Challenge #27 : Theme Challenge [Gemstones & Metals for Team Night]
House-Bright proudly presents:
Mod's Note: This amazing challenge was created by the members of Team Bright especially for you Team Night! So your task for next week is to make them a holliday gift and create icons inspired by their post! Also be on the lookout for more inspiration @neutral_court! Also this is the last theme challenge, and because of Christmas it's shorter. So overall you have a week to post your works!
Humans like shiny things. In antiquity, the most prized and precious gemstones were the diamond, ruby, sapphire, emerald and amethyst. Pearls, though organic and not mineral were also prized and used in jewellery and artwork. Over time these gemstones have become imbued with meaning & symbolism in human cultures.
Metals have always had great importance to human societies, especially the most rare elements gold & silver. And other metals are important for making tools & technology.
For this challenge you must make icons representing the gems and metals using the word prompts, colors & styles listed for each one. Please make each of your icons representing only one gemstone or metal at a time (eg: Don't combine ruby & emerald).
You may mix & match to make a collection of icons representing the various gemstones & metals.
