Sample Project from Creating a Masterpiece {Virtual Fridge}

This Week
I'm so impressed.  This week we followed a tutorial from over at Creating A Masterpiece - Lessons in Soft Pastel: Sample Project. The step by step tutorial was presented in video and divided into three short lessons. It took us around half an hour to create these beautiful drawings.

The Bard and the Bible: A Shakespeare Devotional {Tuesdays Treasures}

Are you a lover of Shakespeare?  Do you love reading the King James bible?  If you answered YES to both of these questions then I'd like to share with you my new treasure for this week:  The Bard and the Bible : A Shakespeare Devotional by Bob Hostetler.


  • Author: Bob Hostetler
  • Format: Hardback
  • Pages: 384
  • Publication date: 09 Aug 2016
  • Publisher: Worthy Inspired
  • Language: English
  • ISBN 10: 1617957240
  • ISBN 13: 9781617957246
I was gifted a copy of The Bard and the Bible : A Shakespeare Devotional for Christmas last year and have been enjoying this devotional for the last month.  It's a beautifully bound book with a dust jacket.  The Bard and the Bible contains 365 daily devotions.

Each day's devotional is presented as follows:
  •  begins with a quote from Shakespeare 
  • followed by a scripture 
  • then the day's devotional thoughts.  
  • The bottom of each page contains a section of interest. It contains some interesting snippet.  This information is varied (historical, linguistic, reference etc.) I have found these particularly interesting.  
Sample from The Bard and the Bible
 You can view more samples from this devotional on Amazon.

About Bob Hostetler on Book Depository: "Bob Hostetler is a writer and speaker. His thirty-six books to date include two best-selling devotionals co-authored with Josh McDowell and "Take Time To Be Holy," a one-year devotional drawn from the writings of Samuel Logan Brengle. He has won two Gold Medallion Awards, four Ohio Associated Press awards, and an Amy Foundation Award. He is the founding pastor of Cobblestone Community Church in Oxford, Ohio. He and his wife Robin have two children and five grandchildren."

Do you have a favourite devotional Author?  If so who and why?

Drawing Update {Virtual Fridge}

This Week
We're easing our way back into homeschooling for 2017 and as such have not done any art yet. Here is a progress picture from our drawing class.  We are still working our way through the Drawing Textbook  by Bruce McIntyre.

Next week I'm hoping to do a sample class from Creating A Masterpiece - Lessons in Soft Pastel: Sample Project. I'm looking forward to working with soft pastels again.
