         I’VE RECENTLY BEGUN DOING ICON COMMISSIONS,   as a way to bring in some money while i am unable to get a job.  i currently offer commissions for icons,  dash icons,  headers,  promos,  and playlists.  even if you are unable to commission me,  i would much appreciate giving this post a quick reblog,  so that i can get the word out some more.  thank you !     all information,  including pricing,  can be found on my commissions page !

VASILYEVNA’S ICON COMMISSIONS.

as i’m pretty short on money at the moment and really need to be bringing in some,    i decided it’s a good idea to start doing    icon commissions.   i’ve put some examples of my icons above in the style i’ve been using for my most recent blogs,    but i am  100 %  willing to change size,    shape,    psd,    or anything else for each person who requests something.    i’m also willing to make dash icons,    mobile headers,    and promos.

PRICES.

-  icon psd:    $ 2 -  10 icons:    $ 2 -  20 icons:    $ 4 -  50 icons:    $ 8 -  100 icons:    $ 12 -  150 icons:    $ 20 -  200 icons:    $ 28 -  300 icons:    $ 36 -  dash icon:    $ 1 -  mobile header:   $ 2 -  promo:    $ 4

anything not on that list can be discussed further.    i really appreciate anyone willing to help me out and commission me.    thanks guys  !    💕    feel free to ask any questions about this.    even if you aren’t able to purchase anything,    giving this post a reblog would really help me out.    thanks  !

          feeling especially generous  ?    you can also donate to my paypal  !

      ‘ no. i, uh, didn’t know that. read a lotta books about poison, do you? ’ 

          ‘  IT WAS MY SISTER’S.    i simply found it  !  ‘    eyes narrow at his actions for a moment,    before she realizes.    ‘  oh,    no,    i haven’t done anything to it  !    i should have chosen a better time to bring it up,    shouldn’t i  ?  ‘    lizzie lets out a laugh,    as if the implication that she would poison him was nothing but a silly joke.    a sip is taken of her own drink,    as if to prove her innocence.    ‘  i have no reason to kill you,    after all,    right  ?  ‘
