Round 35: Spice Up Your Life
What about mixing cooking and icon making? Feel the taste of spices, and try to make them into icons. You can use color, texture or taste as the inspiration for your icons. Also as there are only 12 spices you can think of more that you like to use and they inspire you - or use some a few times. Let us know what spices you used in your icon feast (if the answer is not that obvious at first sight let us know a bit more about your choice).
Rules:
🌶️ Anyone may participate. There are no sign-up posts or claims.
🌿 You may submit a set of 10 or 20 icons. Half must be inspired by the theme. The rest are up to you, but you have the option of making the whole set inspired by the theme
🌶️ Indicate in your post which 5-20 icons are inspired by the theme.
🌿 Post your icons in a new post. This may be in this community or in a public post in your own icon journal/community, but make a post in this community with a link to the post.
🌶️ When posting, leave three icons outside the cut/link. The subject should be, "#35: [your username]".
🌿 Please tag your post, "round: 35" and "user: [your username]". If you don't have a tag, I will take care of it.
🌶️ All icons are due by 11:59pm EST on February 28th.
