I downloaded this pack at least a year ago or more but I'm really just starting to explore it. in fact I've downloaded the file again because I think I had deleted some of its subfolders.

I don't know that I found them on Facebook - but I don't remember where I first saw them. Probably here on LJ? I had no idea what the heck I was doing and barely understood what a texture was. (And then I also got into making my own textures with my own photographs for a while.)

As you can see from my examples I use the starlight ones quite a bit; I think those are in the first "lights" folder (001). I also use the textures in folder 11 quite a bit.

I'll be adding the textures from lookslikerain, etc that you directed me to and other stuff here. I would have added links to my profile as you've done - it looks very concise and easy to access - but I have all my fandom awards there already taking up room.

You are very welcome btw (the least I can do is share, since you've shared so much!) I'm curious to see what textures you end up using.

Your icon examples have some of your best work represented.

OMG thank you! I put a bunch together to show at the colorfilter journal (she got back to me which was really nice) and was really surprised by how well they went together. It made me realize I do have a "style" - or rather I have two distinct ones. In one direction I go for luminosity, clarity, bright color, softness; in the other I go for grunge, cracks, muted/faded tones, erasure of the image - for the look of decayed wall murals, faded photos and peeling paint.

1, 3,7, 9, 11 and 14.

You listed all my favorites of this group! :D 7, 11 and 14 are in my user pics gallery.
