Wow Sam I have to say I am very impressed with your painting! I have painted a lot and when I saw your brushes I got a bit scared, to be honest, but you conquered even the lousy brushes and created a really beautiful galaxy! I honestly love it, it reminds me a lot of the northern lights we see a lot of this time of year here in Sweden. Have you ever seen them? So don’t judge yourself, nobody else is, you are better than you think! Now treasure your bible and be proud of your work!
I love how it turned out! The colors are so bold and bright and beautiful. You did a wonderful job and don't let anyone saying different including yourself. Just like this bible it is an original just like you. Have a bless and wonderful day.
It’s BEAUTIFUL! What a great project! I love that you tried this and that you shared the process and your thoughts along the way. You’re totally an artist! 😘
Sam, I think you did a GREAT job! I love the colors that you chose! It's sad that you have to tell people not to leave mean comments ☹ I was taught if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing. God bless you.
I truly love what you did and have used your and your shop to purchase the tools to purchase the Bible and supplies to paint my bible. Thank you for being so inspirational!!!
The fact that you're not experienced and it turned out so well gives me courage to try it myself. You are definitely an artist and it's gorgeous. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing the experience!! :D
We are all artists, including you, but we don't all have the same talents. I am a recovering perfectionist, so the things you say about your work really resonate with me because I've said them all to myself when I tried new things. I have decided to enjoy the process as much as my products. I'm glad that you seem proud that you tried and now you also have the memory documented on your hobonichi, too (the white splatters)! Enjoy your beautiful new bible.
This was truly a work of art! Thank you for having the courage to share the process with us-I really am not an artist, and what I appreciated most was that you didn’t give up! It’s gorgeous and meaningful and precious. 👍🏼❤️👏🏼
It looks beautiful! You should feel good about it, you did a fantastic job. If you're not an artist, I don't know who is! Your Bible is a work of art and you should be proud of your accomplishment. It's so unique, no one will have one like it. I'm sure God is smiling!
What an amazing job!!! I have a terrible time trying to paint leather that has a flat texture. I use Angelus leather paint and can only paint on pebbles leather or saffiano. Great job!!
Wow! This turned out magnificent! And I love your lettering-I immediately recognize it as yours now. When I saw the image on IG I knew it was yours before I saw your name or profile pic😊. What a special thing you have created for yourself!
Super-cool! Your color choice and persistence really paid off! If you really hate your lettering, you could just paint it out and - after you seal it - you could add custom vinyl letters to the spine (the ones that are in a cool font). But I have to say that I think your own lettering looks tremendous, and I don't really think you should change it!
Wow! That turned out beautiful. When you said you weren’t an artist I wasn’t sure what the end result was going to be....looks like you are an artist you just didn’t realize it. 👍🏼
You did an awesome job on this. I LOVE the way you depicted the galaxy and great lettering job! You will cherish this forever! Good for you for having the courage to give it a try!!!
It's BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so impressed with your results, considering all the struggles you mentioned having. I am an artist, and I painted my first Bible with the same theme you did: galaxy/nebula. I TOTALLY agree with you on it being a challenge, seriously, start to finish! I think I repainted mine 3 different times to get it like I wanted. You did a great job powering through your brush struggles. I did it differently: I had cut up some clean, soft kitchen sponges, then layed down my paint colors with a large, flat artist's brush -- kind of a thick layer -- then I pounced the wet paint with the sponge to get it blended and smoothed. Layer after layer then blend, then add more color. It went like wash, rinse, repeat, lol! I subscribed! Have a great week!
I’m not sure why anyone would feel that they should critic anyone else’s art unless they are asked to. It’s beautiful my dear and your fear level is something you worked through. Congratulations.
This was awesome! You did a beautiful job! I think it’s kind of cool that you did this for the first time on your bible and didn’t practice before. There’s so much to take from that and it’s special that this lesson is taken with your bible. It’s so reflective of our story and our relationship with God. It’s filled with ups and downs, lots of trial and error, and several emotions lol. It all leads us onward and upward to being with our Heavenly Father at the end of it all. Your journey led you to a beautiful cover and you learned so much a long the way.
I painted a moleskine notebook last year. I put black gesso down and used acryllic paint. I love that you say that youre not an artist but you are brave enough to try. Some people and i am one of them get locked down by fear. It turned out AMAZING! i might try to do this on my bullet journal!!.
Your word of 2019 is be kind. Be kind to yourself! You’re awesome! You did a great job and are very brave. I bet if you saw one of your friends do this, you would go on and on about how beautiful it is. Be kind to yourself and talk to yourself like you would talk to your friends. I am very hard on myself too. This advice was given to me from some of my friends. I hope it helps! You are amazing!!!!
