➤ spring equinox : inspo
Welcome to the new round at theseasonwheel and happy first day of spring!
03. Secret Garden;
As it has been for the previous rounds, here are the three ways to play this game.
❀ Easy Mode:
Your inspirations are the current season, therefore everything that makes you think of Spring (vibrant colours, blossoming flowers, warm sunny days, etc.) , and the general resources provided in this post. Whatever you think fits the theme is fine!
❀ Normal Mode:
Your inspirations are Spring and the alphabet! Your icons should represent letters of your choice and you can interpret them however you like. For example: you want one icon to be inspired by the letter O, what could you do? Maybe use circles somewhere? Or show a character whose name starts with O? Or perhaps you'd prefer to use a font whose name starts with O? Maybe a technique? Or you could just add that letter somewhere. It's up to you. If you have doubts let me know and I'll try to explain better.
❀ Hard Mode:
You will make Spring-inspired icons, use the alphabet and follow four subthemes: Kiwi, Window to the past, A land of myth, Step into the wild. You can arrange the order of the icons/subthemes as much as you like.
❀ IMPORTANT NOTE: It's not easy to use twenty different letters of the alphabet, and if you want to play hard mode it can be a bit too exhausting, so I'm giving you a minum of letters to use, which is 4. This means that ideally 5 icons will represent the same letter. You can icon more letters, but if you don't feel comfortable enough know that you're not obliged and you can go for the minum and still be creative about it. :D
Please state which letters you used and where. (If you feel like it, you could add further commentary but it's not necessary).

02. Window to the past.
Looking back to the previous rounds, is there one theme you'd like to reinterpret or repeat? Tell us with your icons. You can go for a main theme or a subtheme, it's your choice.

03. A land of myths.
Each icon should represent (in any way you think suitable) either a myth, or a specific character from mythology. You can choose the culture you feel more comfortable with.
psychedelicats (aphrodite) ❀ hitsuga (diana) ❀ afeastforme (orpheus and eurydice) ❀ novindalf (sigyn) ❀ afastmachine (baldr)
04. Step into the wild.
The name is self explanatory. Show nature in your icons. It could be flowers, natural environment, anything that fits.
