How can I request the icons in this gallery?
I have previouly offered these icons at potof_gold or my personal graphics journal, DivineSparkle. Monthly I make an open gallery offer in DivineSparkle and weekly I offer new graphics.

How long do you leave your request posts up?
The time my offers are left open varies from icon to icon, but generally they will close about a day after I get my last request for one, or when I'm tired of it. If the offer says "OPEN", then it's still open, regardless of my intentions and you may request one.

What programs do you use to make your icons?
This is the question I always want to ask other makers, so I thought I'd put it here. I use Paint Shop Pro X2, Animation Shop 3 and Ulead Gif Animator 5. I make the single frames in PSP, some of the animations in AS and the final product in UGA because UGA has a feature that allows you to save the file as a .uga and just edit the text later. This makes for very uniform, quick, icon making.

Why don't you make blinkies?

This is what happens when I make a blinkie. I'm not very good at making the boxes and I don't have the patience for making them blink. One day I'll learn it though.
