William Blake icons + two Hamlet

[feathered.livejournal.com]

What's worse, crossposting or linking to a different community?

I tend to dislike linking, so I'm choosing to crosspost these to my community, obsessiveicons. Apologies to anyone who sees it twice. At least I'm not posting them one right after the other? And I'll give different introduction text and everything? And you guys get two icons that I won't be posting on OI? This must make up for the evils of xposting.

I really, really disliked William Blake's work the first several times I read it. My standard way to become fonder of anything is to either write about it or make icons of it. Writing about Blake was too close to schoolwork, so icons it is! All but one of these are from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, specifically "The Proverbs of Hell". The one that isn't is from Songs of Innocence and Experience. None of Blake artwork is used, as the only source I could find for it had strict rules on usage. The bases are equally from OI, skellicons and ones I made myself with pictures from Getty. The bases for the last two are from disappearicons.

As a bonus, there are two text-only quotes from Hamlet, because I just reread it and have been saying these in my head all week.

Credit is nice, but totally optional. What I WOULD like are comments telling me which you're taking. You can identify the icons by filename, phrase, placement in the post, description... as long as you let me know.


Blake





Shakespeare

These icons are gorgeous

They are lovely and I'm taking the staircase "What is now proved was once imagined" for science posts.

Thank you.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of linking it to science. That was one of the last icons that I made in the batch, and I just grabbed the first pretty base from my collection. I might make another version with an image that relates directly to some sort of science.

I fear spiral staircases have become permanently linked to DNA in my head.

*iconlove!*

I took: sickrose, clock, palace, and truth. I will credit when I use. Thanks!!!

[feathered.livejournal.com]

The icon that I posted with was made by skellicons, a member of OI who makes fabulous work in her own right. I can't recommend her community highly enough!

[avalonestel.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Took the Blake one about imagination. Will credit if used!

[littleloonlost.livejournal.com]

Ah, wow, adoration. Saving, well, most of them: the first two, the last three on the second row, the first three on the third row and the second last. Will credit when used. They're very beautiful.

These are wonderful. I'm grabbing bee, eternity, flower, nobird2, clock, and imagined.

[headrush100.livejournal.com]

Absolutely wonderful! They're all gorgeous. :-)) For the moment am snagging "to create a little flower", but may well be back for more. Thank you for making them! Will credit of course.

[caffyolay.livejournal.com]

Lovely icons! Have taken busy bee and nunnery. Will credit if I use.

[ladytalon.livejournal.com]

I adore the third one, the eternity one. I can't think when I'd use it, but it's just so pretty and I still have so many icon spaces that I'm taking it, hee. I'll just have to make some more insightful posts about the nature of time, or somesuch.

Those are really, really gorgeous. I dunno where they're from (except for the Shakespeare ones) but they're super pretty and I may snag a few anyway.

[chadric.livejournal.com]

I'm taking all of the William Blake ones? Hope that's all right. I'm keeping them for later use, but I will certainly credit you when I use them. These icons are fantastic! Can't wait for more by you. :)

[feathered.livejournal.com]

Of course it's all right. :) I'm thrilled that you like them enough to save them all.
