Are you a Sheep, or are you a Goat?

Matthew 25: 31-46

I am posting this very late since it was last week's lesson, but I know many  of you haven't seen it. And if you were not in class last Wednesday, we will be doing the sheep page this week. When I was in San Antonio visiting my daughter at Easter we Bible journaled together.  She designed these two pages. and I put my spin on it.   The scripture says that when the Son of Man comes in His glory He will separate the sheep and the goats.  The goats will be on His left and the sheep on His right. The rest of the passage describes how He will determine who (the sheep) have eternal life, and who will have eternal punishment (the goats).

Because I was in Texas I had Texas Hill Country images in my head - cactus, lots of rocks, sticker bushes, sticker plants, sticker everything, scorpions, and rattlesnakes.  So the goats had to be in the rocks and miserable stuff.  But also in the ruggedness of the Texas Hill Country there are beautiful wildflowers blooming in the spring - Indian Paintbrushes, Mexican Blankets, Evening Primrose, and the most beautiful and breathtaking Texas Bluebonnets. So I put the sheep in the bluebonnets.  It was Erica's idea to use the radiating design and add the spirals in gray on the goat side to make it look story. We used white spirals on the sheep side with Wink of Stella on top, but they do not show up in the photo.  I painted the animals with watercolors and added some white gel pen dots. Erica used Stampin' Up ink instead of watercolors.  I outlined the letters and the figures with an 01 Micron.

I made a mistake.  I meant for my words to say Goat and Sheep, but I put Goats. I wanted it to say, "Are You a Goat"  and "Are You a Sheep". But it ended up saying Don't Hang with the Goats... Be a Sheep.

We finished it off with silver Washi tape that we cut in half to make the line more narrow.  Confession:  I do not like Washi tape.  Just sayin'....  I hope I haven't offended anyone.......
