An idea

May 24, 2008 15:54

So I was bored at work, again, and I saw these really cute new kinds of dots that are "elemental" with flavors inspired by the different elements. That made me chuckle, and I found it quite interesting, and it got me to thinking about the elements and what they meant to me. That helped me come up with this idea about creating different sorts of shrines to the elements and having different sets of icons and things for the different elements in my home. So here are the things that I've come up with, and if anyone reads this and wants to add, just go ahead and post a comment.
