Welcome to Inspire Me Thursday...   A weekly dose of inspiration for
mixed media artists and creative types to nurture their muses and CREATE!

Peace Symbol

peace
This week, our creative prompt is the Peace Symbol. This universal sign of peace turns 50 years old this year (although there is some controversy that it has been around for much longer); whatever its origins, let us be inspired by what this symbol represents — to you personally or to others.

One option for this week’s prompt is download the Peace symbol template from HappyBirthdayPeace.com. Art it up, then you can upload it to their gallery, as well as share with us here.

Get creative by interpreting this topic through art, words, photography, however you feel moved to express yourself. Post it on your blog, then leave your link* in the comments section of this post so we can go check it out.

* To ensure it is easy for us to find your work, please provide a link to a static page that will always show your submission, and not your website’s main page.

    I put the following link a bit too late in the creative prompt for ‘2′ - but it seems more appropriate here :) The painting wasn’t a response to the current idea, but was inspired by an idea on IMT some time ago - I finished it at the same time I came across this page! It brings a lovely closure to my work on it. I originally created it to bring peace, rest and comfort to some people I love.

    here is one out of my archives; i dont think I will have time to create one this week. this is photoshopped; cropped kind of funny but i kind of like the way it is off to the side and kind of makes you ask what is going on; the subtle message of peace and survive and the peace sign and the dove. etc

    do remixes of songs take away or add to the original composition? either way, worthwhile message.

    Wow, loved this prompt - thanks Melanie, as it made me aware of the history behind this symbol.

    Here’s my effort- women power at the Greenham common protests.

    We started an entire peace project as part of the 1,000 Faces of Mother Henna. We invite all artists to contribute a piece of peace artwork. The online exhibit hosts quite a few pieces and we are open on a rolling basis for others to participate, too. Check it out at:

    And we’ve been offering creative commons freebie on the “Seek Peace” face from the Mother Henna project for over a year now:
