Lazy Saturday

[triskellian]

I'd forgotten how much fun it is to have an entire day containing nothing I have to do, and only an assortment of fun things I might do if I feel like it. Today's fun things have been a lengthy lie in, a delicious brunch, finishing one book (Lirael) and starting another (Abhorsen), buying a beautiful Mah Jong set (sadly not playing it yet, though), some quality mooching around, creating my new icon, a delicious dinner, and now Ferris Bueller's Day Off :-)

OK, this is just another gratuitous icon post ;-)

Your gratuitous icon post just switched icon on me, how strange...
(No GIP's here gov....)

Ah hah, so it did. That'll be because I changed the keywords of that icon, then. Silly me ;-)

I like yours, but... what is it?

It is actually a photo of a bit of a skirt I own. The skirt is quite odd and then I took an odd photo.

Ooh - like the toon icon !

Did you draw that ? It's a pretty decent likeness. (Not to imply that you're a muppet with art packages or anything, but drawing stuff that looks like specific people is hard.)

Thanks ;-)

I nicked the basic shapes from various 'dollz' websites, and fiddled with them to make them fit each other (and represent me - the basic ones are very skinny ;-), but the hair, the eyes and the clothes are all my own.

It's actually easier than you might expect with that little space - all you need is a couple of distinctive features (hair and eyebrows in my case), characteristic pose and clothes, and it seems to work! I couldn't even begin to do it on paper, though ;-)
