This week, cosmic energy + watercolor mischief combine as we celebrate some planetary happenings going on! August 2015 is a lively month for astronomical events. Coming up next week, on August 12th and 13th, we will experience the Perseids Meteor Shower (check out this article by the Los Angeles Times to find out the best places to observe the shower), when we will be able to observe up to 60 meteors per hour! Up next, on the 14th, the sky blackens with a New Moon, and last but certainly not least, we blast into a Supermoon on the 29th! To honor the show our galaxy is about to put on for us, we decided to round up a few of our celestial watercolor greeting cards. See below:
First row: Night Skyline, Cosmos “You Are Everything”
Second Row: Coyote Couple, Robot Space Girl
Not to be outdone by the galactic happenings, Masha brought her own star power to the table. Check out this fabulous Stargazer headband she made, inspired by silent film starlets–coincidentally, just in time for the meteors! Two pavé crystal stars above the temples with a deco star adorning the forehead:
