaling stash.
Art journalers have used this for years.
In this post daughter, Jessica, shares her experiments
with magazines as a Bible journaling supply.

I keep cut out shapes in a ziplock
Baggie ready to go for journaling.
Magazines are a great resource.
They are often in our home- FREE.
Thin paper does not add a lot of bulk to pages.
The bright, vivid colors are hard
to duplicate with other media.
Works well to integrate with other media.
Adds a modern look to pages.
ADDS TEXTURE.
You simple look for color combos
and TEXTURES that are pleasing
and cut out.
When taken out of context,
they are no longer- rugs, pillows,
placemats, duvets and chairs.
And isn't that a bit of what
Bible Journaling is?
Reading the whole part of Scripture
and focusing on a few words-
giving them new dimensions-
so that we see something-
we did not see before.
