We're going to try blocking this month! Use any rectangular shape to cut off/obscure/divide your icon. Text is roughly a rectangular shape, too, so it counts. You don't have to use more than one image to achieve blocking. Textures or even single color shapes can be used to great effect.

This is a free inspirational challenge.

( Some inspirational material under here )

* You can make as many icons as you like (if you need a goal, five is a good number :))
* There is no minimum, 1 icon is enough to enter this activity
* Please submit your icons (and URLs!) to this post, all in one comment (if possible)
* Everyone can participate, you don't have to be a member of this community

* I will collect all the icons from the comments and make a result post
* Everyone can leave comments on the inspiration and activity result posts
* There is no voting

Deadline: Saturday, August 23rd, your end-of-day

Early summer is always a quiet time, but we had four makers bravely tumble down the waterfall!

( 35 icons by 4 makers )

Feel free to comment here or on each maker's threads linked next to their name.

Our next activity will be coming up later today.


p.s.: if you're a maker who still has to answer a question, take your time! I'll make Ask Your Maker roundup post only when you're all done.

I've been extremely busy this past month, maybe you've been the same...

This year, we've had six makers sign up, but this is the first time that we've had no requests at all.

If you'd like to use the opportunity now to ask one of the makers something, you're welcome to do so.

Here's the post: https://icontalking.dreamwidth.org/94046.html

If you're a maker who'd really like to write a guide or a tutorial, how about you pick the icon you've made (maybe this year? or in the last 12 months?) that you yourself find the most interesting and write a tutorial about it to share with us. I for one am always happy to read guides and tutorials.

I will leave the round open for another week and then move on to the next activity.

If you want to make icons instead, our list is up to date, and the waterfall round is still open until then, too.
