SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS #232 Z is for Zodiac

 

Hello and welcome back, snarky peeps!

THE SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS

are back with another challenge. Possibly even a tough one:

Z is for Zodiac!

I'm not gonna lie, this one was a difficult one, but I did

what I usually do when stumped on a challenge:

Look up funny memes for inspiration!

I created a water colored panel to add to my art journal:

When I saw the meme, first I thought it was funny, but then I was like,

did we gain another zodiac sign and I never noticed??

So I did some research. Lots of articles about whether 

Ophiuchus is or isn't.

Here's one I found that was interesting. 

Anyhoo, I decided to make a water colored galaxy panel to

add to my art journal. I cut a piece of water color paper and

used four colors of Derwent Inktense Blocks.

I scribbled them onto the paper, then used a paintbrush

with water to move and blend the colors.

I did this three more times, making sure the paper was

dry between layers before starting the next.

Here are some process photos:

I mixed a bit of water to some gesso and splattered over the

panel to create my 'stars'.

Once that was dry, I trimmed the panel and glued it to my art journal.

Then I looked up what the supposed new zodiac sign of Ophiuchus

 looked like, and drew it onto my page. Of course, I used 

the first picture I came across, then only after I added it,

 discovered there's more to the sign. (Insert facepalm here)

Well, this is an "artist's interpretation" then. LOL!

I hope that you'll join us in our Zodiac

challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers!

If you visit the blogs of my Sistahs and our newest reigning

with their projects!
