Bible Journaling – Fun With Cursive Handwriting

by | Jul 10, 2015 | Uncategorized | 21 comments

Since I’ve been practicing cursive hand writing, I thought I’d share a few things in this little tutorial that I’ve picked up over the past few weeks.

Subscribers, if you can’t see the video, please click through to the blog.

Download dotted paper for practicing hand lettering: Click here.

I also wanted to point out that the best pen for lettering is the Micron-01, but just so you know–when using the o1, you need to have a light hand. I tend to press hard and I’ve broken several tips before I learned it wasn’t the pen’s fault. It was mine. Also I use the Micron size 05 for outlining everything else.

Here are a couple of the designs I’ve been working on this week.

For those who are wondering, this is a KJV Journaling Bible. You can find them at Amazon.

    Thanks for the video! The music makes it a lot harder to hear and focus on you – just some feedback for next demonstration video!! So glad you got me into bible journaling – keep the posts coming! Thanks so much!

      I FORGOT to mention that the reason it’s hard to hear is that I had two fans blowing on me. Our air conditioner broke and I forgot to turn them off. I was so disappointed when I played it back and realized.

    Thank you so much for the dotted paper. I think this will help me. My problem is I am so impatient and want to hurry along instead of practicing.

    Just wanted you to know how inspiring your bible journaling is. Thank you for your tutorials. I stumbled into bible journaling through Pinterest and find it very exciting. Although I am not technogy savy I am trying to learn the process. I wod like to inquire as to where you found the cute Volkswagen Bug!! Is this a rubber stamp or sticker? Please keep sharing your talent. God bless.

      I looked at a photo and drew it by hand. Took me a while to get it right. Thanks!

    I am so interested in this idea. This will bring me closer to the scripture. I will get my materials so I can get started!!!!

    So happy to have found you on Pinterest, just getting ready to start bible journaling with my sisters and daughter. Trying to gather as much info as I can, I’m left handed with not so great handwriting and saw on your video that you are left handed to. Thank you for your inspiration and God bless you!

    • Darlene Schacht on September 29, 2015 at 5:47 pm

      Oh, you are the first to notice that! LOL

  11. Tallya on October 20, 2015 at 11:26 pm

    I found you through pinterest and besides your cute illustration, the thing that drew me here is that you are the first Bible journaler I have come across to use the KJV version of the Bible! I love the cute and compact ESV journaling Bibles but I can not dismiss how that translation and many others don’t line up with the hebrew/greek text and are even missing key words and verses. I am very excited to find your blog and will follow on Instagram too.

    • Darlene Schacht on October 26, 2015 at 5:35 am

      Cool! I’m glad you found your way here!

    Would you like to know where this concept originated. Visit my Pinterest page “Bible Art by Vicky Murphy” and watch the video from 1990.

    How do you come up with such great ideas? I love your little volkswagon entry I wish I had thought of that! Linda

    • Darlene Schacht on August 4, 2016 at 12:10 pm

      Thanks so much! I’ve always loved volkswagon beetles. I like to draw simple things and that looked easy. =)
