Lent Scripture Journal

Going back in the archives here

 to share a Lenten practice 

that appealed to me 

because of the simplicity.

Just a 6 by 81/2 blank spiral journal.

think I just had it on hand.

We were in the middle of an overall

 in the basement and my studio things

 were packed up and not too available.

It was the week after Lent 

and I felt I just needed to be the THE WORD.

This was pre-Pinterest so I just was working

 with my own creative flow here.

I started out reading the book of 

Corinthinans and simply adding in passages

 that were meaningful to me.

I made copies from my collection of 

Vintage Easter cards as a visual divina focus. 

 I used a basic circle image to draw- 

sometimes called a mandala.
Because of the connection to 
Hindu and Buddhist teachings
 we call this patterning a Circle Tangle.
It is simply a geometric repetitive pattern 

drawn in a circle shape.

 I wasn't practicing my lettering, 

or choosing any colors by 
keeping with the black ink pen.

I was focused on the Scripture.

Claiming it to heart.

What started out as a Lenten practice-

 kept right on going after Easter,

till I filled up the whole journal.

Still one of my favorite 

Lent practice experiments.

And for a bit of light-heartedness in Lent-
 here is the link for the YouTube video
 of this Lent Scripture Project-
 done in QuikStory.
