I REMEMBER SO MANY OF THE POSTS THESE ICONS CAME FROM. Watching your icons grow and change throughout the year was definitely a highlight for me, you're style has become so wonderfully unique, and I love seeing your take on it (lol at your monthly titles) because to me, I can definitely see how you've refined everything rather than jumped around places. I mean, there were moments of absolute exploration, which is so incredibly inspiring to be honest, but towards the end you definitely took charge of your skills and honed in on several aspects more so than others.

You clearly rock 'grunge' all over the place though - but I love how you can switch between dark, muted and vibrant so effortlessly. I think it boils down to the way you can use textures to compliment your colouring so beautifully. I am incredibly impressed that you did an entire 20in20 set WITHOUT textures though (I had to make one icon and pretty much cried myself into a ball of fear before going there) annnnnd a set that had text as a claim. That is impressive indeed.

I appreciate your icon resolutions as well, and can't wait to see where the 'experiment' portion takes you, mainly because the icons you picked from November slay me with their amazing crops, so if that's any indication of where you will go I am VERY excited. I'm also here to say that no matter the length of the comment from you (one sentence or longer) it will always be appreciated. I think sometimes people get too invested in length of comments etc, and forget that in the end the person took time to make the comment and that's what counts to most. You are beyond generous enough with your comments as is!

In any case, THIS POST IS FULL OF MAGIC. And reminds me of how much I have truly enjoyed watching your style grow & change throughout the year ♥
