Gosh, it's been so long! Today I come bearing 28 icons, 2 banners, and 7 wallpapers, most featuring the lovely work of Lee Tzung-tze, available under a Creative Commons license.

So, I know I've pretty much dropped off the face of LiveJournal, but it's been a busy year! I'm done with my first year of university (yay!) and looking forward to having a (hopefully) restful and productive summer. :)

But down to business! Ten textures, made from my own photos. They're really big: 3456x2304. Before you cringe, just think of how high-res they will be! And if you're into photography, think of how you can use them to apply cool effects to all your photos without having to resize them!

Hello! I'm sure you're all just thrilled that I'm posting with a plea for help...but would you consider voting for my photos? It takes only seconds to vote (you don't need to have an account) and you could win me $1000 for school and make me very happy! :D You can vote multiple times; you just have to wait 8 hours between each vote.

Wow, long time no post! Eleven medium/large textures made from public domain botanical illustrations. Most are on white backgrounds, but a couple are on transparent backgrounds. I've included a text file with credits, because some of them are just too pretty to not credit.
