icons: John William Waterhouse

[olde_fashioned]

It seems an age since I've posted any icons! I have a veritable army of them cluttering up my harddrive, so I plan on getting them up and posted before they all go to waste. ;-P

John William Waterhouse is one of my favourite artists, and I decided to do something a bit different with this batch, including both plain textless icons as well as fancier ones.

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

I was just thinking it had been forever and a day since you'd posted. ;) Grabbing 26 - I love the ones you did with that texture.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Haha, were you really? I knew it had been a while, but when I saw exactly how long it had been, yipes! ;-P

Thank you! I had lots of fun with the textures in this batch. :-)

Ooooh beautiful as always! Funny thing-I have some Waterhouse icons to post too and will be doing it next week I think. LOL!

I took 7 & 29 with credit of course. =)

Beautiful! I've always liked Waterhouse. I took 3 and 5.
Thanks!
And also, I'm reading The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser right now and am really enjoying it. If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend it. It seems like something you would like.:)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I adore Waterhouse, and thanks for the comment!

You're right, that's probably something I should read. ;-D Thanks for the suggestion!

Using your icon

[morpho-ophelia.livejournal.com]

Hi:

I am new to LJ and all this Internet stuff. I have used your icon #021 on my LJ and on my Blogger profile.

Will give credit. I love your icons. They are beautiful.

Re: Using your icon

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know you're using my icon...I'm the one who commented asking you to credit.

LJ has a tutorial on how to put a user's name in the comment box when uploading a new userpic, but you can just type my name in there if you prefer.

[xcircus-freakx.livejournal.com]

These are all so beautiful! I'm snagging #28 to use. I'll be sure to credit! ♥

[demeterfrost.livejournal.com]

These are lovely. I snapped up a few for my journal--I'll be sure to give you credit.

[xxxbathoryxxx.livejournal.com]

My absolute favorite artist. Wonderful work! :)

[abluestocking.livejournal.com]

Snagging #3!
