Thank you everyone for your topic contributions. We decided to use a suggestion submitted by Anna Grace. She proposed “Persephone” as the subject for this week’s post. In Greek mythology Persephone is well known for being the embodiment of the Earth’s fertility, but she’s also the queen of the underworld. Her myth says that when she hangs out with Hades down below, everything up top dies, and we get the change of the seasons. So, anyway, she’s our topic. Oh, one more thing. We decided to do this week’s post on brown paper bags. So there you go.

Here’s Koelle’s portrayal of the “Iron Queen.”

Here’s one from Kammer our programmer. I know it rhymes. That’s why it’s cool.
Persephone

This one is Cory’s. He included both Persephone and Hades. He also threw in a backdrop. This kid is magic!

Birthday greetings from the underworld
This birthday greeting comes from Hallie, our administrative assistant. (My birthday is this weekend. Woo hoo!) Persephone offers a cupcake, and Hades has what Hallie seems to be calling a “hell shake”? Um … Awesome?

Peresphone--Gerard
This one is from The Gerard.

And here’s mine. This one turned out a little more effeminate than I intended. It was supposed to be Persephone bringin’ up some spring. I meant for it to be cooler, but I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended in My Little Pony town. It reminds me of the lunch bags that fancy girls in first grade used to bring to school. So I’m a little disappointed–after all, I had a Transformers lunch box made out of metal! It was so tough I used to close it on apples and slice them in half! Roar!

My first grade self would be so embarrassed.

(but, yes, “he will,” contracted kinda looked like “hell” so i thought i was nearly being clever.)
