It's been a while since my last post; in that interval my external hard drive crashed (we've yet to see if anything can be recovered from it--and it had all my bases and screencaps on it) and life's gotten more hectic. I had a couple icons made for this one, so decided to get one more and post it.

This set is made up of quotes from avian_dryad's quote posts ( Read more... )

The fun part about going through holiday_wishes is you never know what request you'll see next. Some people request icons, and then it's fun to take a look at their profile and see what they like. I've done that for several people so far--a few I already had existing icons I just pointed them to, but some I got creative and made new icons for ( Read more... )

This set is a request by ksarasara, made in this post, featuring a couple lines from a poem by Richard Siken. Sara, I whipped 'em up kinda fast, so I dunno how well they fit what you were wanting . . .

#1, #2, and #3 use bases by feathered, from obsessiveicons. #4 uses a free About.com pattern, a border brush from quebelly, and another brush by icons_with_love, both from brushaddicts.

It doesn't do very well for making icons (apparently the shareware version is the one that allows layer management, which is *essential*). :P So I made another variation of that icon as #2, using Photoshop this time. The pattern in #1 was from a package by someone named Fredo (on the downloads page). The ( Read more... )

The Christmas season kept me so busy I barely could think of making any icons, but I'm finally making myself cease the organization for a bit and do something slightly creative.

First, #1-2 are a few requests my cousin had me make. Patterns in #1, 3, 7, 8, and 9 are from the About.com free downloads. #4-6 are quotes from Henry Vaughan's poem " ( Read more... )

I found a good source for inspiration and practice--Your Daily Kittenbreak! *g* The feed is kittenbreak, and consists of one picture per day of a cute cat, with commenters on each feed thread talking about dying from the cute, and recording confirmed kills from the cute. *g* Commenters of course offer up what the cat is saying, and from those comments I've ( Read more... )

#1 is a request by avian_dryad, pattern from Nagel's patterns off of About.com. #2 has lyrics from Heather Dale's song "Exile"--I highly recommend it.
