Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPinspired
Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post every week announcing the latest project.
The goal this weekend is to make photographs and videos of the people, places and things that inspire you.
Show your muse. Whether it’s the fashionable friend who pushes you to try new styles or your grandfather, whose handwritten cookbook houses all your family’s favorite recipes, show us who (or what) has inspired you to step up your game or try something new.
Take us there. A striking sunrise makes an early morning hike worth the wake-up time. A new exhibit at a museum can push you to revisit your love of painting. Share the locations that motivate you to step outside your comfort zone.
Honor the inspired work. Have a piece of art or new hobby with a story? Show us what you’ve created, and tell us what encouraged you in your caption.
PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPinspired hashtag only to photos and videos taken over this weekend and only submit your own visuals to the project. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged photo or video taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured next week.

Fiber Artist @elizabethpawle Turned Her Passion Into a Small Business
To see more of Elizabeth’s art, follow @elizabethpawle on Instagram.
Before she took on the title of fiber artist, Elizabeth Pawle (@elizabethpawle) was an interior design magazine journalist. “I had to give that up when I was expecting my first baby six years ago,” says the small business owner who lives in Suffolk, England. “I’ve always loved making things and working with textiles, so I fell back into that when my son was tiny as a means of keeping my brain busy!” Over the years, she experimented with painting and illustration, but she’s always drawn back to working with textiles. “There’s something soothing about working with yarn, about making it behave in unexpected ways and turning scraps of wool and thread into something beautiful,” says the mother of two. “I never grow tired of losing myself in the textures and colors of one of my huge tapestries. It’s a bit like meditation.”

Fourth Time’s a Charm for This #MyInstagramLogo
We’re inspired by the ways community members make Instagram’s look come to life. Follow along on the #myinstagramlogo hashtag page and add your own ideas.
This #myinstagramlogo may be tiny, but after three failed attempts, freelance artist Salavat Fidai’s (@salavat.fidai) fourth sculpture of our app’s logo felt like a huge success. “I now cannot imagine my life without Instagram!” says Salavat, who lives in Ufa, Russia. “I like to see how Instagram changes and how it gets better and better.”

For Christina Lonsdale, Everyone Is a Radiant Human
To see more from the Radiant Human Project, follow @radianthuman_ on Instagram.
Christina Lonsdale (@radianthuman_) wants to film your vibrational frequency — better known as your vibes. Four years ago, the visual artist based in Portland, Oregon, started Radiant Human: a touring aura photography project. With a dome studio and a custom-built camera attached to magnetic plates, which subjects rest their hands on, Christina translates vibrational frequency into colors on instant photos. “We all want to know more about ourselves, because ultimately that’s what makes us happy,” says Christina. “That’s really where a lot of the magic of this project comes from – people knowing something new about themselves, that they have a special color, that they’re creating something special, every day, all the time. They’re radiating it.”

We’re in Love with the Top Instagram Hashtag of 2017
Follow along on #IGYearInReview as we reflect on the most memorable Instagram trends of 2017.
For the fifth year in a row, #love is the top Instagram hashtag. “There can never be an excess of love. We always need more,” says paper typographer Sabeena Karnik (@sabeenu) from Mumbai, India. “It is the most powerful feeling which can be expressed in so many ways: the smallest act of kindness, a caring word, a hug, a smile, a kiss.”
With this piece of art, Sabeena’s intent is to spread the word — and the feeling. “The tiny parts of the heart represent small acts of love which is all we need to make the world a better place,” she explains. “If we give love, we will always receive abundance of it in return.”
