    Welcome to the Art Journaling Monthly Muse!

    Muse:
    verb: to reflect deeply on something
    noun: the source of artistic inspiration


    This past Mixed Media Monthly (M3) kit made me think of Frida Kahlo, why? Maybe it was the bold colors or maybe it was all the nature elements, stamps that were part of the kit. The thing is I love Frida, I love her dark art and I love the POP ART influence that people are adding to the vision of her.

    This month I will be using Frida art work and work art inspired by Frida as our inspiration. If you don't care for Frida please still join us and use any of the amazing faces and dolls in the store or around the internet.

    Here is my mood board, but I created an even bigger board in PINTEREST HERE.

    NOTE:
    Available still are the template set from Scrapping with Liz if you decide to go the "Skinny" route, but of course you don't have to you could make a full page. If you do decide to go for the Skinnies but haven't got the template from last month, you can find the templates available HERE. In addition Christa created one cool triangle template that you could use (Christa's awesome template is HERE).

    Once you are ready to share your page make sure you added to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE and then post it in this thread. To do so, copy the 3rd link on the right hand side of your LO, the one that reads :
    Share BB Code:
    and just paste the copied link into your text in the post DO NOT use any icons, no need to click on anything, just copy on the link, then paste it here in your text! :)

    :)
    We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month, even more incentives for your inspiration! You can use any products in The Lilypad store, make sure you follow our gallery guidelines.
    GALLERY RULES: Layouts must contain at least 50% TLP products. (Templates count as 15%.) Uploads must be less than 250k. List all credits; no off-site linking allowed.

    This is probably the most busy layout I have ever done. Hope I understood what you wanted. Anyway, I had fun creating it. Week 4 is the top triangle.

    I think this works for a double exposure?

    I hope is not too late, but I adore Frida since I discovered her almost 20 years ago, the book, movie, her art...she is my favorite, so here is mine, and I kept the original language which is also mine in the quotes:
