POSTING FROM PHOTOBUCKET? NO WAY!
Yes way! I'm posting directly from www.photobucket.com. Nifty, huh? I thought I would try it out. A few new icons.
i. This is not an actual icon. Unless you want to treat it as such. it's the right size. It was just my first test with transparency on Photoshop. I don't use transparency too much. Well, at all, really. But
now I kind of know how to do it. I haven't completely figured it all out.
ii. A quote from The Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Golem's Eye, "There's probably something invisible with lots of tentacles hovering behind your back right NOW." Over and over and over. I thought it came out quite well.
iii. Kristine wanted this made a while ago, and I just now found a livestrong bracelet picture from Lance Armstrong's website. I didn't do much to it. Just cropped it, and added a border.
iv. Also a quote from The Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Golem's Eye. I love this book. I highly reccomend it.
v. This is a quote from Hang a Thousand Trees With Ribbon: The Story of Phyllis Wheatley. The picture is taken from the American Girl Doll website. it's actually Addy's cowrie shell necklace.
vi. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I love this song, actually.
vii. And yet another The Bartimaeus Trilogy: The Golem's Eye quote. Shall I share? I made it big enough to read (there you go, Kim), I think, but just in case you have trouble.
"A window at the end promised a way out. The cat ran toward it, whiskers back, ears flat against his head. it jumped, then jerked to the side at the last minute with a very uncatlike curse. it had seen the lines of a very high-strength nexus beyond the window. The magicians had arrived. They'd sealed us in.
"The cat wheeled around, seeking another exit. Finding none.
"Bloody magicians."
I ended up taking out half a line, because it wouldn't fit on the icon if I hadn't. The line was "claws scrabbling on the floor." Not very important. But this icon is actually one of my favorites. Probably
just becasue I love this book like no other. except maybe Harry Potter.
EDIT: It turns out that posting from Photobucket screw up everything. It had a whole bunch of funky spacing that shouldn't have been there. Ah well. It was a nice thought.
