Some notes:
[random thoughts as I've made these]

• Kinda crazy the first line is mostly all season seven stuff.
• I had a million ideas for 'object' (Gail! The Napkin!) but I settled on something of Toby's. My original idea was the Spaldeen, then I remembered about this.
• Oops, idk how I missed some of the prompts (and then I was drawing a bit of a blank).
• Half and half heavily inspired by this tutorial. I was looking for a way to do something different. (For some reason, the ones I kept visualizing for this didn't work out like I wanted to, ack.)
• I realized, way too late, about the double interpretation for black and white. yikes, self
• I had this idea to use the terrible yellow fishing/cleaning suit for Clothes, rather than one of the gorgeous dresses or suits shown in the show. None of the caps I found were what I was looking for but this one was close. Eh.
• Not too convinced by alone. I tried not to repeat the theme-winning icon I made for Lonely here (which I love). This scene is just perfect for solitude but this icon is so dark. Oh well. (I have a BW alt here.)
• Take Repeat (n. 30) as a reinterpretation of one of the themes, like pink or clothes. I considered that or redoing one of the icons.
• No lie -- I was hoping there'd be an animal theme soon :D The icon didn't come out like I wanted but editing early season caps is hard. I also had a more obvious Gail icon () but I think I liked the first time we saw her best. This is so one of the ones I'll think of redoing. (I didn't go for the moment C.J. accepts her because I've done that one many times. It's a fave.)
• Spent four days in Valencia (13-16) so I kinda lost my inspiration for this back there. Hopefully it's back.
• Oops. Stopped there for a while, a bit unintentionally. Some themes I couldn't get inspired for, some others I just forgot. Alt for Celebration
• History: Almost went for Santos' inauguration (first Latino candidate/president) but I had made an icon for him fairly recently. So I went with C.J. -- first female Chief of Staff :) (Many alts: 1 2) And I left Jefferson in there so... history!
• Alternate for Right: https://i.imgur.com/HmVH8hb.png I make so many icons in between I don't even realize I repeat textures from one theme to the other, oops. I feel like I use the same textures over and over.
• Got to admit: I had a few bad fall months, both personally and technologically (they included having my laptop at the shop for awhile). So I lost all my inspiration.
• I'm sad this is over and I'll likely re-start with another fifty, probably for this.
