Scripture Art: Inspired by God's Word, the Holy Bible
Many people, including me, find inspiration from Bible verses. I enjoy turning (literally!) Scripture into Art as an Acrostic Ambigram, and I have been doing this regularly since 2009. I use a key word or phrase from the verse to build an acrostic with a quarter-turn rotation, and superimpose the lettering onto a faded photographic background of an open Bible or other original artwork. The photograph of the Bible and any other featured artwork are also my own work.
Most of the scriptures here fit well in each of several formats: Full Page, Quarter Page/Greeting Card, and Bookmark (small and large). You may also choose to have multiple scriptures printed across a diptych or triptych layout for 5-inch x 7-inch picture frame openings or other multiple-scripture arrangements. Contact me to discuss customized ordering options. To order bookmarks, please visit my e-store, https://squareup.com/store/rebecca-may.

Unless otherwise noted, the following scriptures are from the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures, either the 1985 Reference Edition or the 2013 Revision. The featured acrostic expression is indicated by ALL CAPS. For "artistic license" reasons, some verses may be paraphrased or wording may be shifted to better suit the layout of the featured acrostic letter forms. In harmony with the principle found at Revelation 22:18-19, none of my artwork makes any attempt whatsoever at changing the meaning of the quoted scriptures.