Thanks for sharing your process! I relate so well 😜 Whether we call ourselves artists or not (believe me I say the same all the time about not being an artist!) when we create art we are being artistic. This looks absolutely beautiful! I know when I do my own that I can see all the little parts that I imagined differently but sometimes the end product is better because it has a life of its own and allowed us time to play with colour and art materials. I hope that you grow to love this more and more as the year of reading goes on because it is gorgeous, creative, bright, and joyful!
It came out so beautiful Sam!!! It will be such a special keepsake for your children! Now that’s it’s done, you should be proud of your creation. I added the white Posca paint pens to my wishlist! ✨💛✨
I love how it turned out! It was a rough start, but it really turned out pretty!!! And I love it when you said, “I’m gonna call it space dust.” LOL And I hope you like it because that is all that really matters.
Please be nicer to yourself. It looks beautiful. So much like a galaxy. I love the Libra symbol. ♎ I totally get the idea of the two rows of text and the note taking. I remember my art history book was confusing like that. 🤷 If I may be so bold, that's my wish for you in the new year, that you're nicer to yourself. 💚 My art projects for school were always last minute. I thought they would take a short amount of time and they took hours! LOL. I usually was either completely sleep deprived or got a nap before class. 👩🎨 Have a great New Year!
Sam, you did an amazing job on your bible! I only wish I was as talented and patient. I have a black journaling bible and wouldn’t dare to paint it because I would probably not do a great job . I may cover it with some stickers or something over the years.
It’s Beautiful Sam. Great job!! Do you know what plan your going to follow this year for reading the Bible through? I picked a chronological one, instead of Daily Audio Bible that I normally use. Thanks again for sharing it’s lovely.
You did a beautiful job and you now have a lovely personal bible. I have never attempted to paint anything like that. My creativity tends to be more with knitting and/or crochet. The bible we have here is the Beck which supposedly is supposed to be easier to read/understand. Anyway, I loved the video as always and really love how the cover turned out.
Hi Again Sam, You will not believe this. I went on Amazon to research the ESV version Bible and found it for my Kindle for free. That way I can check it out and see how I like it prior to ordering an actual book copy.
Sam, it’s beautiful. I’m doing the same reading program with a brand new bible too. But I am doing a leather rebound cover with full yapp instead of painting. I love a gorgeous leather cover but your painting is making me rethink my choice lol! Your bible looks beautiful and did you know you can get galaxy bible tabs off amazon. I got some for my daughter because she loves the galaxy theme too. Ps. If you pop your frixion writing in the freezer for a while, they return to their former glory after an episode in the heat. Thanks for sharing!
Love the design and God created the universe and of course it's beautiful!!! One question, do we need a paper cover to do the painting? What if it's coated paper? Will acrylic paint still work?
I was looking through your videos and enjoyed them immensely. Consider that the ESV is not a new version. I remember when this came out and knew some of the people who had a hand in its making. There are over 64,000 words omitted from it because it is basically the Revised Standard Version, which was not Revised but basically culled together from various Catholic Bibles at the time. :-) We are being misled by publishing companies who frankly want our hard-earned money. :-) I John 5:7-8 for instance?
The only critique I have of this video is how much you critique yourself! Girl, this Bible is PERFECT. The galaxy is full of imperfections so your galaxy fits right in...though I will say I don't see what you see. I think it is perfect. I would actually pay you to make me one, so if you are feeling up to it again send me a message,... I would love a Sam original!!!
Wow Sam I have to say I am very impressed with your painting! I have painted a lot and when I saw your brushes I got a bit scared, to be honest, but you conquered even the lousy brushes and created a really beautiful galaxy! I honestly love it, it reminds me a lot of the northern lights we see a lot of this time of year here in Sweden. Have you ever seen them? So don’t judge yourself, nobody else is, you are better than you think!
Now treasure your bible and be proud of your work!
You did and awesome job for someone who doesn’t paint. It’s really not an easy task. Be proud of it and cherish it because it’s amazing!!
I love how it turned out! The colors are so bold and bright and beautiful. You did a wonderful job and don't let anyone saying different including yourself. Just like this bible it is an original just like you. Have a bless and wonderful day.
I love your artwork it's really beautiful And you did an awesome job.
Thank you. ❤️
I haven't opened my bible in YEARS, and this makes me want to. Thank you 💜 its stunning!! Xoxo
This is positively stunning! Major respect for trying it. You are an artist as far as I am concerned! TFS
It’s BEAUTIFUL! What a great project! I love that you tried this and that you shared the process and your thoughts along the way. You’re totally an artist! 😘

