Hi Guys!

I know I usually post on Fridays, but yesterday was my BIRTHDAY! YAY, 22!!!

So I am going into NYC today and going to see Lily Tomlin on Sunday. So the long and the short of it is, Im afraid I dont think there will be a post this week. I will work on graphics on Monday (No Work! Yay!) and maybe I should be able to give you guys a MASSIVE post next Friday.

But just a reminder, I will NOT BE POSTING IN THIS JOURNAL ANYMORE! If you would like to see my graphics, please join fatedgraphics There is also a link at the bottom of this entry under the advertisting banner.

If you have any themes or types of icons you would like to see just shoot me a note or email me at handofachlys@yahoo.com. I would love to cater to your needs. Im afraid though that I really cant do personal requests. I would love to, but I am a Montessori preschool/Kindergarten teacher and when I come home.... I collapse.

Come Join!!!

Have an AMAZING WEEKEND!!!

Yes, another one... sorry.

Ok guys, I know you JUST did a poll, but I would really appreciate it if you did ONE more. I have been thinking about becoming a community, because it would be easier for people to find me, but I dont want to lose any of you who have already friended me. So please tell me what you think!!!

OK GUYS! You were pretty split about the community thing too, but I have decided to do it. Just so I can share my graphics with more people. So the new community is named "Fated Graphics". You can find it HERE.. Please join!! I will be posting there as well as here until the second week of October, and then I wont be posting here anymore.

I also have a new rule: PLEASE CREDIT THE ARTIST IN COMMENTS. My icons are very highly based in the beauty of the art I pick, and I think it is important that the artists get the credit. I cant MAKE you do this. But I would really appreciate it if you did. They truely deserve it.

I am really sick. And tired. So most of these are pretty simple. But I still LOVE how some of them came out. So I hope you enjoy. Im gonna go sneeze again.

Come Join!!!

Hey guys! I just wanted to tell you all that I am now a moderator over at iconartistic. This community is amazingly unique, offering icontests every week with a fine art theme. This week is Salvador Dali, and the icons are wonderful so far. Next week is my turn to chose a theme, and let me tell you now that it is a good one!!! So come and join! We could use more icon makers and more voters!

Sorry its been so long!

Sun, 21 Aug 2005 07:15:06 GMT

I know its been a long time guys. Im so sorry. I moved so my cable was shut off. Then I just started my new job. I never thought 25 three years could take every bit of icon-makin energy out of a person... but this what Ive been able to make in my spare time. Alot of them are contest entries, so they are kind of a mish mosh of everthing.

First we have two colorbars (These are beyond fun to make, and in going through some of your userinfo pages, I see that alot of you like em!)

Eyes are Sensual Love.

Pentagrams are spritual love.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24.

I thought these were cute. But I didnt know if anyone else would want them. I have a bunch more. If these three are popular or you guys show interest in seeing the rest, I will make the rest... REally easy. (All I really do is crop em... but shhh dont tell anyone!) So tell me if you like these and wanna see more! Or hate them and want me to bury them in my backyard.

25. 26. 27.

New BANNERS!!!!

AurorasFate Graphics Press

I have a large icon post that I am about to put up, but I just wanted to send out some news first.

First order of business: I just wanted to thank you all for joining. It means alot to me. I hate doing the mass advertising that I have been doing. Im glad you all like my icons so much, I never could have imagined such an amazing response! So anyway, THANK YOU!

Second order of business: I have a new affiliate. solaris_designs is a WONDERFUL community. There are 7 icon-artists there who take requestson anything from blinkies to icons to bases. Definitely check them out.

Third order of business: I have been working all day to secure the rights to many DeviantArt artists work. I have gotten several "ok"s so far, giving me access to use their pieces. These generous artists are listed on the userinfo page, and will be credited when I make an icon out of one of their works. Check out their galleries, I didnt ask for permission to use their work for nothin! Its wonderful!

Fourth order of business: My new job starts on Monday, so I wont have time to post everyday like I was for a while. However, I will be posting AT LEAST twice a week. Probably around the weekends, so if you dont see me post for a few day, no worries! I will soon.

Fifth order of business: Anyone who has requested an icon or an alteration to a past icon, it should be up in tomorrows post. I wil be working on them tomorrow. Im sorry it took me so long, but I am moving and have been very busy.

Sixth order of business: Anyone else who might want to place a banner on their userinfo page... I wouldnt object! Banners can be found on the userinfo page of this journal.

Well I think that about covers it! Stick around for a few minutes to see the next icon post!

Thanks again, guys!

First off, I have a pentagram icon in several different colors. If there is a color I missed that you would like... dont hesitate to ask.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 5.5. 5.75.

New Icons:

6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16.

I LOVE this base. But since Im a complete loser and cant do text (hehe), and dont have a text brush that is appropriate, it is being wasted! I wont have that! So I figured I would post it, and if you can make a text brush for me, or put text on it yourself, then you just have to credit me for the base. It should say "Wasted Tears"... but I cant do it.

17.

Special Request pick-up for Mr. Champney. Sorry its so icky looking, I had to reduce the colors to make it fit. If you want to delete some pictures, I can make it look nicer... but here it is!

18.

Guess what, guys!? I have link banners now. So if you like what you see, and wanna be a sweetie and put a link on your user info page, I wont object!!! Also if you are Moderator or Creator of a Graphics Journal/Community and would like to become affiliates, just leave me a note! My affiliates section is so depressingly small! Also, if you would like to keep up to date on my icons, I recommend friending me. I cant advertise like I have been forever, its exhausting! So... pick up a few icons... and one of the banners below if you are so inclined!!! *By the way, Im sorry to push my advertising on you guys, but posting on all those communities takes SO much time. And I would rather be making more icons for you guys!
