The new Barbara icon? Yeah, I made that. In paint. I collected every Aztec!Barbara icon I could find in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
dwicons, put them all (27!!!) in a table, and decided that not one of them was pretty and unpensive enough to suit me. I wanted it to do tripple duty as a hair and beauty icon, a neutral icon of no particular message, and as my monochrome!who icon. I think I've succeeded. Hardest thing was finding a source image - the tragical history tour is not where it used to be but I found it in the end 'cos someone on doctorwho asked. Her left shoulder is a lassooed horizontal rotation of her right - and you can't really notice! :D Hurrah for black and white.
If you give a mouse a cookie ....she'll probably want to play with her icons even more!

I really really <3 the free online Photoshop Express, It's so very fun to use it to improve all my self-made icons. They are no longer drab - now bright and shiny!!
I'm actually quite bemused at how many icons I use that I actually *did* make. I've got many many hundreds in my icon folders but the ones that fit me best are the ones I made. Huh. Except in the department of animated icons. I can't make those. I wish there were a free online animation service - that'd ROCK!
Bad thing is, I discovered PsEx on about page 15 (of some seriously cool little online photo apps directory website I've lost from my history) at around 1AM. *headdesk* I was avoiding PoliSci and Southern Lit homework. Avoided it so well I never did most of it and what I did start, I began at around 3AM. *headdesk*headdesk*
Really don't like Faulkner.
