Ok, so I had over 100 icons for the upcoming btvsats20in20 Round 1. I reduced them to 62 or so because several of them were crap. I went back and made some smile and blending catagory icons I can live with. (Not great, but not entirely embarrassed by my relative lack of skill. Yet.) Now I'm back to 102. That's better. *lol*

Oh for the days when I was young and innocent and churned out icons that were no works of art but not half-bad, and didn't worry about the last damn pixel at the tip of SMG's nose, or wacky concepts like "image clarity". It was just two weeks ago but it seems like years. So young, so innocent. *le sigh*

And I can pan-sear or grill a tbone steak* to absolute juicy perfection, and have my "we need to eat less meat!" ladylove knawing the bone and singing my praises in epic verse, but making an icon table template thing-y is still an absolute mystery. (*That was what I made for dinner in fact - with crunchy oven-baked kale chips, gently sauteed bok choy and fluffy steamed quinoa. My ladylove really did knaw the bone. She didn't actually sing or write epic verse. This need to be corrected.)

No, I'm not freaking out, nor am I coming undone. Laying strewn about the floor in shredded and knotted pieces like a skein of cheap acrylic yarn the aforementioned cat shredded,spat out contemptuously and tossed to the floor, more like. Ok, so minor freaking out may be occuring here.

Since I'm entirely new to this whole 20in20 concept, I have questions. I don't see folks talking about how they do these things, y'all just go about and do them. So, I am curious. If you've made an excess number of icons for a 20in20 or any icontest challenge, how do you deal with the overflow?

And to say thank you to the home audience for playing along, and remind myself that yes, I can do a simple one-and-done icon: Willow in AtS "Orpheus". Isn't she pretty? When all else is in doubt, a pretty lady never fails to inspire me.
