Finding Inspiration In the Stars
Kim Gabriel, my quirky co-host of the Frameworthy challenge at Scrapbookgraphics, has chosen the Zodiac Series by Carolyn Quan for our inspiration this week. You can check out Quan's gallery here.
With a birthday in January, I will be trying to put together a Capricorn piece. Here's my Quan inspiration.
I've been on the Internet looking for resources to use in my work. If you feel like playing along, you might want to check out these Zodiac freebies.
Janita at Seishido.biz offers Written in the Stars Photoshop brushes, which includes large brushes for each sign.
Kirsty at 500 ML also offers Zodiac brushes, featuring 24 different brushes.
There are several fonts that focus on astrology, including KR Astro Font and AstroGadget. Both are available at Dafont.
You can even download free Zodiac clip art at PC World.
I'm really looking forward to seeing some out-of-this-world art in the gallery this week.
Well..that is quit a difficult challenge!! Good luck with it!

Hi Donna,
I just wanted to ask if I could use your 37 days talisman in a post I'm doing at my blog. Thanks much and great site!

Thanks for the brush links, Donna, I had them already; but I hadn't been to the sites in a while. Great challenge, I'm going to try to do this one.
