Activity #27 - Calm and Clear

[tinny]

During heat waves, I tend to make challenges that bring a brief respite from the heat... :). I hope this post inspires you!

( inspiration under the cut )

* You can use any of the inspirational material or none of it. How you let yourself be inspired is up to you.
* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: Saturday, July 21 2019, your end-of-day (ugh, the 21st is not Saturday. You have until Sunday the 21st!)
