Home-Work Icon Request

[qos]

I have not been able to find a really good Domesticity/Home-Work icon that suits my desire to express sacred homemaking and/or a certain irreverent approach.

Do any of you have any suggestions, pointers, or donations?

This Queen of Pentacles icon is only marginally appropriate. Look where pentacle is, for heaven's sake! I'm trying to get away from abstracting this work, and her pentacle is in her mind, not being expressed in the world.

Unfortunately, most Queen of Pentacles icons just don't work for me. They're a bit too cozy-homemaker for my taste.

I'm following bookchick's advice, and looking for Hestia pictures. I'll share what I find, icon-wise, but first I had to share this (http://www.annstewartanderson.com/gallery/mythic-women/Hestia.html), which won't lend itself easily to icon-making.

Those are great images, but you're right: I dont' seem as icons.

I just left a comment for Bookchick saying that I love Hestia, but she's a bit remote from the nitty gritty of actual housework.

Still -- you always do beautiful work with your icons, so I'd love to see anything that inspires you!
