Making new icons for friends

I drew the short straw and had to leave Minicon early to put the girls to bed. Since I was home and wide awake, I stayed up making icons. In my ongoing nefarious plan to lure the world onto LiveJournal I had cut a deal at the con with [livejournal.com profile] 1crowdedhour, who has opened up a LiveJournal but has been a little too shy to use it. My deal was that I would make her new icons if she would start commenting, even if she didn't post in her own journal (but I hope to lure her to do that eventually, too). Her user name is kinda anonymous, but perhaps you will guess who she is by the icons, which, if you know her work, are a dead giveaway. They include a king who has just come home, an enchanted blue chocolate pot, and a book cover with the title "River Rats."

When she pays up by starting to comment, give her a warm welcome!

Since I was already in the icon-making I made some for [livejournal.com profile] papersky, too. But I told her no guilt if she decides not to use them.

Cheers,
Peg

I'm glad that she has a LiveJournal now!

Icon-making is addictive, isn't it? I've only just gotten the hang of cropping, resizing, adding text to, and animating pictures, so I keep making really primitve avatars. I'm sure yours are a bit more sophisticated, and I'd love to see them!

Well, they're not MORE sophisticated. I don't even know how to animate (yet)(but I hope to learn). But yes, I'm enjoying playing with cropping, resizing, framing, etc. It is lots of fun.

Tell her we can't say hi if she posts nothing.

Oh! I don't know why I'd never encountered her work before, but I've gone looking, and they look rather wonderful. I'll have to put them on my list. Thanks for the link!

Peg, thank you for the lovely icons. How you have the energy to be so productive in the teeth of Minicon is a marvel.

I've been reading this LJ (among others) for a while now, and find it addictive but this is my first time commenting.

Thanks for the gracious welcome, you guys.
