Welcome to Crafting With Jack and What’s On Your Workdesk Wednesday, a day when we link up to Sarah's Craftshed and have a look to see what everyone has been doing.
This is my first Bible Quilt project. I have participating at JoDitt's new site https://www.skool.com/fruitful-creativity, the theme for March is Sowing and Reaping.
I did another design and added watercolour, however I had a few problems because I used a rubber and the surface looked messy with water colour. So I turned into a digital design, both above and below.
I am not sure what text will look like against the colour, but I thought I would give it a go.
I watched a tutorial on embossing card with a scoreboard. Afterwards I rubbed it with ink. You can see it was a bit hit and miss on the vertical scoring, it being "underneath" the horizontal. I used some brush pens and then added some gesso to knock back the colour.
Yesterday I threw away those expensive natural watercolour paints I bought last year, an expensive mistake. I am also giving my Hunkydory brush pens to my grandchildren. I had another go with them yesterday and I don't like them! I tried them on glass and then spraying them with water, smooshing? I used Hunkydory InkMe tags to pick up the colour, but I may have used too much water as it wasn't very successful as far as the card was concerned!
My Apple Pencil is dead! I didn't realize it was important to keep them charged! I have ordered one from Amazon, not Apple.
I have actually made a plan of crafts to do, I am hoping it will help me be a little more organized. I actually finished an stacked envelope journal that has been waiting nearly a year to be finished!
I am going yo Bible Group this morning so will catch up later x

I have never heard of an Apple Pencil let alone not knowing that it had to be kept charged! You’re a very proficient techy crafter aren’t you? What a shame about the natural watercolours, I remember you saying at the time that they weren’t as good as you’d hoped. Not everything goes to plan…I’ve bought craft stuff and then regretted it!

Super Bible Quilts. I had Bible Group too this morning we did The Widow of Zarepheth. Leader was amazed that I'd done this woman of the Bible at the conference as there was so little in the Bible but we had a productive time. Hugs bj#2
No idea what an apple pencil is. Loving the bible quilts, great idea. I can understand you getting rid of some stuff, it's crazy what we keep when we don't even like them....what am I saying I'm just as bad! Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x10x
Back again. I believe the technique of ink lifting is referred to as Smooshing where as Smooching is when a couple are kissing and cuddling. Hope that answers your question. Pleased to hear Dolly is better too. Hugs Angela xxx
So sorry your pens did not work out for you! I like your Bible Quilt. Your design is nice too! I like the colors. Enjoy your Bible group!
Hugz,

Sorry to hear about your problems with the various items. Good to see your pages. Happy WOYWW! Susan #19
I hope you disposed of the unwanted paints to someone who might use them? That's what I plan to do because like you I have no idea how to go about taking photos and advertising my unwanted but much loved stuff.
Hugs, Neet xx
Love that second design for the Bible quilting Angela. Hope someone else makes good use of those brush pens. You are so clever with your digital crafting! Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
HI! It's sad that you had to throw away your expensive paints☹️I hope your grandkids enjoy the markers! Lots of fun experimentation happening! Have a great week, Lindart #17
Thanks for the tip; I’ll keep my digital pencil charged. Sorry you had to throw away expensive natural paints. What brand were they? I use A. Gallo natural watercolours, which are free from lead, mercury, cobalt and cadmium and I love them. You’ve done some interesting experiments this week.
Have a good week
Hugs

aah the joys of crafting tech and stash, I agree it can be difficult to find a product that just works for you, fair play for trying them again. Must admit I tend to use solid watercolours rather than ones in tubes, but thats mainly as I sketch on the go so easier for me.

Gosh Angela, I run my Apple Pencil down till it is out of charge and then recharge it, I bought a cheap desktop charger because sticking it in the charge hole on my phone or iPad was inconvenient, I aghast that you've had to give up on yours, it's a great little tool isn't it. I'm loving the now digital design for the quilt project, I think it'll work beautifully with text over it.
Hi Angela.
Bummers on the pitched crafting supplies. They weren't expensive mistakes but lessons learned.
Thanks for the tip on the pencil. I seldom use mine. I'll get that out tomorrow and work with it.
Creative Blessings ~ Kelly #16
