Icon post :)

[sigune]

Some time ago, I amused myself with making a number of icons out of pictures that I like. You can find the lot of them (= 37) here, but below are a few samples. Please feel free to use any that you like. (This is my first time using my LJ Scrapbook. If there is anything that doesn't work, please let me know and I'll try and sort it out as fast as I can...)

Some of them look odd in the gallery, but click them and you'll see the real thing :). Oh - and when I made the woman with the moon sickle I had lunafishin mind, so if she'd claim that one I'd rather nobody else did.

Oh, they are lovely... The only reason I'm not nicking some/many/all is that I have this weird possessive/originality feeling about my icons - like doing all the choosing & making myself.... Particularly like the Rackhams - a friend and I am in the process of trying to get hold of some Rackham Ring prints for another friend's 30th at the moment!

I second the comment about how beautiful your whole journal is looking, by the way - it makes visiting a truly luxurious and decadent experience. Oscar would approve, I think?

Hee - thank you! The Morris wallpaper does add an aesthetic touch, doesn't it? :)

I know what you mean about icons... It's fun making your own, though I do snatch other people's from time to time. I can't make animations and I'm bad with placing text where I want to it, so sometimes necessity compels me ;).

I love Rackham. You probably wouldn't say so when you see my current stuff, but I taught myself to draw with his pictures and Goble's. I still get sentimental looking at them - and realising how far away I still am from their skill.
