Icons: Ireland

[olde_fashioned]

In honour of Saint Patrick's Day, a dozen stock icons of the Irish cliffs, castles, and countryside. I love the color green and all things Irish, so naturally I enjoy March 17th very much! ;-D I've also included a love banner for those of you who love Ireland as much as I do. :-)

As ever, my icons are not bases, please credit/comment if taking, and enjoy!

Teasers:




Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers above the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons. ;-)

Thank you very much! I checked your profile, and saw that you're Irish, so I shall take that as a compliment! :-D I have some Irish blood in me as well, so I suppose it's natural that I should have a soft spot. ;-)

Lovely as ever! Now I just need to find a reason to steal some, :P . (Me to my brain : No,you are not starting a story about Ireland! )

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you veddy much! *dramatic bow*

You actually need a reason?! *gasp* ;-D I didn't know icons needed reasons...8-/

Me to my brain : No,you are not starting a story about Ireland

Ha ha!! It's a slippery slope!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!

[beauty-doctor.livejournal.com]

Oh! So beautiful!!!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[airehen.livejournal.com]

loving the banner...and the lj-cut quote. I don't really understand the story of the song (and I haven't looked it up), but it's one of the one's I really like.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

That song is my very favourite-favourite of all Celtic Woman's songs. I like it very much. ;-D

I looked up the meaning for you:
"The verses of this song refer to a lover's enlistment in the Irish Brigade who left
Ireland after the Williamite War (1691) to serve in the French Army. In Ireland these gallant soldiers were referred to as 'Wild Geese.' "

These are gorgeous. I've been over there twice, but both times in winter - I so need to go over there in the spring/summer so I can see more green!

I've taken a few, will credit when used :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! And how lucky you are to have been able to go not once but twice! :-D

One week in Ireland was all it took for this girl of Polish-German descent to fall in love! That said, I love all the icons. I'm trying to find the words for what I like about the effect -- it's almost like each icon is a miniature painting on slightly creased paper, which happens to be an effect I think is beautiful and find sadly underused. I have no idea if that makes any sense. I ended up taking numbers 7, 9, and 10, as well as the banner, and I will be sure to credit you for all of them when I use them. :-)

One week in Ireland was all it took

Ahh, behold the power of green! *lol*

And yes, you're exactly right -- I used paper textures on the icons. I'm pleased you like them so much!

[rawenen.livejournal.com]

Love your icons! They are beautiful.
BTW, I´ve aded you to my f-list, if you don´t mind.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I don't mind. :-)

[eillinora.livejournal.com]

these are wonderful! I snagged 3 and 8 and certainly will credit when I use them.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[hominygrits.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness, these are fantastic! Makes me feel proud to be part Irish! Taking a ton!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like them, and I too, am very happy to have Irish blood in my veins! *hee*

[midenianscholar.livejournal.com]

*melts in spasms* I WANT TO GO TO IRELAND!!!

*pulls self together*

Okay. Wow. I love these. ^-^ 2 - texture and the red thingie (I noticed you used that a lot in this batch and I think it's lovely!), 3, 4, - CASTLES! MINE! (*whimper* we used to have one but they sold it!), 5, 8 - Cliffs! Dramatic! I also like your coloring, 11, 12 - colors!

*goes and books a ticket to Ireland*

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

OHHHH I KNOOOOWWW....I want to, too! So very badly!!!

Thank you! I am glad that you like them, and I was wondering if you would. ;-) I did use the red "thingie" a lot -- it's my latest new "toy". I made it myself, and you're welcome to use it if you like. ^-^

You used to HAVE a CASTLE?!!??! Okay, spill it!!

*elbows you out of line and buys tickets first*

[inishmaan.livejournal.com]

Definitely my favourite batch of yours so far! Saving numbers 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9. I believe you have only iconed places in Ireland that I have been to. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Really? Wow, thank you! :-D And I honestly have no idea where any of those places are, but that's fascinating that you've been there. Do you know the names of the castles?

[coffeeshopdiva.livejournal.com]

Those are breathtaking

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
