I'm getting there.

[navygreen]

Slowly, but surely.

Remember the icon meme I posted several days ago? I'm sure a lot of you are wondering if I'll EVER finish. I'm getting there, but I'm going at it much more slowly than I'd imagined - it seems there's just too much going on in the summer for me to sit at the computer for very long at a time!

However, I'm going to take a moment to showcase the few icons that I've finished:

For gilliannegarret, the fastest commenter EVER -

"Fireflies"

For welfy, based on a combination of 'Amish' and 'cute old couples' -

"Old Love"

For owensboro_hope, taken from her love of all things Indiana Jones -

"WTF?"
... as well as a more "G-rated" version:

"WTH?"

For redwink, the first to proclaim her love of the Oregon coast -

"Oregon, My Oregon"

For prairie_chica, one constantly in need of "the good stuff" -

"Orange Juice"

For thespis_mellie, who likes to boogie old-style -

"Swing"

For tylerbaby, the nicest "snob" I know -

"Sushi Snob"

For mostcurious, the fan of great French literature -

"Le Petit Prince"

For poetlady, who is both expecting and who loves Mr. Holland's Opus -

... of which I actually made three more versions, since she doesn't yet know the gender of her bundle of joy:


And that's all I've completed so far - 9 requests out of 32. I'm doing them in the order I received them, so if you're further down the list, please keep waiting for me! I'm tickled to death that most of the folks seem to love their icons - some even made my creation their new default - wow!

As to these icons, if there are any that you'd like to use as well, I'm all for sharing... but I also understand if the recipient of the icon would rather keep the "gift" for themself. If you would like to use a particular icon, please comment to the person it was MADE for - NOT me - and ask them for permission. However, please do be sure to credit me in your keywords* for the icon, okay? Thanks!

I love that last icon!! It's cool that you're doing this for everyone.

Thanks. I'm just really slow at it!

[poetlady.livejournal.com]

You are welcome to use it:)

I love it but I like to share icons too, especially special ones.

I would make it my default but my default is "me" which just makes sense for the most part (to me:)

I love the ones I've done so far

[navygreen.livejournal.com]

They were very good. I didn't request only because by then I'd already started to *groan* at having to make my own, and I didn't want you feeling the same pressure. ;-)

I love the icons you've done for everyone! (and can't believe I *missed* the original entry where you offered to make them)

Here's my first attempt at making an icon with text....

I just made a moving icon with an image from google, but am not happy with it -- it's too hard to see the details after shrinking it to 100x100 and it was a tiny image to begin with. *shrugs* One day maybe I'll get there.....

It's very pretty. You're getting there. :-)

[angelrose.livejournal.com]

Very cute icons!

Since you rock at making icons, is there any way you could make an icon out of this picture, but make it look prettier and have it say "welfy" wonka instead?

I'm not sure how to go about removing that text to make it say "Welfy." I've played around with it for a few days, but I'm just too dumb, I'm thinking... :-/
