Notes:

1. Hi! It's been a while. Two years almost you could say.
2. As it tends to happen, life and work got in the way of things.
3. I do have a dump post coming of bits and bobs, but for now, here are some icons I made for this month's Mystery Bag round at monthlyinspo
4. I am so terribly out of practice but I kind of also forgot how fun iconmaking can be!

Gorgeous set! I love the lighting and the coloring in this - it's truly fab ♥ Plus, the close crops are amazing. My favorites are 1, 4, 7 (the light! the crop! the colors!!) and 9 (a stunner!)

OOHHH!!I love your icons and often come across your old posts! :D
Lovely to see the vibrant and lit icons.
The crop in 2 and 7-wow!I like the grungy text in 1, The use of the 'fruitcake' is excellent and I just love the colours+lighting in 10!

Yay, this challenge is bringing back so many people! <3

I love how vibrant this set is - your style is still absolutely recognizable. <3 I especially like 2 (wow crop!), 5 (great complementary coloring), 6 (daring texture/lighting use!), and 8 (it looks so complex!).

Great to see you had fun making icons again!

OMG YOU MADE A SET! ♥ I was hoping the lovely icon I saw you post earlier wouldn't be just a one off, and I'm sooo happy to see an entire set, and such a great one too! I can't believe you made these after a two year break??? Where's the rustiness? They're so gorgeous and well colored and shiny and amazing!

2 and 7 are serious close crop magic, both crops are incredible and they're almost opposite in styles otherwise but both absolutely incredible. I love both the muted matte look on 2 and the spectacular glowiness on 7.
9 is aaaawesome, I really love this type of distinctive coloring when done well and here it works super well, and that texture just adds even more to it. 10 is fantastic as well, really loving the neon coloring and the texture use. 5 is another one that stands out, it's just so perfectly vibrant and the red pops out so nicely against the bright greens! But really they're all lovely, and it's fantastic to see you back!!
