a present

[helenic]

Dear mirabehn,

On Saturday I will hopefully be giving you something for Christmas. There will be another small thing as well, but I haven't made it yet so it will be posted or brought to the Masquerade. In the meantime, I stole this idea off sinsense who is a genius and did it first. I thought it was an ace present and you said you wanted icons, so:

     

I didn't quite get all your interests, and some of those are only tangentally related to your interests, but a lot of them overlap (like mountains and Scotland, and acting and plays, and Stephen Fry and slash) so hopefully it's okay. You can tell which interest each one is meant to be by hovering your mouse over the images. They are all for you, copyright and all, so whether anyone else can use them is entirely up to you. Enjoy :)

Love and hugs,

Helen xx

eee, thankyou! I think my favourite is the blackadder one, but it's a tough call between several of them :)

[mirabehn.livejournal.com]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you!!!!

And I love them. Every single one. :-D

I think I might just be doing a reshuffle of my icons this afternoon. Possibly. Maybe. *g*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

YAY! *beams* I'm so glad you like them!

Don't worry about using all of them, I knew you wouldn't, but I wanted there to be a fair selection :D

*beams some more*

*is grinning like an idiot at work*

Love you! *hugs* Happy early Christmas solstice festival of light!

Wow (even if I can't make the mouse-over-thingy work).

It's just alt="" inside the image tags... hmm. Maybe it doesn't work in Mozilla... I have IE at work.

Wowww!

Those are gorgeous

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Thankyou! :D

[ghoti.livejournal.com]

They;re all gorgeous! Well done, you.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Yay, glad you think so :) thankyou!

[mr_magicfingers]

Those are absolutely stunning. What an amazing present. She's a very lucky girl

*bows*

I most certainly am. :-)

*off to upload some, hurrah!*

[libellum.livejournal.com]

That's what I thought when I first saw someone do this, as well :) It is a really really good idea. Hence my borrowing it in a shameless fashion!

[skorpionuk.livejournal.com]

Brilliant. Why is it you're not being paid to do this kind of thing, again? :-)

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Because there are loads of people with rudimentary photoshop skills, and if I was doing graphic work professionally I'd have to be much more careful about where my stock images came from!

On the other hand - yeah, digital illustration is one of those options I've had at the back of my mind for a few years now. I need a graphics tablet, though.

Yay, thankyou for being complimentary :D

unconnected anything really

Lovely icons by the way - just a quick note from the artist formerly known as justamephit.

I've de-camped to LJ completely now (drawn by the option of writing filth behind filters, I think) and this is my new home, in case you feel like following me. Ideally, would you mind re-friending me so I keep reading you?

Re: unconnected anything really

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Ah, there you are! Will definitely re-add. :D

[yvesilena.livejournal.com]

WOW :D:D

[libellum.livejournal.com]

*grins* :)

[theobscureone.livejournal.com]

Very nice work, there.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Thankyou!

[dennyd.livejournal.com]

BAGPUSSSQUEEEEEEEE!

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Yay Bagpuss :)

[maga-dogg.livejournal.com]

Wow. Envy. This is a Seriously Cool Thing.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Am flattered :)

We expecting you this week? I don't seem to remember getting a reply to your last mail... I'm now in London seeing my osteopath again on Thursday afternoon, but other than that my plans to spend the days making Christmas presents and the evenings inviting people over to drink mulled wine pretty much stand.

Hail Helen of Wonderfulness.
Hail Hail Hail

[libellum.livejournal.com]

Snow snow snow!

[forthwritten.livejournal.com]

hello - I see your posts crop up on my friendsfriends page sometimes and they're interesting. Would you mind if I added you?

By the way, those are lovely icons.

[libellum.livejournal.com]

I don't mind at all! Most of my LJ is friends only but your interests list is intriguing and the joint (and quite bizarre!) recommendation of biascut and randomchris definitely bodes well, so I'm happy to add you :)
