[@64MARIAJOAO]

Hi! Love your bible decoration. May I use some of your drawings to decor my bible? I'm starting bible journaling and would like to use lovey drawings and yours are!

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

I have no problem with you using my drawings for personal use Maria!

[@timothymathetes]

Thanks for sharing, ADEBO (I am Tim's wife)

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

Thanks for watching!

[@YreldaFernandez]

I'm a new subscriber and I also love reading my Bibles I have a world Bible school study edition Bible and a catholic life Bible can I write in them with a pompom pen or with a regular pencil or a regular pen 🖊 ❤😊

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

I am not sure what a pompom pen. I test whatever pen or pencil I use to ensure they do not bleed through to the other side of the page before I write on too many pages. Do a small test first.

[@s.annehancock730]

This is just lovely. Do you share what art tools you use?

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

I have not done a video about that but I will certainly consider doing one in the future Anne, that is a good idea.

[@anneshirleyduncan]

Ty

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

You're welcome.

[@jillzy1182]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful illustrations & creative style. I’ve wanted to try this, but despite the Bible I purchased on Amazon being advertised for Bible art journaling, the pages were so incredibly thin. Which manufacturer makes your Bible? Thx

[@marysaraalvarez3856]

Hello, jillzy, I am in the process of sending a journal Bible to my sister for her birthday, and I found a couple of places for you to check out. Christian Art Publishers sells a " Note Taking Bible." and Thomas Nelson sells a "journal, the Word Bible." Google it, and good luck. God's blessings to you and your family. 😉💟

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

My Bible pages are terribly thin also. You just have to be very careful what you use to decorate Jill. My Bible is a King James Version, Personal Reflections Edition published by Barbour Bibles.

[@sherry1867]

It is beautiful, but I would be soo distracted when reading. Lol

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

Yes that can be a problem. I now have one Bible for study and the other for journaling.

[@nancylongphee8187]

I am brand new to Bible journalling, however I've been doing multimedia journalling for sometime. Thank you for sharing. I have a quick question I noticed you have washy tape on the very top of every page that you have done, are you doing this for the stability of the page? Thank you again

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

It does make the page more stable but I originally did it to mark which pages I had decorated. Also some pages tore when I repeatedly turned to them to show people so the tape protected the edges from tearing also.

[@Clynn57]

Is there a water color (brand) that doesn’t bleed through the page? It would seem to me that with all that water they’d all soak through. I’m a newbie. 😁

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

I use watercolour pencils to colour in dry and then add the slightest amount of water on a brush to blend to reduce the chance of it bleeding into the page. There is no guarantee but if careful it works. Whatever you colour with, if it is dry it is unlikely to bleed like colouring pencils, but if you add water then you have to be extremely careful. The brand will probably not make a huge difference.

[@1958shiner]

Do I need to prep the Bible paper before doing watercolor, etc?

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

Although I believe I have seen other youtubers do that, I have never found it necessary for watercolour, as long as you do not get the pages too wet that they tear.

[@blancarodriguez8938]

I can’t even draw a stick person right .

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

You don't need too with some of the methods for decoration I use her. Just cut, past, print and trace.

[@cherylbee9899]

I keep watching these Bible journaling videos and I just don’t understand. They are more about decoration your Bible and there is no way I’m marking my Bible up like this.

[@judywest-thepaintingnana9434]

I understand everyone is different. Thank you for your imput.

[@maritsmileee]

Get a different notebook and create beautiful notes in there about the word of GOD 🙏
