Lately I've been entering quite a few icon challenges, so it seemed like the right time to update my awards post.

**PIMPING FOR CHALLENGE TWO AT celebiconathon, CHALLENGE ONE AT reeselims, AND CHALLENGE ONE AT tvfilmiconathon.**

( dun dun dunna, dun dun dunna, start spreadin' the news. )

I'm trying to experiment with different techniques and styles. I would love input on how you think it's looking and overall opinions are always welcome. Also, if anyone has suggestions for further subjects or want requests/interest icons please leave a comment below with the images or thoughts. Thanks!

I've watched many icon makers go through a truth icon meme, and I've finally decided to jump on board. If there is anything you want to see, or would like me to change, or you just want to say a word, please comment either here or at my thread.

Icon Truth Meme/My Thread
I am currently working on a small batch, and they will be included with the ones from my recent challenges. I'm always up for suggestions if anyone has any, as well as, pictures.

I've almost forgotten about this community, but lately I've been competing in lims and challenges, and although university is coming up quickly, I hope to do smaller posts. This one is basically a grab bag of past icons on my hard drive or past challenges. I'd love suggestions of what everyone would like to see. Enjoy.

It has been a while since I last updated, and a lot seems to have happened since. First of all, I have a new username, augurea. I will be posting my icons under my new name while at my icon journal. However, all my communities are under irishborn12, so outside of floatingmelodie everything will stay under irishborn12. Second. I made this batch during various times, and some for icon contests. Overall I am sort of happy with the icons, mostly the pirates and actress ones, but either way, please enjoy!

I hope to begin posting more regularly, however, will school rapidly approaching I fear that that will not be happening anytime soon. I would love some suggestions of topics everyone would like to see in the future. My next post will hopefully be a three-part fanmix I have been working on. Also, I recently finished my last requested icons. I have posted those for danvers, but was unable to find a way of working with the caps encircleme game me, so if you would like something else please post them here. I am sorry for this, and will try to work with some Veronica caps in the future in order to create at least something similar to what you wanted.

Yesterday after creating my recent batch of actress based icons, I realized that there should be an elite community for just actress-themed icons. Seeing none, I made one myself! elite_actress is an elite icon community for actress-themed icons. The icons can feature any television or movie actresses: Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, Kate Walsh, etc.

I am looking for a few other people to become moderators in order to help run the community, if you are interested please go to the co-mod application post. Or, if you would like to apply in order to post, visit the application post.

Please, please, please pimp the community and join if you have any interest.

I am really proud of this group, and I hope you will be too.
It's been a while since I have posted a brand new batch of icons, so please enjoy! Also, I am sorry that I do not have all the requests completed but this is the first time in a while that I have had the opportunity. I shall begin to work on those as soon as possible. For everyone that has already applied for interest icons, if you would like different images, or styles, please let me know. :)

Also, I was thinking of opening an elite actress community, much like goodstockicons, greyselite, etc; however, for actress based icons. I am looking for three to four people to help me run it. If anyone is interested please comment here, or at elite_actress.

I have a variety of lims icons that have sitting on my hard drive doing nothing, so what's better than posting them? :) The last three requests are still being working on, sorry for the long delay. I am working on them, but the pictures do want me to do so. Hopefully things will become more active in the future. Enjoy!

I am still alive, so don't worry. I am sorry that I have been so odd of the loop lately, but hopefully I will post a semi-new set within the next few weeks. I have a ton of icons and banners saved on my hard drive and am looking for a place to put them. :) Requests will also be included within this batch. Sorry those have taken so long. Suggestions are always welcome, and much needed!

PS...
I realize that the layout it completely messed up right now, but it is my goal to fix it up as soon as possible.

First off, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have finally completed the interest icons I promised. I was trying to make each icon different but some how they are all similar in some ways. Most people didn't tell me what they wanted, so I just went with the flow. I would gladly change them around if anyone would wish. I have only made two icons, thus far, for the two people who asked for three. For some reason the images were giving me some trouble. If you would still like your third picture, or would like to choose a different one, I would gladly make you your third request.

All interest icons are shareable!

Interest Icons! If anyone is still interested please go here to request.

The banners have been burning a hole in my hard drive so I have decided to post them all. Please be kind, a few were made a while back. :) They can be used as headers, profile banners, etc. Just don't change them! Also, some have borders and others don't. If anyone would like one with or with out a border, please let me know.

This batch consists mainly of four different pictures iconed in different ways. I was trying new things throughout this batch, so feedback on whether or not this look is working, is always welcome.

10 Watchers! Now only having 10 people watching this community may not seem like a big deal, but I never expected to get one so this is very exciting for me.

To show my gratitude I have decided to make interest icons. I will make up to three interest icons for the first 15 people who leave a comment on this entry. Please leave up to three high-res pictures of the subjects which you would like icons. Also, if there is a particular style you would like, please leave an example in order to clarify what you have in mind. In your comment, please tell me if you want them to be sharable. Once I have 15 people, I will post all the icons in a seperate post. :)

Spots Left: 10

It has certainly been a long time since I have posted anything. For a while I had very little inspiration, but recently I began to make icons again and am pleased with some of the results. I hope everyone enjoys these. If anyone has any suggestions for future ideas please let me know. Nominations are welcome and I would gladly do a tutorial in case anyone is interested.

I have updated the tags and memories so everything is up to date. Also, I have a new layout. What do you think? floatingmelodie

It's been a while since I posted anything so I thought I would do so. I really like my stock icons. The other one's aren't bad, at least I don't think so, so I hope you enjoy. Also, a new layout should be up soon.

Inside you will find a group of icons that have a lot of green and blue tints to them. Also, I know the table looks a little funny but for some reason it will not work after I post more than one group of icons. If anyone has any suggestions on how to change this, please comment below. I would truly appriciate it! Anyway, enjoy this group of colored icons. :)

I saw V for Vendetta yesterday and fell in love with it immediently, which is the meaning for this icon post. As a note there are a few icons that are darker than normal. This is due to the quality of the cap or the look I was going for. Enjoy!
