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.
As you can see, my desk is looking colourful with some flowers I originally painted and then made some different colourways digitally. Also you can see a design I made for Psalm 23 - see inset - and if you look just behind the paintbrush and jar you can see a blue book. This is for a Journal Petite course I am doing.
The first stage of the course was to make backgrounds, for which I used Gelato crayons, just to use them up. the second stage was paint scraping with a credit type card. The pages felt very waxy and the paint didn't work well on it, so I decided to gesso all the pages. Having done that I was ready to do the paint scraping, but did I get that far? No, I decided to do the paint scraping over a printed outline of flowers like this.
Yes, I know they look nothing like it!
I used a small sponge roller over the stencil that I bought in The Range. Originally I was doing a lettering page, but I mucked it up so I cut out the lettering and made a page in my art journal.
I am trying to help someone start Bible journaling and I was trying to explain yesterday using Psalm 23 as an example. Then I thought it's easier to show her, so I have done a digital design, next I am going to do a hand lettering design and then printing out words and images and cutting them out.
Today is a full day, I have Bible group this morning and then I am visiting my niece in the afternoon, so I will catch up later x

I do really admire your skill with digital artworks, you always do something interesting and I wouldn’t have the first idea of where to start! The flowers are really lovely, they’d make a nice fabric lol!

I agree with Jan, you're a great digital artist . Have a creative week xx. Helen #2
I often scan and copy my Masterboards. I like to save them and re colour them, if you have the right program it's easy and so useful. When you give so much time to making them it can be difficult to just cut them up. Your flowers are lovely but I know what you mean about the Gelatos, they are waxy and I think that's why they didn't get used so much here. That's something else for the "Use it or Lose it " theme. Take care and happy woyww, Angela x11x
I was into digital art many years ago, for a short time, but ended up preferring to do things by hand. You are doing very well! The best thing about things not working out the way you thought they would is that you are learning! Great job on the journal page! Have a wonderful week, Lindart #15
Hi Angela, lovely work on today's post, wondered when saw Sheep and Shepherd if it was Ps 23, love the grow in grace of God verse too, wonderful background, beautiful colours and lettering. You're very imaginative. Praying all is well with you,
Happy belated WOYWW, Shaz in Oz.x 🙏🏻🤗
Wish I could do digi art like you do. I am on another group and they do lots of it and I am always in awe of what they, and you, can do.
I never got to grips with Gelatos and they are in my pile of art stuff to be given away.Persevere and don't give up like me.
Hugs, Neet 3 xx
