Hi all, thanks for the votes, and sorry I'm just squeaking in with this tutorial—it's show week this week so there has been a lot of time spent on rehearsals, on the programme, on costumes, and on lolling around recovering!
Anyway. This icon was made (with quite a lot of frustrated screeching) in PS CS5, but it is actually very 'old school' and completely translatable.

Thank you all again for the First Place! I wasn't sure what this challenge was really about, having not been around the last time a brush was used as the object - so I just did what I envisioned the moment I saw the picture - which was basically a 21st century version of a painting by Rubens.
I used Photoshop Elements 5.0

This icon was made using Photoshop CS4 on a PC. It uses a brush made for the challenge, a bit of a stock image, layer stamping and re-sizing, a simple layer style, and a text layer.

This icon was made using Photoshop CS4 on a Mac and it was a seriously happy accident. I got the last layer to work and all of a sudden it turned from a hmmm icon into one I knew I had to keep.

This icon was a lot easier to make than it seems like it should be. Writing the tutorial in a way that shows the steps is actually more complicated. :) The icon was created using Photoshop CS4.

I created this image in PS CS4 on a Mac. I had originally created it without text, but it looked unanchored that way, so I added the text at the bottom as a last minute decision.

This icon was made in PS CS3 on a Mac. It uses a couple of filters, which may not be exactly translatable.
This challenge proved to be a lot harder than I expected! Really, there's quite an art to choosing pictures for an icontest, and I'm still very hit and miss. Ah well, it is supposed to be a *challenge*.

This icon was created in Photoshop CS3 on a Mac, but I'm pretty sure there is nothing that cannot be duplicated in any graphics program.

I'm sorry I'm a bit late with this, last week wasn't a very productive week for me I'm afraid.
First of all, thank you everone who voted for me!
This icon was made in Photoshop Elements 6.0 on a Mac and it may involve many steps but it's really very simple so I think it's translatable to just about any program. We will be going from
