Leah,

Great work!  I saw this when you put it up on Brickshelf and was waiting to
see your announcement so I could comment on it.  My favorite details are the
legs of Artemis and Apollo, the winged feet of Hermes, and Zeus'
thunderbolt.  What were the sources of Hephaestus' torso and head, Hermes'
legs, and those blue flowers?  Also, why does Hermes have one bare arm and
what is Athena holding?
You could use one of the double-sided heads that are popping up on recent
sets to make Janus.  :)  I'd also love to see a Gorgon.  Any ideas how to
make the snake-hair?
