Actual update containing icons; LotR, Finding Neverland, and other such things

[elicons]

Well, considering my last update was November 23, 2004, I think it's safe to say that once again I have managed to take ages to get an actual update done. Several reasons: I have a life (troublesome, that), a boyfriend (part of said life but twice as much attention is required), and the amount of time I have to make actual icons is not much. I make a few now and then, but generally not more than two or three in one day. Since I don't like to update for every two icons I make, I wait with updating until I feel that I have enough icons for an update. Bad Elvy, be disciplined, blablabla... yes, I know, no, I won't, and what am I whining nobody reads the text bits anyway.

About the icons: I finally got around to working on that Into the West song-set I was babbling about some months back. I made it past halfway, but then my muse died for it, and she's remained dead for ages. Since I don't know if I'm ever going to finish it, I'm posting what I already finished.
I've also made name-icons for my separate lj's, and they're up for display below. I ask that you do not take them, but you may always admire them with big gorgeous, blue, Hobbit-y eyes and politely ask me to make you one, too.
