I've been looking around a lot to find interesting brushes to use in icons, and this particular location has turned out to be one of my favorites. She creates icon-sized brushes of all different sorts, for all different kinds of techniques. I'm still learning how to best apply them, and sometimes I get brilliance and sometimes I get WTF results.

Anyway, please check out Mustie's Brushes on LJ and Deviant Art. Her work is wonderful, especially the icon sized brushes. You'll see me periodically reference them in my tutorials, and I'll admit here, I never remember exactly which brush, from which set, I've used (there are too many!).

Was it too long-winded? That was my biggest worry. Especially since I was trying to describe a particularly late night thought process.

Oh I think the idea of the one with all the images and making all our own tools sounds fascinating. I've been um... PS keeps distracting me today and yelling "make brushes with me!" and I actually made one I kind of liked. I'm not sure it's USEFUL yet, but it stamped out pretty, anyway. It might be a better brush than mask.

*tests* Oh yes, definitely a better brush than mask. Ew.

I am now thinking of writing in layers... man, it'd save me scribbling in the margins! I use a program for my novels called Scrivener which actually LETS me write in the margins and on index cards... I can't live without it because it saves me SO much madness.

Not too long-winded at all!

I've heard about Scrivener and it sounds wonderful.

Very happy to hear about the brush-making. :-)
