See how fun and easy it is to create a zodiac chart with Kathryn Costa’s new astrology stencils. In this first project, you’ll pick two colors that you love to “tap” and “pounce” paint onto the stencil to form the wheel. Then we’ll walk through the progression of 12 zodiac signs from Aries to Pisces adding their symbols and keywords to the zodiac chart.
Get quick facts about each of the 12 zodiac signs and 12 celestial bodies (aka planets and luminaries) that are included in Kathryn Costa’s Zodiac Stencils.
PROJECT 1 – Create your first zodiac chart with Kathryn Costa’s stencils. Start by selecting two of your favorite colors of paint.
PROJECT 2 – Create a second zodiac chart using colors to reflect the yin (feminine, moon) and yang (masculine, solar) energy. Start with Aries (Masculine) and alternate colors for each sign ending with Pisces (Feminine).
