Home-Work Icon Request

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.

try looking on the Housewives' Tarot website.
(rats, no linky cos I didn't bookmark it like I thought I had.)

Might also try looking up images of hestia. Personally, I'm always drawn more to her for home and hearth stuff than the pentacles girls, who always tend to have a 'barefoot and pregnant' aura for me...

But the Housewives' Tarot looks to be a kick!

I'm following [livejournal.com profile] 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.
