Bible Journaling: Keep on Knocking

I’ve tried another bible journaling experiment – this time using an image transfer technique. The text and image are printed on a laser printer, and the toner is essentially glued to the page and the paper is taken off. The colouring behind the text is acrylic paint, dabbed on and off with a baby wipe. A little tweaking with coloured pencils and it’s turned out ok, I think.

Things I learnt

Bible pages are thin, but surprisingly robust, and benefit from regular drying in between techniques and layers to restrengthen them
Image transfer worked! And it doesn’t have the bulk that a stuck-in image would have done
Polychromos pencils blend well when used over acrylic paint – a quick rub with a finger, and they smudged beautifully.
