Going deeper


The fast-approaching new year has several long-term projects for me. One of them is Take Me Deeper, with  the His Kingdom Come community. Each week we will receive a Bible verse as a prompt. So the book above is my journal for the year-long journey deeper into faith.

The page below has been in the making over the festive period. I was looking through my postcard collection for a completely different image yesterday when I came across this skull. Having just finished making the journal above, I was thinking about what lies under the surface and what underpins my faith. The skull seemed to be perfect - it depicts what lies underneath the skin and muscle of a body, the skeleton that holds everything up. All the muscles are attached to the skeleton and so we are able to move. If there is something wrong with the skeleton, it shows.


Layers of stamping, tape, gelli-prints and paint.

  4. Tracy love your layers, and can't wait to see the weekly works, I loved the idea that the skull lies beneath and if something is wrong with the covering layers you can immediately notice it. Thanks for sharing it.
