A while ago, I opened a request post (Which, by the way, is still open. You can find it here). [livejournal.com profile] moonplanet asked for tea icons, a request I gladly fullfilled, as I love tea as well! In fact, when I searched Goodle Images for 'tea', I came across so many lovely pictures, I made a whole bunch of tea icons. Therefore, I'm posting them all here as well, for you to enjoy and use if you like.

Over at [livejournal.com profile] costume_awards, a secret icon battle was hosted, in which I took place. Lot's of lovely icons where made, so please take a look over here at all the results, if you haven't seen them yet!

The last challenge of Round 5 of [livejournal.com profile] period_rumble was to make your own coat of arms. Quite a difficult challenge, but also a lot of fun! I came up with the following coat of arms, reflecting four important aspects of my life: my faith (cross), my work (science, erlenmeyer flask), my favourite pastime (reading, book) and my background (agricultural family). As a motto I choose 'Respect the mystery'. I don't know it the Latin is right, I translated it with an online translator (so don't shoot me...)

You're very welcome, thanks for commenting!
Yes, I really liked making the coat of arms as well, though I had to scratch my head a few times before I came up with this idea.
