Chinese astrology is based on the year of your birth, and you will be
a specific animal depending on which year you were born, but you will
also be a specific ELEMENT (eg you could be a metal tiger or a water
rabbit or a fire rooster ). If you want to use your element here is an
easy way to work it out:
If the last number in your birth year is 0 or 1, your element is
Metal.
If the last number in your birth year is 2 or 3, your element is
Water.
If the last number in your birth year is 4 or 5, your element is
Wood.
If the last number in your birth year is 6 or 7, your element is
Fire.
If the last number in your birth year is 8 or 9, your element is
Earth.
So for example if you were born in 1981 your element would be Metal
and so on.
Feel free to use your element (or not) and/or the prompt Dragon (for Year of the Dragon) or Red (considered to be the luckiest colour).
We can't wait to see what you create this month and what you
choose to focus on!

This time I was inspired by the colour (red is so
energetic!) and the dragon. I used my word of the
year (Imagination) as well. I tried to create some
unique background using for it stamps, beautiful
sparkling spray, and texture paste with a stencil.
These little drops are made of acrylic paint.

This month's challenge was a fun one. I already knew
that my element was water and that I wanted to use it and
my word of the year. As this month will also welcome
in the Year of the Dragon I wanted to include a dragon and
then I found these red flowers which gave me a red element
too so I managed all four options in one page and that
made me pretty happy! My WOTY is READY and so I
added in the statement "Je suis prêt" which is French for
"I am ready".

Ohh there are so many challenge options this month!
I went with my element (water) and red. I absolutely
adore these watery images by Tracy Verdugo over at
ArtStacks so I based my page around them.
