Oh surely you know her? I must introduce you then I'm sure the two of you will get on FAMOUSLY. :D That was a most excellent icon, sweetie. Well done - you deserve all the praise that comes your way. (And your old art teacher deserves a solid scolding, but they got theirs I'm sure.)

And you honor me with your compliments, truly. You make my hours of procrastination (and indecision) sound so much nicer than they warrent!

Have you voted in Slayerstillness yet? Some of my favorite icons in it are the Buffy/Angel icons, really brilliant work. I would love to be able to make one myself that I was happy with. I have tried making a B/A icon and failed - I've even tried making an Angel icon, still failed. Men are very, very hard for me to even look at. I get bored really fast. I need to look at my issues, apparently.

Thanks again for the tips! Bangel_4e was most helpful. I might enter the Hush challenge, haven't done that since last August.

I admire you doing the lyric challenge ... that is always one that I dread coming up on a 20in20 prompt!

Getting the text right is hard but once I hit upon an idea it's such fun! I find the lyric challenges easier than the Hush challenges that provide specific caps you have to work with, because I might try out a bit of the lyrics with several different images from different seasons and really let my imagination go with it. But perhaps because I'm a writer first and have always been more word oriented anyway.

If I can ever offer any help, let me know.
