So onto the sign of Pisces which is symbolised by two fish swimming in different directions Ying and Yang. 

The fish was sacred to the Greco-Roman mythology, where it held symbolic meaning of change and transformation. We see this in the myth of Aphrodite and Heros when they turned themselves into fish in order to escape from the ferocious Typhon. 

February 19 - March 20

Pisces is the twelfth sign of the zodiac, and it is also the final sign in the zodiacal cycle. Hence, this sign brings together many of the characteristics of the eleven signs that have come before it. Pisces, however, are happiest keeping many of these qualities under wraps. These folks are selfless, spiritual and very focused on their inner journey. They also place great weight on what they are feeling. Yes, feelings define Pisces, and it's not uncommon for them to feel their own burdens (and joys) as well as those of others. The intuition of the Pisces-born is highly evolved. Many people associate Pisces with dreams and secrets, and it's a fair association, since those born under this sign feel comfortable in an illusory world.

Now for my inspiration this week 

I started with some balsa wood and cut out my symbols I worked on this for a while but was not feeling the piece. It was doing nothing for me. So I changed tacked, I run aged through my scrap pile of papers and pulled out some instruction from something. I used a pallet knife and scraped some Media Fluids Acrylic across the page.

I kept the stencilling simple and used the same colour palette in areas to add some interest.

I then scraped some white on to the page I will journal on this later.

And of course  some circles

I added my fish

I finished with journalling and stamp.

Next week we will have a guest who has more inspiration for us,  shall I tell you who? No You'll have to wait and see. 

So come on have a go,  this is what you could win. 

Add your entry via the linky.

Take care and I'll see you soon
