    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. :)

    • @hanabeloved8535

      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 лет назад +1

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

    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.

      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 лет назад +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!

    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

    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.

      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 лет назад +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: ruclips.net/video/hVI4LXy74_M/видео.html Thanks for watching!

    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!

    Where did you get the Bible? We are strongly devoted Christians but they are so expensive. So just wondering the cheapest place to get them. Thanks

    • @HowtoHandLetter
      @HowtoHandLetter  6 лет назад +1

      To be honest, I got the Bible when it first came out so it wasn't really a great price. They've since lowered the price but there are other journaling Bibles that are a bit more compact and much more inexpensive. (This one is really heavy so I don't love to take it places). But Crossway Books carries a huge variety of journaling Bibles and they have sales all the time. I'm on their email list and I've seen them as low as around $10 - although I'll warn you they send TONS of emails. Always double check with amazon too because they often run sales! If you don't mind if it's a journaling Bible, I found this article that lists a bunch of places to find free Bibles: www.thoughtco.com/how-to-obtain-a-free-bible-701263 I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
