Not much change on my desk for this week,
except that I've discovered I can use my drawers
(on the right) for drying canvases!
I put scraps of cardstock on them,
then covered it up with wall putty.
Then I painted a first layer of acrylic on it.
This is how it looks so far.
I'm still going to add more colors and play around
with it, using stencils, and bottle caps, bubble wrap, etc.
On my journal today is the story of how
Jesus was not able to do any miracles
when He visited his hometown of Nazareth.
The people there dismissed him by saying,
"Isn't He the son of Mary?
Is He not the carpenter?"
We too can dismiss Him as
just another prophet,
or wise man,
or good man.
Frederick Buechner said that miracles
do not evoke faith
so much as FAITH evokes miracles!
Yesterday my reading was about the lady who
had been sick for a very long time.
She went through the crowd to touch
Jesus' cloak.
Jesus said, "Daughter, your faith has saved you,"
and she was healed.

Beautiful paintings.
ReplyDeleteI like how you are drying your canvases, but I LOVE those backgrounds. They are superb. Of course, your journal is always fun to see, too. Happy WOYWW and drop by if you are interested in taking my free altered book classes. I'm # 30 this week.

...thats a very busy desk and lots of work in progress...great use of your draws as drying ledges!...have a wonderful day...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteLovely, colourful canvasses - and a fab way to dry them!! LOL! That was stroke of genius, no huge drying racks, when the canvasses are dry, push the drawers back in - brilliant idea :)

I use my drawers as an extension of my work space, I cover it in a piece of board and put the bits and bobs I need there off my work surface as I go. Great drying racks!
ReplyDeleteLove your creations!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!
Very nice paintings. I one day, a couple of years ago, had a sudden urge to paint and painted a canvas that now is in my bedroom. I've never done another even though I loved it. Seeing your art makes me want to create again!
ReplyDeletewow. very nice art works. you really have been blessed with a talent and you're using it for God's glory. amen :)
ReplyDeleteI'm attempting to get around everyone's woyww posts this week (a new one for me!) I don't usually have time to get round everyone.
ReplyDeleteBut I haven't done my own post yet - it'll have to wait til I get home from work this evening.

Drawers are far more useful than just for storing things in aren't they. I use mine for all sorts. You certainly have lots of canvases drying there.

Hi Patsy, great method of drying your canvases you've worked out for yourself - necessity, they say, is the mother of invention :) Hope you have a wonderful week. Elizabeth x #78
ReplyDeleteNice way to dry canvas. I am finding new and creative workspaces all the time lately.
ReplyDeleteThat reading was also mine yesterday, so I am sure now that God is confirming a promise that my friend . Cindy, will be healed.
As always such an honour to visit your blog.
Happy WOYWW
Happy WOYWW, here's hoping the commenting is easier this week! Love your canvas, the effect is lovely.

Why is it that those closest to us don't see what God sees in us? - Like always, I so love your art!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Patey, double use drawers...as son as the picture loaded, I knew what you were doing, brilliant, now you're going to have loads of projects on the go at once!
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW, your projects are amazing and great use of the drawers, TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic use of your drawers. I always end up using the floor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your new drying rack. I can't wait to see what ends up on your canvases. More great journal entries.
ReplyDeleteNow why did I not think of using open drawers lol ...love your canvas backgrounds
ReplyDeleteGreat idea of using the drawers. I have used them to put something on but never thought of using them to dry things. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLovely work as always and wonderful words too.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #1512 xx
Your artwork is fantastic! Great idea about using your drawers as drying racks.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling a bit discouraged about my healthy journey this year the last few days. Thanks for the encouragement to have faith!
ReplyDeleteAppreciate your sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood idea about using the open drawers - the trouble is that I already use mine to rest other stuff on. One of these days the extra weight will tip them over. Thank you for your visit and congratulations. I use my Kindle as a library, so I can carry all my favourite books with me. I do read new boos, but I also find it relaxing to re read my favourite books. I tend to speed read anyway, and always find something new when I re read books. xx Maggie #112
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy - I just love seeing you over on my link up. Your blog is always so full of colour and wisdom. Great post and great art.
ReplyDeleteGod bless
