THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO VOTED MY FOOD ICON #1 FOR THE THEME!

[red_satin_doll]

And THANK YOU tempertemper for the lovely banner to go with my First Place/Food Theme award from btvsats20in20 Round 8!

Check out the rest of her wonderful banners for spikesredqueen, sweet_lyri and teragramm here. (Her "grey" theme banner for SRQ is especially clever IMO.) As well as the entire winners slate for the round, lncluding starry_night and rua1412. Congratulations to all the worthy winners this round!

I'm very happy this icon won Best in Show because I have rarely worked harder or longer on an icon to get the image clear and keep the frame around it - sometimes trying to make an icon out of a banner can be a bit of a nightmare.

ETA: Many many thanks to the truly generous velvetwhip for being my beta-Muse when I made this icon and the entire set - for not letting me give up and giving me motivation to keep going, for eyeballing my work, offering feedback and truly constructive critiicism. Every artist should be so fortunate.

Thanks hon! It took a bit of doing to get it "right" but I'm glad I stuck with it.

I had meant to thank you in the post - again - for all your help on this project Gabrielle and forgot to last night; that has been well and truly corrected.

I literally could not have done it without you.

I am happy for everyone.

I think I've snagged more icons from round 8 from other people than any other round!
