The Last of The Honey Month Icons

Feb 28, 2011 11:59

And so we come to the end of February, the month of my birth and the month of Amal El-Mohtar's inspired melimancy in The Honey Month. If you've read my userinfo, you know that my name comes from the Hebrew for "industrious bee" and I feel that's rather apropos.

If you are unsure what I am talking about, allow me once more to refresh your memories:

Two years ago, Danielle Sucher sent Amal El-Mohtar a host of honey vials and together they dashed headlong into a month-long creative project. ... In the end, The Honey Month was born. It has since been published by Papaveria Press, in a lovely little paperback volume with limited editions to follow. The collection is utterly intoxicating, full of beautiful imagery and stirring tableaus.

This February, Amal is providing commentary on each piece that composes the collection, and inviting readers to revisit the original posts (which, being written daily, may differ from the final pieces printed in the Papaveria Press volume). If you'd like to read along, you can find these posts at tithenai. (You should absolutely read along!)

... And I have gleefully committed to making at least two icons for each honeyed creation! You can find them in the comments of each commentary post, but I'll also be doing round-ups like this one each week.

Thanks to Amal's inspiring efforts, both in the weaving of words and an engaging artfest, I created 100 icons in the month of February.
