Brilliant work, as you surely know, and so deserving of the wins! The alts are fabulous too! You excel at creating icons with real meaning! (I still can't say enough about the nobility of that Kendra icon!) Bravissima! Thank you for the honour of being your muse!

You excel at creating icons with real meaning!

Sweetheart that is the BEST compliment - but it's entirely true that you've encouraged me to think of meanings and helped me to get better and better, so that any time I make icons (or banners) that's one my mind: WWGT? (What would Gabrielle Think?) *lol*

Thank you for being my Muse! I am a very lucky lady in that regard,

I still can't say enough about the nobility of that Kendra icon!

Thank you, I'm still thrilled with how that one came out too - it's one of my favorites.

Love your banners! And icons 31 and 32 are so beautiful! I love close crops (And, of course, Giles with his cup of tea XD)

Oh thank you sweetheart!

The Giles entry was one of my favorites. Speaking of Giles and tea, did you see the awesome icons double_dutchess did for this round of Summer of Giles?

Thanks for showing me those! Aaaaaw, Giles and the tea: OTP! (I especially like the tiny!Giles one. He's just the cutest boy)

Little Giles in the comics does look an awful lot like the love child of Harry Potter and William Pratt (pre-Spike) doesn't he? (You were right about the Giles - William resemblance - by both Levins and Isaacs - but I don't think it's intentional.)

Giles and the tea: OTP!

It's probably the only deeply satisfying and lasting relationship he's ever had, poor Giles. Tea is always there when you need it.

So many wonderful icons, but I particularly love all your framed Faith ones! My favourites of the alts are #4 (for its nostalgic quality, like an oldfashioned postcard) and #7 (for the way the celtic knots mirror her curls). And of course, I approve of any icons featuring Giles and tea :-)

Many thanks for the congratulations -- and for voiting for one of my icons, even if it wasn't the winning one. This was not just my first time having a go at WE, but at any icon contest, so it's great (and very motivating) to have won an award at first try! I can't wait to see my banner.

Oh and of course, congratulations on YOUR wins for btvsats20in20! They were well-deserved as always.

Absolutely awesome icons, my friend. :)

Thank you so much m'lady!

Thank you sweetie! (I just noticed I hadn't friended you yet, all fixed now!)
