Each phase of the Moon resonates with
magical significance and astrological meaning.
The First Quarter Moon - Action
Take your projects out there and do something practical about those decisions or wishes you made when the Moon was new. It provides a burst of energy and forward moving strength and power that you can tap into. Our plans, dreams and ideas are growing and this is a great period to focus on anything which you would like to deepen, grow and commit to. During this time, remember to keep soldiering forward, despite any fears, emotions or doubts that might get in your way. Turn around any emotional energy into creative passion so that you can get things done and finish goals.
Close up pictures are essential because there are so many layers upon layers of color and texture. This is the moon, isn't it gorgeous?
I used a skewer to both drag paint onto the page and to scribble lines through the paint while it was still wet. Just crushing on all this texture in the stem of the mushroom.
Are you interested in learning about the moon's phases and how we can learn to use them to our advantage? Well, I am exploring the moons for 2017, at the end of the year I'll look back and see how it did...or didn't affect me.

And on a fun note, I got an Honorable Mention over on The Mixed Monthly Challenge blog for my Christmas mermaid. Nice way to start the year off :)

Beautiful page! Love the colours and randomness of the "print" of the moon!
Loving your Christmas mermaid and I really like the moon story and the page you made about it. I never heard anything about how the other phases (other than full moon that is) effect things, so I enjoyed this. Thanks Sandee for joining us here at AJJ :) Erika
I also went through and was looking at all your moon art. VERY cool.

Your mermaid is delightful... beautifully festive and colourful. Cheers now!
