Challenge 002: Revolutionary War
Challenge 002: Revolutionary War
The second challenge, hosted by yours truly, will bear the theme "Revolutionary War". This primarily means colonial, but since I love the colonial period so much and have reason to believe I might use it again, I am keeping that theme open. *wink* Isn't there something in a minute man that makes you want to lop off all your hair and go fight? Or in those wide hips which makes you want to go to a ball? Do you catch yourself sighing wistfully over the 1700's in your history book? Even if you aren't that much of a geek, I think everyone can admire these fashions.
Now that I have thoroughly embarrassed my inner history buff, you may submit up to seven (7) icons for this particular challenge, using only the images provided. All techniques except animation are allowed. Submit your entries in a comment to this entry and please be sure to provide the image as well as a URL for your icon.
You have one week to submit your entries, until the evening of Wednesday, January 23th, 2008. My partner,
olde_fashioned, will handle the voting, as I will be in the middle of a move.
Have fun!
