Irrepressible Perserverence

I raise my glass of wine to those who, like me, have suffered from stress, other people, more stress, and at times a lack of alcohol when needed most this week.  May your weeks be better and may your wine glasses never empty.

To keep with the theme, icons for drinking!  Take, comment, enjoy.

Once upon a time, I promised to do icons for people, so here's the last of the set for seraangel . Like always, these can go to a good home, just comment to let me know where they're going. They didn't have anything for LARPing so I subbed in role playing and, well, it was fun.

And the only thing I have to say about Paul McDermott is this - I'm not really sure who he is but based on some of these icons I made? DIBS on making him a villain in XP.

So, normally I don't do this but I think my favorite out of all the icons I've done (and I've done some that I've just loved), my absolute favorites came from this post. I always do my top three favorites out of each pick for the preview and number 40 just makes me love that icon so much. It was a lot of fun to work out how to make the top section black and white but the bottom section in color and I think it came through so very very well. And number 31 and 21 are just ... gorgeous.

I took forever with these prompts because of work eating my soul but I'm hoping you guys liked them as much as I did and you'll play again when I ask for more prompts soon. (I'm not quite done as I'm actually going to take five of my interests and make icons. :) )

At last, my next set of icons.  This time, it's for maureenans , though sadly they had nothing of Mitch Langely, my dear.

Normal things apply - please feel free to take, as I love it when you do.  Just comment which one's you're taking and note where you got it from. :)

When my roommate Amanda, starfishumd , looked at my icons on the couch a few days ago, she asked me to try my hand at "Happy".  Like always, these are up for grabs.  So, for Amanda:

Much to ... maybe someone elses surprise but not mine ;), frito_kal  requested baking.  Also, I really, REALLY couldn't resist with the first icon. :D

As always, up for grabs.

Here are the icons for amyamy's pick of ice.  All are up for grabs, usual 'rules' apply (validate me, essentially ;) ).

So, if you guys were to give me words, I'll put them into Getty and make icons off of, say, the first five or 6 pages that jump up.  Come on, indulge me, it's been a trying week (and I'll do icon posts once a week for you guys).

This time, water.

Also, as always, these are up for grabs.  Just let me know if you're taking one and just credit. :D

I've got such a vicious headache tonight that I'm probably going to go to bed soon.  There's an XP meme but I think I'm going to have to tackle that tomorrow.

CHALLENGE:  As I'm feeling awful, and I really stink sometimes at icons (I make good ones for folks but I can't ever figure them out for me) my challenge is this:  make me an icon you think represents me.  (And as much as I love monkeys, if you make me a monkey icon you have to make me something else. XD)  I'm tired of my default icon.  (Or pictures you think represent me and I'll crop. :D)

I started out by wanting to make some icons of pocket watches (1. I desperately want one, always have and 2. guys with them are hot :D) and it...morphed.  So: pocket watches, clock faces, gears/cogs, curtains/windows, building, books, etc.

Favorite three up, rest under the cut.  If anyone wants one, let me know and steal away.

There's no real reason for me using this icon, I just wanted to show it off. :D  Monkey Jack totally rocked!