Thank you for sharing this video! You have inspired my daughter and I to paint our own bibles!
You did a great job!!! Loving the celestial cover!!!!!

You did a great job for your first time. The art is for you so thanks for sharing. Keep sharing, love watching your videos.
It’s gorgeous!!

I would buy that in a heartbeat! Beautiful work!💕

It's beautiful!!!!! You did a great job.
I think you did a wonderful job on painting your Bible !
I love the outcome!
I love it! You are too hard on yourself. Beautiful is all I can say. Just stunning.
You tried something new which is the important part. You should be proud! Great job!
It looks beautiful!!!

@@samplans thats how i feel about knitting. I know the stitches and i know how to read a pattern but i hate it
It looks great! Very cool. I like your lettering and the colors you used. thanks for the tip about frixion pens and heat. Libras rule! 😉
love love love! you have so much more patience than I have, lol. looks AMAZING!

They are!

Looks cool☺️
Sam, you did an amazing job on your bible! I only wish I was as talented and patient. I have a black journaling bible and wouldn’t dare to paint it because I would probably not do a great job . I may cover it with some stickers or something over the years.
Okay. Totally with you on the single column. Lol
Sam, it turns out fantastic! 😍😍😍
Looks great 😊
It’s Beautiful Sam. Great job!! Do you know what plan your going to follow this year for reading the Bible through? I picked a chronological one, instead of Daily Audio Bible that I normally use. Thanks again for sharing it’s lovely.
That looks amazing, you should be so proud. Xxx
It’s beautiful and it’s yours.🤗

@@samplans I will have to look into the ESV version.
Hi Again Sam, You will not believe this. I went on Amazon to research the ESV version Bible and found it for my Kindle for free. That way I can check it out and see how I like it prior to ordering an actual book copy.
be proud of yourself i think it is awsome ❤
Thank you!!
Gorgeous job!
Due you have a calendar that you use to read the Bible in a year?
Sam Plans they all seem to bounce around ... I’m to old for that... ok I forget where I start and end 🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️
It looks great you did a fantastic job. Love the purples and how it turned out. Be nicer to yourself. :D
I really like it... would be curious to know if you kept it this way or not. I'll have to check your channel for more videos
It’s still painted. 😊
I love the way it turned out! And I also prefer a single column journaling ESV Bible! 💕
Sam, it’s beautiful. I’m doing the same reading program with a brand new bible too. But I am doing a leather rebound cover with full yapp instead of painting. I love a gorgeous leather cover but your painting is making me rethink my choice lol!

How’s your painted Bible doing 5 years later? Have you done it again?
It’s doing just fine! I’ve wanted to try again, but haven’t gotten the guts to do it just yet. 😅
The only critique I have of this video is how much you critique yourself! Girl, this Bible is PERFECT. The galaxy is full of imperfections so your galaxy fits right in...though I will say I don't see what you see. I think it is perfect.
