Submit: Week 353
The themes for Week 353 are as follows, you may submit two different CLAMP icons provided they each fit at least one of the challenges below. A list of series and galleries are available here for your convenience.
Technical: Mokona Modoki
You must feature either the White Mokona (Soel) or Black Mokona (Larg) or both of them together. You are not allowed to include any additional characters, with the exception of random body parts or otherwise indistinguishable background figures. There are a lot of images of them around, since they appear in a few different CLAMP series (Magic Knight Rayearth, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic) as well as various crossover/promotional media, but this minitokyo gallery is a good place to start.
Textures: So Ghislaine
(http://so-ghislaine.deviantart.com/)
You must use at least part of one of the four large textures shown below. You may colour, cut, crop it or combine them however you wish, as well as include outside imagery and other materials, so long as it is still clear that you incoporated the provided resource(s).

Lyrics: Time After Time
You must use at least three consecutive words from the following song. It is not necessary to maintain punctuation/letter casing and you may substitue alternate characters for words where appropriate (e.g. and with &) or vice versa (e.g. ' with the missing letter/s). You are not allowed to incorporate any external text with the exception of tinytext/brushes that are purely decorative and not legible. Don't forget to proofread your entry to avoid potential errors.
Time After Time
Cyndi Lauper
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles, confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories,
Time after -
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
[Chorus]
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
[Repeat Chorus]
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows, you're wondering
If I'm ok
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
[Chorus]
You said go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
[Chorus x2]
Time after time
[Repeat & Fade]

You have until Friday, March 16th at 11:00* PM EDT to submit.
*I've decided to move the submission and voting deadlines an hour later due to my television schedule keeping me away from the computer at the old time... plus my location is under daylight savings time now so the community is already running ahead of schedule anyway ;P
If you have any questions about this challenge, just leave a comment here. Otherwise, be creative, have fun and best of luck to you all!
And remember that each icon you enter earns a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.

EDIT: ATTENTION! Not sure why, lol, but I came home absolutely exhausted from work tonight and I just don't think I have the energy to put together a submission/voting post... took all I had to turn on the computer and meet my other deadlines >.<' I will have them both up tomorrow morning though, feel free to sneak in any last minute entries before I leave the official 'submissions are closed' comment if you so wish and sorry in advance for the delay.
