June, 2007-
Having just returned from a whole week in Kansas City, Missouri at the
International House of Prayer (IHOP) for the Joseph Company Conference
I'm full of new inspiration! Bob Hartley teaches a prayer model of The
ABC's of Adoration where you think about the names of God that begin
with each letter & go through the whole alphabet just adoring God.
When you just adore the Lord this way you can pray for a very long time
and it will seem like a moment! After the teaching I went into the prayer
room and the Lord downloaded inspiration for artwork for each letter
to me. I drew in the prayer room for hours and it was incredibly fun!
These drawings will be made into a framable piece of artwork containing
all of the letters with the names of God. It will be perfect for a prayer
room, home, church or office. Each letter will also be made as a sepearate
page for a book with the references on the opposite page. I'm hoping
to have a full sized, color book and a pocket edition. Projected time
to go to the publisher is by December 2007.
The love of the ABC's began when I began doing calligraphy many years
ago but there's also a history of literal ABC's artwork. In 1992 I did
a piece that had the ABC's for a preschool teacher in which each letter
had several things that represented her particular class. During the
next several years I made "Namesigns" which were avaliable
in a national catalog, Harris Communications. "Namesigns"
were each hand drawn original 8x10 artworks which had the letters of
a person's name in italic capital letters, each letter had the American
Sign Language handshape drawn within it. They were drawn with Prismacolor
designer pens & were available in jewel tones, floral design or
primary colors.
