Cooligraphy


I came across the work of Tess Cooling some time ago. She is a calligraphist and specialises in beautiful presentations of scripture. I contacted her to see if she had done anything on Psalm 23 which had a profound affect on my wife and myself in being called into full time ministry in the Salvation Army. She hadn't at the time but I received an email a few weeks ago to tell me that she has completed the work. Her website says this:
These much loved words come from the 23rd Psalm of the Geneva Bible of 1560. Around the pictures the words are from the 14th Century Wyclif Bible in which they appear as Psalm 22. The illustrations aim to convey the peace and comfort we seek from nature, the sky and the still waters.
I think it is quite beautiful. The whole Psalm 23 thing is another story which I will tell at some point. Please visit her website here.
