Inspiration/Motivation

Well life is crazy at the moment. I feel like I have no time to breathe! I'm now working more or less full time at work and have been made key holder which is exciting and also daunting but its great to feel more involved at work.
In my spare time I go to 2 church groups and now choir practise.
Its been hard to get back into the creative swing of things now that I am away from uni and my talented flat mates. Ive just been finding ways to combine my faith and my creativity together. Here's a few pictures of what I've been up to:
From "Still my Soul be Still" by Keith and Kristyn Getty.

Ephesians 4:26

From "How great is our God" by Chris Tomlin

Proverbs 11:16

From "Still my Soul be Still" by Keith and Kristyn Getty.
The image behind the writing is from Sir Walter Scott's house just outside of Galashiels.
I took the picture on a visit, its a keyhole to a wooden desk.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

Timothy 4:12
My unfinished piece "create in my a clean heart O God" Psalm 51:10


I think I need to move the O over and maybe re-do the "God".


Our church has started up a cafe open all day every Sunday to raise funds for the building. I decided to re-do the white board sign. 

My main project at the minute is to read the bible and find quotes that feel personal to me, I then draw out and doodle around them. I then scan into my laptop and then edit on photoshop and keep them to modern colour schemes. My idea was to make the bible more easily accessible for everyone and also to try and give a more pleasing and visual impact on these wise and holy words - which may have been un-noticed/not known about.
I went on a retreat a few months ago and my main charism was craftsmanship so I've been trying to use this gift as a way to bring others closer to God. I'm not sure if its working or if I am trying hard enough. I guess I can only try. Please leave a comment for any criticism =] Thank you.
