I’ve loved designing the poke-a bit-of-fun-at-ourself Christian t-shirt slogans. They remind me that God gave us a sense of humour and wants us to have fun. Sometimes we just take ourselves too seriously don’t we! So here’s the other ones I’ve done over the last couple of days.
Hope they gave you a wee laugh.
My friends and I were laughing last night about t-shirt slogans and tossed a few around including the first one featured below. I know that one would run into copyright issues if I tried to make it for real but it was fun to design.
Sometimes I think that as Christians we take ourselves too seriously here’s a few slogans that laugh at us a little and would maybe make great t-shirt designs.
i was looking at my vast collection of quotes the other day – sometimes i love to just read them and ponder them, sometimes i look to them for inspiration and sometimes like today they are the inspiration. here’s a few quotes on writing and creativity to get you thinking.
“you never know what you will learn ‘til you start writing. then you discover truths you never knew existed.” – anita brookner
“let your mind alone and see what happens”. – virgil thomson
“to me the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it’s about, but the inner music that words make”. truman capote
‘writing is my refuge. it’s where i go. it’s where i find that integrity i have.’ – charles. b. johnson
“the best time for planning a book is while you’re doing the dishes.” – agatha christie
‘writing is the only thing that when i do it, i don’t feel i should be doing something else” – gloria steinem
“the creative power cannot be repressed, one must give vent to what one feels”. – vincent van gogh
“life is not long for anybody and the problem is only to make something of it.” – vincent van gogh
“it is a pity that as one gradually gains experience, one gradually loses ones youth”. – vincent van gogh
“you should be writing something from your life, from the depths of your soul. there is more in you than this,” he said, “if you have the courage to hear it.” – louisa may alcott – from the film adaptation of little women
“humanity is in your tears. “no tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.” – robert frost
years ago I believed i was not strong, not brave or particularly smart. life and people told me that in many different ways. books were an escape and i lost myself in their pages many times to escape my life. to me these drawings that i did epitomised my life as i saw it.
but today I am no longer that same hurt, little locked up girl and books have had a part to play in that. so many people’s written words have played a part in helping me believe that there is more to me than my hurt – from the bible to the hobbit, to winnie the pooh. and today i want to say to those that are hurting – don’t let your hurt define you or tell you who you are or what you can be. here’s a quote from a a milne (the creator of winnie the pooh) that spoke to my life, speaks to each of those pictures above and hopefully will speak to you too.
there is something about children and the way they see things that fascinates me so i have been playing with images of children lately in photoshop. here’s three of my efforts, i hope they speak to you of simple faith and innocence.
don't let the facts get in the way of your creativity
by all means seek wisdom but look at the world through the eyes of a child
our childhood is at an end when things cease to astonish us
Come sit by my fire and be warmed – my creative fire that is. I love being creative and this blog is where I will post stuff that I’ve created or that inspires me – everything from quotes to jewellery, fashion, crafts, design, art and more. Today I want to leave you with a quote –
“why do we dream of being heroes when we’re a kid?
because that’s our destiny as an adult. we dreamed
of the impossible as kids because our destiny
is to live the impossible as adults.”
– Lyn Packer
