I'm trying to be better about making icons and updating!

So I haven't been making icons as much lately... Mostly because there was a huge hiatus from obsessiveicons and their icontests. So without those driving me, I lost momentum. Kara requested some a while back, so I made them. And she requested some again about a week ago. So I figured I'd go ahead and post them. There's also a couple of miscellaneous ones too.
( 4 about yarn, 3 melancholic beauty, and 2 misc )
Enjoy and remember the rules!

I will take requests. If you have a particular image, text, color scheme, font preference, theme, anything, please let me know! I'll try to do my best to fulfil your request. Please be specific (I want blue grass and a pink sky) rather than vague (An icon would be totally cool!). So far, these are the requests I have filled. They have a watermark over the image, but the person I made them for has the originals.
Request away!
( Please don't try to remove the watermarks! )

We'll be making this icon today! This isn't the exact, precise cropping as the original because I didn't save it as I made it. This is a recreation of the original.
( Lots of images! )
:D

Well, I'm trying this out as a graphics journal. We'll see how it goes ;)
Some basics:
I decided to make a separate journal for graphics. Just because. My regular journal is over at
fieryminge
I will make sporadic posts with things.
I most likely will take requests (in moderation). This is a hobby for me. I don't devote hours on end to it. I have a life and this relaxes me. So if you make a request, I will get it done, don't worry. I just won't spend every waking moment on it.
I reserve the right to become Friends Only.
If you'd like, I will post tutorials on how I've done something.
I use The Gimp. It is a perfectly acceptable program... it has everything that Photoshop has except the pricetag. The Gimp is free and I love it. I'm getting better poking around the program and testing my abilities.
I guess that's it for now... I'll work on making things so I am actually able to post. And I'll beef up my userinfo too.
