Week 106 Challenge
Egad I'm late getting this up. Sorry about that. I was out of town and got back Tuesday. Since eggdrpsoup extended her challenge I decided not to have them overlap too much. Since her's comes to a close tomorrow I decided to go ahead and post the new challenge.

Theme Challenge
This week's theme:
Wonder
There are only three rules for these icons:
You must use an image from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn
The icon must somehow emphasize the theme
If you're confused by anything, or have any questions, just ask. My contact info can be found in the community's info page.
Other notes: Any text is acceptable, though quotes from The Last Unicorn, either the movie or the novel, are preferable. Brushes, borders, etc. are perfectly fine. Also, it is perfectly acceptable for the text in the icon convey the chosen theme. Of course, all the usual rules also apply (you can't show your icon to anyone until after the winners have been announced, icons must be up to lj's standards, no animation, etc.).
Tarot Challenge
This week's card:
10 The Wheel (sometimes The Wheel of Fortune)
At its most basic level, The Wheel stands for "Destiny, fortune, a special gain, an unusual loss, end of a problem, unexpected events, advancement, progress" according to The Mystic Eye Web site and inverted, it stands for "Failure, bad luck, interruption, outside influences, bad fate, unexpected events." With Jupiter as its ruling planet, the Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. Almost every definition of this card indicates abundance, happiness, elevation, luck. A change that just happens, and brings with it great joy. A more detailed description for The Wheel can be found at both Aeclectic Tarot and Lost and Found.
There are only four rules for these icons:
Other notes: Any text is acceptable, though quotes from The Last Unicorn, either the movie or the novel, are preferable. That being said, I do want to reiterate to everyone that Tarot cards were made for an illiterate society, and thus heavily image-based. So I would like to encourage our icon-makers to keep with this tradition, but I won't throw out any icons with additional text on them. Brushes, borders, etc. are perfectly fine. Also, it is perfectly acceptable for the text and/or brushes etc. in the icon convey the theme. Of course, all the usual rules also apply (you can't show your icon to anyone until after the winners have been announced, icons must be up to lj's standards, no animation, etc.).

There are only four rules for these icons:
- You must include the name of the card - in this case, "The Wheel" - somewhere on the icon. (The number - 10, in this case - is optional, and Roman Numerals are acceptable.)
- The icon must somehow convey the traditional meaning of the Major Arcana card it is meant to represent.
- You must use an image from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn. Use of multiple images is acceptable, so long as they're from the 1982 animated film The Last Unicorn.
- If you're confused by anything, or have any questions, just ask. My contact info can be found in the community's info page.
