Design: Transforming Grace Series

New sermon series is coming...

Attempt 1: I knew it might be a bit too conceptual for Pastor, but I usually try that route first just to prime the pump and then I was hopeful that he'd go with it, so I showed it to him. He's like, "Uh, Jen, reign it in."
One of the messages for the series will be on the 2nd coming of Christ and that made me think about how His grace transforms us from "goats" to "sheep" and... yeah, was too conceptual for Pastor since the focus for the series
isn't literally on how Christ separates the Sheep and Goats. [background template from Igniter Media]
He liked the title text layout/font choices and the dark background so here're the next few proofs:

I didn't want to do butterfly imagery since it's so over done... so here's changing leaves...

Just the text... kinda nice, actually.
Moody guy with filters - thought the light at the top of the image was hopeful.
God's transforming grace/faith often starts at the top [head then heart].

And then there's this happy woman. I liked the hopeful imagery. In my mind, grace is interchangeable with hope
because they're so interlinked for me. Dancing in the rain or dancing after the rain, the idea of sun after rain -
how rain transforms landscapes and the sunlight after storms have a hopeful connotation.
Did a lot to the original photo [added shadows/texture, changed colors].
But even I thought it looked more like a women's study book cover
than it did a sermon series title.

Sculpture: Man's Face and a Hand

     I've been watching a lot of Ace of Clay on Youtube recently and really wanted to try some of his techniques but I wasn't at home that day.  Dad has some super soft stanky clay that he uses to work out some of his carvings and so I got into that this week. Maybe it's time to pull out my sculpture stuff again. Really do miss it - I enjoy that more than I do writing or drawing or... probably even eating LOL  Anyway... this clay was really soft stuff and it was hard to keep from smashing it or doing any real detail work - I mean, look at those ears HA!
