Disclaimer: I did not make any of these icons; they are ALL the works of other people. Every single icon has been saved and uploaded to my own photobucket account, so there is absolutely NO HOTLINKING. The name of the icon creator accompanies each icon. Every icon is a hyperlink directly back to the tutorial that it represents. This page is intended as a visual reference for myself (and my friends) in an attempt to keep access to my favorite tutorials when the livejournal memories database is not accessible.
