journal entry:
I have also embellished these world globes with inspirational words and quotes and bright, metallic oceans, jungles and clouds. The globe above is a large globe. This globe’s theme is:
LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME
I used sponges to create the metallic look of the continents and the ocean which is peppered with white clouds. Stars of various kinds and sizes hand in the sky as if they want to be the lights that guide.
I think that I will follow the winding trail of pearls
and follow the light until I reach my home.
LITTLE BY LITTLE,ONE TRAVELS FAR.
J.R.R. Tolkien
I love this quote because it is so true. At the beginning of life, the journey seems that it will go on forever.
Closer to the end, it is easy to see that we have traveled far.
This was a very fun globe to paint.
I used a sponge to follow the contour of the mountain ranges and
to show the lakes and forests and jungles.
THERE IS SUNSHINE IN MY SOUL TODAY
This globe displays the words to one of my favorite hymns. It is such a bright and happy song that I made the globe bright and happy as well.
There is sunshine in my soul today, more glorious and bright
Than shines in any earthly sky, for Jesus is my light.
There is sunshine, blessed sunshine, where the peaceful, happy moments roll.
When Jesus shows his smiling face, there is sunshine in my soul.
Other verses speak of the wonderful gifts that come to a happy soul.
“Money cannot buy one necessity of the soul.”
