    I love your video. I hope you don't let people that aren't fans of the biblical practice ideas dont ruin your spirit and drive. I just felt the need to say this. I wish the ones who have something to say against it would understand there are so many other ways they could incorporate what you said. Like copy fave quotes or something. ... thanks for the tips ☺

      True...not a Christian (so, no bible for me), but I can incorporate so much aside from just bible journaling. I could do famous (or the ones I like) quotes and if that’s not my cup of tea, there are still 9 left.

    from my experiences, i've had post offices just look at me funny when i have decorated mail. however, some post offices just love the creativity and encourage it from the usual envelopes and packages they get! as long as they're not messy or inappropriate i would assume they have no reason to reject it. :)

      also, as long as you have all the write information and it's neatly and clearly there!

    I love hand lettering scripture! It’s my favorite to practice! If I can write something a couple times, I memorize more quickly. This has helped me memorize a lot more scripture, including the gifts of the Spirit! ❤️

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! It's so helpful with memorization! Thanks for sharing!

    I love how you include the Bible into all this! 👍 It's a great way to spread the Gospel- through TH-cam! You are a genius.

    I have really enjoyed practicing my lettering! I'm not organized enough to do a bullet journal, but I will watch a show and practice by writing their names and/or quotes from the episode lol. I have been binge watching "always sunny" so it hasn't been the most "appropriate" phrases, but it definitely helps me practice various letter blends that I otherwise wouldn't practice.

    • @NaturallyChell
      @NaturallyChell 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Kate Trimue I practice by writing the character names from my favorite shows too!

    • @katiechisholm
      @katiechisholm 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      NaturallyChellsTV I'm also a teacher so I try to incorporate some of it on anchor charts lol. Also, flip-chart paper is the perfect texture for brush pens!

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a great idea too! Sometimes I don't think I'm organized enough for a bullet journal either Lol! That's why mine gets simpler and simpler!

    You got me on how you do your bible. I love it that you don’t want to cover everything up so you can still use it and read it. Keep it simple

    I have been teaching myself calligraphy for a long time, but these techniques have made me need to brush up and get even better. Thanks for your time and I love the scripture references.

  • @katiechisholm
    @katiechisholm 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Also, I want to thank you for your videos. I have been in to whimsical lettering for years and have wanted to learn modern calligraphy SO BAD but struggled with finding a tutorial that fit my learning style. Your videos are exactly what I've been looking for and I'm so excited to FINALLY be able to master this skill. My next goal is to perfect bounce lettering. I'm working on it but am not quite there just yet.

    I had no idea there was such a thing as Bible Journaling! Wow this is why I love art, so many things to learn from other artists and so many ways to fill your life with hand lettering art or any kind of art! Memorization is also an excellent idea, never thought of that! ^_______^b

  • @beccableeker8934

    Memorization. That is genius! I am in AWANA and we have to remember Bible verses. So, hand-lettering it benefits two things!! Oh wait... The verses are really long... EVEN BETTER!😁 okay, so... Thank you!!!

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Awesome! I used to memorize so much more scripture when I was younger and I'm SO glad I did because it's so hard to memorize now and I still remember so much of what I remembered when I was younger. It always pops into my head at the right time! Thanks for watching!

    Do you have a good bible journaling you like best? I've tried two kinds so far and they both bled through!

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I did a video on this! Let me find the link for you! I think if you're looking for a no-bleed solution, you might like the interleaved editions because they have an entire page for lettering, so it does bleed but there's no text on the back side. I show it in the video! Also, illustrated faith has a journaling Bible that I believe has really thick pages. I haven't tried it and it is pretty expensive, but might be a good option! Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/hVI4LXy74_M/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching!

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Aw yay! I almost cut that part out because it got so off centered! But I figured that's what practice is all about... not perfect! Thanks so much for watching!

  • @havasmama05
    @havasmama05 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use an embossing pen! I haven't shared much about them because I'm still on the hunt for the perfect one but I will be doing a video about this soon! Thanks for watching!

  • @katangel3413
    @katangel3413 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi! I loved this video! I found myself relating to how you practice, because I do some of this this to practice myself. I definitely do card and envelope art the most. My envelopes become very artsy, as long as the address is legible and it has the correct postage I haven't had a problem so far.

      Thank you so much! The specific one I have is from amazon (the link is here: amzn.to/2IVN0WS - affiliate link). But if you search "Bullet Journal Ruler" on amazon you will find a bunch! I think this is a link for just a single one, I got the double pack but depending on which parts of the ruler you want you might just need one (amzn.to/2GZFo9C - affiliate link). I got them after I spent way too long drawing tiny little circles that didn't look even! Ha - it is definitely a time saver! Thanks for watching!

      Hello! It's from paperinkarts.com and it's called a Dinky Dip. They have different sizes (and I wish I would have bought a ton more containers for multiple colors). And the Bible is the She Reads Truth Bible. It is a journaling Bible that has art in it and some other helpful things like color coding and timelines. You can see more of it on the @shereadstruth Instagram page! Thanks for watching!
