Welcome to the August Art Journaling Monthly Muse! Muse: verb: to reflect deeply on something noun: the source of artistic inspiration This month is gonna be all about SIGNS. Each week we will explore different aspects of this versatile word. There are so many ways to use this word, so don't feel boxed in by my prompts, but try to use them a little. PROMPT: an object, quality, or event whose presence or occurrence indicates the probable presence or occurrence of something else.I have three areas you can choose from this week: Horoscope Signs /Astrology Sun/Moon Signs Weather Signs or combine them all! Examples: 1. Astrology/Zodiac Sun/Moon signs and or Weather Signs I went with sun and kinda weather, because I was inspired with Rachel Jeffries new template: Artified: Unexpected Layered Template You may create any style of layout (ie. clean and simple, artsy, pocket style etc.) you wish, but for this challenge you do need to use ONE of the prompts on your page(visually or with images). Create any size page you wish. This is for everyone, so have fun and see where the inspiration takes you. If you want all 4 Muses on one page that's perfectly ok or you can make 4 separate pages!! It's totally up to you! Please post your layout to the Art Journaling Gallery HERE prior to August 31st and then post it in this thread by copying the code (at the right of your gallery image) from the box under "Share BB Code". We will draw a winner at the beginning of next month for a coupon!! You can use any products in The Lilypad store or retired products from current Lilypad designers, (just make sure you follow our gallery guidelines). If you have any questions, ask away!
I love this week's Muse, Anne! Great inspiration pieces to start our creative juices flowing! I'm loving that template - I started to get it last night. I love what you did with it!!

I hope mine is OK, I chose Sun/Moon signs. I was trying to show that I am both sides light and dark, happy and sad, hot and cool.
I'm always intrigued by star signs but not really a believer... (and just realized I have spelt perfectionist incorrectly, hmmm, trying to tell me something...)
Bahaha you caught me unaware to laugh. Hilarious. When I was in high school. Long ago in weirdo California. I told the school I was a star gazer as my religion. I wasn't. But I made up holidays and they believed me.
So funny, i also laughed out loud picturing you explaining your religion and associated holidays, part of me is glad we don't live close together, we could get into enormous trouble with that sense of humor and i would quite happily encourage it...
