the coloring is lovely and really enhances the image of Tara here. Plus, the words stand out well. Gorgeous.
Thank you for the feedback hon! I'm sorry it took me so long to reply and acknowledge your comments.
What you said about the words in that icon makes me very happy because I do have a thing about "legibility" in icons that's gotten stronger on one level (because I've recently started wearing bifocals), at the same time I'm willing to use text more often as a merely decorative element. But here I definitely wanted folks to be able to see that fragment of Sappho's poem (a translation of the text on Tara's back.)
Which could inspire a whole speech about how Sappho's poems were lost from us for so long and in fact we only possess a tiny fragment of her reputed total output but I'll spare you that speech.
