What I Believe
QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Not to give God our spirit(ual worship) is a great sin.  It is a mockery of God, not worship, contempt, not adoration, whatever our outward fervency or protestations may be.  Every alienation of our hearts from Him is a real scorn put upon Him.  The acts of the soul are real, and more the acts of the man than the acts of the body; because they are the acts of the choicest part of man, and of that which is the first spring of all bodily motions; it is the internal speech whereby we must speak to God.  To give Him, therefore, only an external form of worship without the life of it, is taking His name in vain.
Stephen Charnock, The Attributes of God, pg.263

Harry_Potter_1%20wtrmk.JPG

In anticipation of the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh in the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, I am offering a set of seven bookmarklets, one for each of the books in the series.  Each of the bookmarklets will bear the same lettering, however each will be doubled mounted in its own distinctive color scheme.  The set of seven will be offered for $20.00, shipping included.  Or, you can buy a single bookmarklet mounted in your choice of colors for the regular price of $4.99.

 The seven bookmarklet sets will be available on July 22nd.  Single bookmarklets are available now.

If you prefer custom Harry Potter bookmarks, contact me and we'll create one together!

Bookmark: Pilgrim's Progress

traveler.JPG

This is the bookmark that "lives" in my copy of Pilgrim's Progress.  I made it many years ago, long before I ever thought about creating bookmarks for a larger audience.  The quote is from a poem that John Bunyan wrote about his Magnum Opus, Pilgrim's Progress.  I loved the sentiment and so I chose it for the design.  If you would like to order this bookmark, I could letter the actual book title and Bunyan's name and mount it on the other side if so desired.

This book mark is a one of a kind creation, made for Leslie of Lux Venit, but the verse can be coupled with the phrase "Post Tenebras Lux" (After Darkness, Light) and mounted with colors of your choosing.

Bookmark:  George

george_mag.JPGThis is a refrigerator magnet I made with a picture of our kitty-boy, George, who we recently lost.  I miss him alot, so I like having his picture nearby.  It's about the size  of a bookmark--3" x6"--and is laminated with magnets attached on the back.  My scanner is acting up, so there is a fair amount of distortion, but at least you can get an idea of how a bookmark can be personalized with a photo.  Any bookmark can easily be made into a magnet.

I made this one for Shannon, at Rocks in My Dryer.  I drew from the design elements on her blog to create a bookmark especially for her.  It's one of a kind.

Bookmark: a rustling of leaves

pam_in process2.JPG

This is an image of a piece I did for Pam at a rustling of leaves.   She wanted the wind blowing autumn leaves across the pages of an open Bible.  It was eventually mounted in yellow and blue--like the deep blue autumn sky in the sunshine.

I really like this one.  It's one of a kind.

Atlas Shrugged

atlas_shrugged_bmklt%20wtrmk.JPG

I had fun with this one.

I haven’t read this book so I had to do some research to learn about its plot. 

From the article Atlas Shrugged on Wikipedia:

"The main conflict of the book occurs as the "individuals of the mind" go on strike, refusing to contribute their inventions, art, business leadership, scientific research, or new ideas of any kind to the rest of the world. Society, they believe, hampers them by interfering with their work and underpays them by confiscating the profits and dignity they have rightfully earned. The peaceful cohesiveness of the world requires those individuals whose productive work comes from mental effort. But feeling they have no alternative, they eventually start disappearing from the communities of "looters" and "moochers" who bleed them dry. The strikers believe that they are crucial to a society that exploits them, and the near-total collapse of civilization their strike eventually triggers shows them to be correct.

The novel's title is an allusion to the Titan, discussing what might happen if those supporting the world suddenly decided to stop doing so. In the novel, the allusion comes during a conversation between two protagonists, Francisco d'Anconia and Hank Rearden, near the end of part two, chapter three, where Francisco suggests to Rearden that if he could suggest to Atlas that he do one thing, it would be to shrug."


I chose a letterform by Albrecht Dürer to represent timelessness, solidity, complexity and precision and then counter pointed it by balancing it on a simple, modern letterform.  The letter “d” shrugs.  I achieved it by shrugging as I lettered it.  Such a small thing to unbalance the whole.
