Icon Meme

[tourmaline]

From zfiledh

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.

These are my icons that zfiledh asked about:

I've been Tourmaline online for about five years, and until very recently I didn't have an icon for it. This is from the Amazon pic advertising the tourmaline ring I treated myself to recently.

Strawberry Shortcake - this was only added recently, and I don't think I've used it before, hence its use at the top of this post. When I was about nine years old I received a Strawberry Shortcake bubble bath set for Christmas from some relatives, I think the character was one of those cartoony creatures created for small girls and sold as toys etc back then (early 1980s).

This was one of many that I created at work during a boring lunchtime on the ancient version of Paint Shop Pro I have on my work PC. I think it's from a stock photograph.

From a set of food & drink icons I created a while back. The wonderful topaz_eyes snagged four of them, it always makes me warm & fuzzy whenever anyone uses one of my creations. This is the full set.

One of elicia8's wonderful creations, iconised by imagi_nation22. I snagged a whole load of this set, I find elicia's art incredibly wonderful and impossible to resist.

from a set I did from the House episode "Euphoria (Part 2)" - when they're watching Steve over the webcam. I think I used it as my userpic on the Devoted To Hugh forum for a while. Proof you can ship House/Wilson without getting porny or Madeleine Basset-like.

Yet another of my creations! This is from my favourite Jeeves & Wooster episode, Bertie has just been hit over the head as part of a cunning Jeevesian plan, and now he's being carried downstairs by Jeeves and Lord Sidcup to conclude the plan.

Comments are welcome! I'll pick 7 of your icons and ask you about them.

Eep! Which J & W episode is that? I'd like to watch it tonight :)

This one? Last ep of Series 3, incorporates "Bingo Has a Bad Goodwood" - Bingo Little is trying to woo a young communist and drags Bertie into his scheming. Meanwhile, everyone else gets involved in stealing a painting, but not before Goodwood is the scene of a Communists v. Blackshorts rally that descends into a brawl.
